This is a step by step guide to the best way that I have found to cut down vintage and antique bottles and upcycle them. There are some tools that are required but I have tried to keep these as basic as possible. I hope some of you find this useful and can now cut down some of your own bottles.
Check out my shop on Etsy where you can buy some of the things that I find: www.etsy.com/uk/shop/VintageP...

To each their own personally. I found taking a bottle cutter scoring the bottle and taking it over a candle flame and dipping it in ice water was the best for me. 9/10 came out perfectly clean cuts doing so and no rest of glass dust particles. I do sand them down on the edges but with a mask on just was warned too many times about that crap getting in your lungs. Good video though!

I’m about 32 miles from Newcastle,got quite a few different bottles from there.Some are stunning so was nice to see a local in the mix ☺️ Brilliant video Ed will show my hubby. I’m not safe around tools 🙈

@VintageParagonUk 2 года назад

There are some lovely ones from up your way, for some reason I have found a few from Newcastle, maybe someone was a fan of NBA 😂 I liked them so much I bought one on etsy from a guy called Jason, his shop is called hand dug history, a little bit south from you maybe but he does great work and they look amazing 👍

I use a small speed square to square up the fence on the tile saw.

@karenpaxton 2 года назад

A lot of work goes into these! Thanks for sharing your process.

@VintageParagonUk 2 года назад

It does take a bit of effort but worth it to save a bit of history I think 🙂

@diggershane9236 2 года назад

Great stuff mate I’ve done a few…. Maybe I’ll do a few more!

@VintageParagonUk 2 года назад

Cheers mate, You do find some really nice pictorials up your way which would look great 👍

@gilltaber2187 2 года назад

Despite the fact this is something I will never turn my hand to, I find watching the process absolutely fascinating so thanks for showing us :)

@VintageParagonUk 2 года назад

I am glad it was interesting to watch, I know how to videos can be a bit boring if it isnt something you are actively looking to do so it is nice to hear 😁👍

@alaskandistractions 2 года назад

Great video! I love the find-creation videos just about as much as the actual finding videos! Lol my brain loves to think there is still a use for discarded items and it’s awesome to see all of the different ideas people have for upcycling pieces! Thank you for sharing another enjoyable video!

@VintageParagonUk 2 года назад

Awesome! Thank you! I am the same, it seems a shame to leave something that is still useful, I am glad you enjoyed it 🙂

@FortfieldBristol 2 года назад

Well done Edd nice items and ideas 👍

@VintageParagonUk 2 года назад

Thanks mate 😊

@debraporch7888 2 года назад

Ed, your video is very informative. I like how you broke down your steps and told us what various tools you used during the steps. You do great work!!! Take care and be safe. Now I'll check out your Etsy store.

@VintageParagonUk 2 года назад

Thanks Debra, hopefully it will help someone along the way to give it a go, I always see people discard lovely broken pictorials that would look amazing cut down, I am not too lucky with pictorial bottles here but I am sure I will come across some at some point. Thanks for watching 🙂👍

@sairytattoos 2 года назад

Thanks so much for making this video! I’ve been after a guide like this for a while now and this is really useful. Will deffo be trying this out ☺️

@stiofanmacamhalghaidhau765 2 года назад

have seen a dozen different ways to cut bottles but this video was one of the better produced explanations and the results are great

@VintageParagonUk 2 года назад

Thank you, a few people have said that they have found it helpful so it was worth making it 😊

@noraleestone2859 2 года назад

I really enjoyed watching this, Ed. The Codd & other bottleneck candle holders are brilliant. :D I hope you make oodles of money.

@VintageParagonUk 2 года назад

Thanks Noralee, just a few ideas to rescue some broken bottles as they are still really nice usually. Glad you enjoyed it 😁👍

@NOWThatsRichy 2 года назад

These are brilliant, you've put a fair bit of work into those bottles, but it does mean that there is another use for many of those broken finds that a lot of people just leave behind, I've seen various other cutting methods used from angle grinding, to scoring with a glass cutter & heating the scoring line until it cracks apart. It surprising how thick the old bottles were, compared to modern ones which are sometimes only 3 or 4 mm thick.

@VintageParagonUk 2 года назад

Thank you! Cheers! it seems a bit of a waste to leave them behind with all the nice embossing and colours. The codd bottles are really thick, sometimes over 10mm so the scoring method doesn't work so well on them but for me this is deffo the best way to do it 👍

@davefoster543 2 года назад

Very helpful Ed. Thanks!

@VintageParagonUk 2 года назад

Thanks 👍

@pamelagray9853 2 года назад

Great information. Love your view!

@VintageParagonUk 2 года назад

The view is so nice, it is a bit treacherous to get up the steps but one of my favourite places to enjoy....when it isnt raining 😂

@diggerlozuk665 2 года назад

Wow amazing Ed! I’ll be trying this! Great video as always mate 👍🏻

@VintageParagonUk 2 года назад

Thanks mate, Always worth giving it a go on some nice pictorials at least 😁👌

@iancadwallender9779 2 года назад

Just spotted your duechars of Newcastle. Just found a whole 1 of these in a local stream.My first whole bottle.

@VintageParagonUk 2 года назад

Nice one! I really like the black glass like that and a good age to them too 👍

@dirtysecretsofscotland 2 года назад

Great video - well explained! We use very similar methods too. That glass cutting blade seems a great investment though - I need to get one! I've got some small diamond burr needle files, but those larger ones are the business! Just off to Amazon now..! Nice work! :)

@dirtysecretsofscotland 2 года назад

@@VintageParagonUk Definitely getting some of those larger files. I know you thought they would be bigger, but they're easily double the size of my ones! Gonna order them now! :)

@grimdoesadventures 11 месяцев назад

I have found that using granite countertop polishing pads on a drill press arbor is a fantastic way to polish bottles. The first grit (50 I think?) Does a fine job of grinding out the imperfections and squaring the top of the glass. Every grit after that takes less and less time. It's good for smoothing everything but the inside of the rim! I'll be uploading a video on my own process soon.

@VintageParagonUk 11 месяцев назад

Great tips, I look forward to seeing your process 😁

@HandDugHistory 2 года назад

Excellent work mate, I use that exact saw!

@VintageParagonUk 2 года назад

Thanks mate, does the job doesnt it 👍

@fluffyparker1328 2 года назад

Did you mention brick acid? What is it, where does one obtain it and would I be harmful if it accidentally got into someone's tea? Asking for a friend.

@VintageParagonUk 2 года назад

Yes, it is the name of a cocktail that is all the rage with the youngsters, if you pop into a wetherspoons I am sure they could rustle one up for you 😂👍 probably wouldn't go well with tea though 😕

Olá from Brazil pronta para mais um vídeo fantastic thanks amoooooo muito 😸

@VintageParagonUk 2 года назад

Muito obrigado 😊👍

@jenniethomas8244 2 года назад

Awsome! I've just pulled out my tile saw. Where did you get the diamond blades from?

@VintageParagonUk 2 года назад

It was online, I think tool station maybe? It was a google search 🙂👍

@BarrySmoother Месяц назад

What about hand polishing them? Some bottles get pretty stained and cloudy after sitting in the dirt for over a century lol.

@TKTrooper Месяц назад

What is the make and model of the cutting machine, or do you have a link? The ones I’ve found are a little to expensive to justify for the amount of use. Thanks
