We do glasses of wine bottles with his own hands

Greetings to all masters diy. With you again Mikhalych and today we are making glasses of glass bottles for wine. Why out of wine? Because they are the most lovely in form. I must say that the process is quite time consuming, but for that you get a free beautiful glasses.

Getting. For work, we need a glass container, glass cutter, sandpaper and a bucket of cold water.

To begin to do simple machine, which will help us make a perfect clean cut bottles and significantly speed up the manufacturing process.

The machine consists of a flat surface (laminated fiberboard), and several bars disposed under strict angle of 90 degrees. Accuracy angle here is very important for a smooth cut. Bars anchoring screws as pictured below.

Cutting the bottle is usually used a glass cutter, and to secure it to the machine using a loop of a conventional door latches.

Steklorez expose you to the correct size cups and firmly clamped so that it did not move otherwise clean cut will not work. Then take a bottle, rests in the end bottomed bar. Hands presses the bottle to the longitudinal bar with a glass cutter and begin to slowly rotate it as shown in the photo.

Here you should hear a characteristic crack like glass cutter cuts the bottle. Your slice ready. No need to spend some time on one Reza, only one.

Now the challenge to share a bottle into two parts at the cut end. To prepare this bucket of cold water. The colder the water, the better. It is possible to throw in a little ice water.

It is important that the water level in the bucket immersion bottles was a few centimeters above the cutoff.

Next, take a hair dryer building, and begin to heat the area of the cut. Bottle of cranking to the heating area was uniform. Need to heat about 40-60 seconds for the thin glass wine bottle is enough.

After heating the water in the bottle is omitted. At that moment, when the water level reaches the cut, you should hear the crackling. He beep that everything is fine and you can get a bottle. If you do not hear crackling, then a bottle of poorly heated or the water is too warm.

Here the whole point is that the temperature drop caused deformation of the glass. That is the bottom part of the bottle in contact with the water begins to shrink sharply, and the top is heated. And since there is a cut, the bottle will burst it by a cut line.

The bottle may crack right in the bucket, but if this does not happen, the hands take a bottle of ode to the end and gently breaking. If the bottle does not break, then repeat the process with the heating and lowering of the water.

A similar procedure is done with a bottle of square cross-section, but in this case, put on a plastic bottle on the bottom to make it relatively round as shown in the photo.

Square bottom will not allow you to put a good bottle in the machine and make a clean cut. Next, the procedure carries out the cut as is the case with a round bottle.

Now begins the most time-consuming and tedious process, grinding the sharp edge of the glass. To do this, you can use sandpaper. Grain P 200-240. For a clean start to the large grain, gradually reducing the graininess of paper up to P1000.

We begin sanding in a circular motion. For greater efficiency can be wet sandpaper.

If you have a special tool that will make it faster, feel free to use. You can for example take the grinder with sandpaper, it will be much faster, but not very smooth.

If you are a motorist and you have a paste for grinding in of valves, feel free to use it in the final stage of grinding, because it gives the result much faster than fine sandpaper.

Significantly speeds up the process if damp sandpaper apply a paste for grinding valves. In this case, the grinding process takes about 20-25 minutes.
