Status: offline its a little odd shaped so if you turn it one way it will always try to roll to the same side, what i did with it was, put it on its side in front of someof my soda's, they kept it from rolling off into the floor, and since it laid on its side it didnt hide the bottles salt water or fresh water? what kind of fish do you have? i never thought of putting it in an aquarium, i bet it would look good in one! < Message edited by bottlenutboy -- 7/8/2007 3:28:20 AM > _____________________________ bottles for sale on my website! go check it out! http://www.geocities.com/cleburneslim/index.html?1170417418125 also check out the same bottles on my freewebs site!: http://www.freewebs.com/bottlenutboy/forsale.htm Spencer (in reply to Tony14) Post #: 62

RE: HotDog roller??? - 7/8/2007 3:48:55 AM    L C   Posts: 1584 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: offline Tony, I was conversing with G A C some time ago as for how to display round bottom sodas. I went out in the shop one evening and spent a couple of hours piddling trying to come up with a sensible way of displaying them. The pics below is what I came up with. I tried to contact Ginger Ale Collector, and have never heard back from him. I never thought about going ahead and posting these ideas on the forum to share with all the other Folks in case someone else may want to try something like this. Well, actually, I did think about it, but was afraid everyone on this forum would see just how NUTS I actually am ! AHH , what the heck. There would be different ways to use those below, they could be incorporated into the front area of a wide display shelf, or at the back of one for that matter. I was also thinking about building me another display cabinet like the ones I have made for use in my hallway only make the shelves strictly for the round bottoms, or maybe just one shelf, for say six or seven round bottoms, and then straight flat shelves for flat bottom bottles. For that matter, if the slot system was used, you could put the slots in all the shelves for where you wanted to set the flat bottoms in it, as the bottoms of the bottles would set over the slots without any difficulty at all, or if you had more round bottom you wanted to display later, you would have the option to hang more of them in the same cabinet. I am also adding a shot of one of the cabinets I built for in the hallway to show you what I was referring to .

RE: HotDog roller??? - 7/8/2007 3:53:36 AM    L C   Posts: 1584 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: offline This is one of the cabinets in my hallway, try to visulize the slot if it were in the center of the narrow shelves such as these. If you used the slot, and had one shelf with round bottoms, you would still be able to display fair size medicines and so forth on the front and the back of the shelf where to blob top of the round bottoms came through the top side of the shelf.  Attachment (1) < Message edited by L C -- 7/8/2007 3:56:12 AM > (in reply to L C) Post #: 67

RE: HotDog roller??? - 7/8/2007 4:01:58 AM    L C   Posts: 1584 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: offline I may try one of the ideas as for the slot, and build me another display cabinet just to see how it would work out. I think the slot would work well. The only thing about using the slot, is that the necks of sodas vary as for width. The ones I used measured like 7/8, 1", one almost 3/4". In order for it to work, you would have to know the different widths of the bottles you had in advance, and make a slot that would start out at the smallest Dim., and increase the slot to fit the others as well, to insure a good snug fit to prevent them from falling out of the slot.

RE: HotDog roller??? - 7/8/2007 4:12:37 AM    L C   Posts: 1584 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: offline That wouldn't be a bad idea either Tony, the water would magnify it and make it look bigger, as well as make it look cleaner if it is stained some by being wet,, or I think it would wouldn't it ??

RE: HotDog roller??? - 7/8/2007 4:30:43 AM    L C   Posts: 1584 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: offline I was told by someone years ago that the frosting you see on a dug bottle is actually the silica sand, from where the mineral deposits in the ground over many years bleached out the other ingredients of the glass, and that,  that is why when you get the bottle wet, you hardly see the frosting. Sounded like good logic at the time ! I know, there I go getting Punchy again............................. (in reply to bottlenutboy) Post #: 74

Hey spence its a freshwater tank.  I have mostly gourami in there with a couple of other straglers (red-tailed black shark thats been alive for 8 years now!) Usually when i put a bottle in it does look a lot clearer. Right now i have a quart ball jar and an amber flask down there. Ill probably pull the flask and drop that in. Lou- I like your idea! The only thing is Im only gonna have one roundbottom for now. If i get more in the future ill probably build one! _____________________________ Looking for any Fond du Lac bottle.

RE: HotDog roller??? - 7/8/2007 12:40:59 PM    stinger haut   Posts: 518 Joined: 6/7/2006 Status: offline Spencer, Is this the bottle you cut with sand and some cutting oxide? It sounds like you need to recut the bottle with a finer cutting oxide. Example, I just used a 600 grit cutting oxide to remove some very heavy etching on the inside of a bottle. Now I am going to cut using 1,000 grit cutter for about 24 hours and then go to 1,200 grit cutter for another 30 hours. The bottle's glass will fairly smooth by the time the 1,200 is done. Then go to polish. I have never used sand as tumbling medium, so I don't know what the effect is when you use it. Remember, cutting oxides are harder then the glass, so they will remove very small amounts of the glass. Polish is softer than glass. That is a very interesting machine you made. Unconventional, but if it works, use it. Stinger (in reply to bottlenutboy) Post #: 77

Status: offline quote: Is this the bottle you cut with sand and some cutting oxide? nah,  i didnt use any sand on this one, i tried it on a different bottle and it didnt do anything at all. this one i used 400 silicon carbide for about 24 hours, and then switched to a 0.5 micron aluminum oxide polish for about 48hours and it cleaned it, but still retains some frosting _____________________________ bottles for sale on my website! go check it out! http://www.geocities.com/cleburneslim/index.html?1170417418125 also check out the same bottles on my freewebs site!: http://www.freewebs.com/bottlenutboy/forsale.htm Spencer (in reply to stinger haut) Post #: 78
