Hi! I was having the same idea! They sell glass cutters all over the interweb. This one seems promising - the Generation Green G2 cutter.

Hi,

I have this bottle glass cutter from Delphi and it works pretty good, just took me a couple of tries and worked great. A girlfriend borrowed it and she is having trouble getting a clean cut. You are actually just scoring the glass and heating it with a candle or something, (I have seen some YouTube videos on it) and then icing it down. As the glass cools it just pops apart, if you get a nice scoring around the bottle. You then just sand the edges a bit.

I have been to Delphi in Lansing, MI and drool over so many things there.

I love your idea of a fence. I am thinking of doing an outside shower area and creating one side with my old shower doors and might try your idea out on one or more of them. Thanks for the idea.

I like the idea of the Generation Green G2 because it cuts bigger bottles, but don't know anything about it.

Good Luck and have fun.

If you google the phrase "How to remove glass bottle bottom", several methods are shown. I had some success with the table knife method. I have heard that the acetone & string method works well, too. No method is perfect because different bottles are made in different ways. Some are saying that those Bud Light bottles are thinner than usual. Perhaps the knife method might work best. Let us know what works best for you. - Laura

Bottle cutters don't work as nice as they sound. In fact , my friend owns a stained glass store & she won't stock any kind of bottle cutter because people always brought them back and said they can't get it to work. I had one a long time ago - it took about 6 bottles to get one that actually came apart (and then it had such sharp edges it was unusable ) I think some kind of a glass saw would be your best bet .(Unfortunately ,they're VERY expensive )

I've done this. Here's a link that shows how. And it does take a little practice to get it right.

I've cut dozens of bottoms off wine, liquor and beer bottles. I use an electric tile wet saw. The cheap kind @ Lowe's. They used to be around $89. I saw a video of it on the Internet and have been doing it that way for about 3 yrs.

Here is a saw for much less.

Hi,

I never had a problem with cutting bottles with the Ephrems cutter. But have always wanted a wet saw.
Thanks for the info dcarch. Went to Harbour Freight in MI for a birthday present a few days ago, I should shopped around a bit more. Someday, :) Suzq

I use a tile saw too, it works GREAT! I cut up a bunch and had The Church Ladies over one evening for a Craft Nite/Firepit party!!! I cut wine bottle bottoms(3inches from the bottom) and they decorated them and then we added sand and a small candle...instant votive...they were a big hit!

Fortunately for me, my (somewhat) newly acquired husband came with a bonus wet saw! I'm thinking cut the bottoms off and place tea lights underneath. Wouldn't that be beautiful? Maybe figure out some sort of candelabra?! Then I can use the bottoms in a separate project.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I've now put a tile saw on my Mothers Day wish list.
