ok what I want to know is how did they drill a hole in the bottle? I would love to find a way to cut tops off bottles. I have a bunch of Oklahoma Territory bottles with tops broken, but I dont want to throw away.
I got some gadget in the 1960s that was for making drinking glasses out of glass soda bottles. It was made of 2 or 3 flat aluminum sticks and one or two tan plastic hinges or arm length adjusters. The main part of the gadget was a sharp metal scratcher that would scratch around the circumference of the bottle when you turned the bottle as it was held in the gadget. After a scratch was made around the bottle, a sharp impact would cause the separation of the two pieces. I'm pretty sure I never actually used it to make a tumbler from a bottle. I think a couple of years ago I saw a youtube of a guy doing the scoring of a bottle by pulling on a string wrapped around the bottle and then separating the two halves.ORIGINAL: sodapops
