who the fuck would pay that for alcoholic cups that don't come with the actual alcohol that they were initially intended to transport?

9/3/2011 2:05:14 AM

The same people who pay for premie on t-dub?

*ZING!

Shit, I thought this was about:

9/3/2011 4:43:31 AM

I don't get it. They look crappy.

9/3/2011 8:40:40 AM

i kinda like the absolut ones.

9/3/2011 8:41:42 AM

i think it's a cool idea

9/3/2011 8:46:13 AM

I wouldn't pay that much money for them.

[Edited on September 3, 2011 at 8:46 AM. Reason : I would drink and make my own.]

9/3/2011 8:46:39 AM

wouldn't it be hard to make those?

i have no idea, just seems difficult to smooth the glass at the top.

9/3/2011 8:56:32 AM

I would think it would be harder to cut the tops of the bottles off without cracking them. smoothing them out just takes some superfine sand paper and time.

9/3/2011 9:55:07 AM

What type of glass cutter would you use?

I am very interested in making my own.

9/3/2011 9:56:18 AM

I know they make glass tube cutters, but not likely one that would fit that size bottle.

i dont buy anything from that site

9/3/2011 10:41:38 AM

I might by some Finlandia recycled bottles. Only because the bottom looks so cool.

9/3/2011 10:58:50 AM

That how to takes too long. If youre serious just buy a $200 lapidary band saw, i use a inland db-100 to cut up coral at work and its designed to cut glass up to 5" thick.

wtf are you trying to say here?

9/4/2011 1:13:36 AM

I had it all. Even the glass dishes with tiny bubbles and imperfections, proof they were crafted by the honest, simple, hard-working indigenous peoples of... wherever.

9/4/2011 1:15:21 AM

I have a large collection of printed label 22oz beer bottles waiting for me to get around to making them into glasses. A miter saw with a tile cutting blade would probably do it. Just go slow and lots of coolant

A crafty friend of mine just shared this link on Facebook and it reminded me of this thread.

How to cut glass bottles WITHOUT a glass cutter:

I totally expected this to be a big4country thread dedicated to some stupid old shit like those plastic sunglasses that had mirror-like shit on the outside edge of the lens so you could see behind you.

9/6/2011 11:12:12 PM

can't you put a string around a bottle and burn it, and make these yourself.

and since it looks so easy, i'm going to have to try it because
a. its free glassware
b. you can sell this free glassware and make free money!

9/6/2011 11:16:35 PM

I'm not sure if it's already been posted in this thread three times or not, but I heard you can cut your own bottles with string and fire or something.

that is a better how to video- and he does a good job of explaining why. Only thing you need to get in order to do that method is a glass scoring tool (which I imaging you could either buy the one he uses for 45~ bucks or make one yourself, like he suggests doing). If I ever got bored enough to do this, I would totally try this method
