Nov 16 2007Cut A Bottle With String, Acetone, And Fire
You can cut a beer bottle using string dipped in acetone and then setting it on fire. The video is a demonstration. I like how the guy in the video shows you some great uses for the bottle after you've removed the top. Apparently it makes a great toothbrush holder or place to store desk supplies. While I did enjoy this novel approach to glass cutting, I already have my own bottle cutter. It's called the sidewalk. You may not be left with a toothbrush holder afterwards, but it will significantly decrease foot-traffic in your neighborhood.

From the "COPS: Secret Underground Games in Redneck Villages (NOTE* Trailer Parks)" Series. I will remember this, and add it to the videos of how to polish my rodeo buckle with Comet.

I especially like how he wore rubber gloves. Y'know, for protection from fire.

I've made a couple of lamps out of old liquor/wine bottles. Here's the flickr set with pics of them: http://www.flickr.com/photos/crichgraphics/sets/72157594471873658/

Those hands were awful female looking. And that 'Thansk for watching!' at the end, classic.
Cute though, not a bad idea for a ...toothbrush holder. adds class to any bathroom rofl

i've got an easier method, but it involves getting mad pissed, smashing the bottle on someone's head, and then using it to defend myself from the government.

So, um, did anyone else notice that those hands looked awfully like a 10 year old's?

Mmm... Kozel beer is my favorite Czech beer. I just wish Texas distributors could get it here...

Pretty neat, I wonder what other things this can be done with...I'm going to try it with liquor bottles once they're empty...which judging from my consumption of alcohol, it may take a while to empty all 40 some bottles...oh well, it'll happen.
