Reference: Turn Wine or Beer Bottles into Drinking Glasses


The article Turn a Bottle into a drinking glass has some good photos of drinking glasses that were once bottles. I am very interested in this reuse of bottles.


There are plenty of videos on YouTube to watch on this topic. Watching the video
Bottle Craft - The ABC of Bottle Cutting is recommended.

Questions:

What is the best method to split the bottle? Cutting or burning?
What is the best method to smooth edges of cut glass?

Ideas:

Setup a jig with a rotary cutting tool to cut bottles ... oh looks like there is a nice product for this Ephrem's Bottle Cutter

Benefits:

"Green" project Reuse
Great looking bottles can be used for years

Great artists

Carol Z's Recycled Bottle Lites

More questions

Are there a lot of people doing this locally, in Western New York?
Is the price determined by the cost of the alcohol / age of the bottle, type of glass?
