Woodturning - Old Glass Bottles 

I would love to know where in the world you are all watching from. Let me know below. Enjoy

For the lamp, consider cutting several spiral slots into the wood where it overlaps the glass. The air entering the chamber will be swirling upward and may result in an interesting effect for the flame. Thanks for showing the projects.

The way the glass separates is priceless!!

I would be pleased with any or all of these pieces. I loved to watch my father woodturning , he made so many things for our family. Watching these posts brings back wonderful memories. 👍🏻😊💜

I had absolutely no idea where you were going with all that! What a surprise!! ❤

I respect those masters who try to make something beautiful , interesting and useful for people . 😎

Your work with glass bottles is truly an art form, Jack! It's not just about technical skills, it's about seeing more in everyday objects. Keep up the good work!

Absolutely amazing! I had the bank figured out, but the wine glass and candle holder I was clueless. Great job Jack!

I was absolutely captivated by this video on woodturning using old glass bottles. The craftsmanship displayed is truly remarkable, and I learned so much about the intricate process. The way the artist transforms ordinary bottles into beautiful pieces of art is inspiring. The detailed explanations and the step-by-step guide are incredibly helpful for beginners. This video not only showcases impressive skills but also encourages creativity and recycling. A must-watch for anyone interested in woodworking or upcycling projects!

Who knew wine bottles could have so many other lives? Very cool, Jack!

I clicked on a troll thumbnail, stayed for a creative journey.

Very cool - I can appreciate the artistry and knowledge - the glass cutting was exceptional. Thanks for sharing!

I’m especially fascinated by how you cut the wine bottles! The end result is phenomenal!

I love how the fourth bottle was holding wine to pour at the end of it all

Great work. One thing that is important to know is that the reason the internal combustion engine became the main engine for aircraft was that using a simple lathe, an all aluminum engine block could be carved out, with the pistons, etc. That was the key to the success of the Wright brothers. Internal combustion engines had been invented decades earlier, but the industrial smelting of aluminum with electricity had just been invented in the late 1880s, and it was not until then that aluminum became cheap enough for them to order a solid block of aluminum to make their aircraft engine. Making a jet engine with fan blades that could sustain the heat and stresses on an engine was a lot harder, which was why Whittle's early jet engines had centrifugal spinners.

The lathe is the king of shop tools. And this turner is the master of the craft.

I'm not a wood turner, but I am an artist and I see the beauty in what you do, besides, I'm almost 70 and my hands wouldn't be able to do it, but I really enjoy seeing what you turn out

I like how you recycle the old wine bottles . I make whiskey tumblers out of od whiskey bottles and give as gifts and sell some . A tip for you to try after sanding the edges of the bottles you can flame them on the edges where they were cut and glaze the glass back smooth you have to get the edge pretty hot but the end result is awesome.

Прикольно! Про копилку стало понятно, как только Вы сделали продолговатую прорезь в дереве, с бокалом для вина тоже всё было понятно с самого начала, а вот с подсвечником сюрприз вышел. Очень красиво! 👍

India, you know the best part 0f your work, one can't guess where it'll end, even after seeing thumbnail 😂

I absolutely love it!! Definitely creative!! I had no clue where this was going, because I know you really can't "turn" glass, but you can cut it!!

That's like, who knew? Each piece unique. And it's an awesome set!

Очень интересно наблюдать, что же мастер задумал? В итоге такая прелесть, и как здорово бутылки обрезать, первый раз такое вижу! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 Р. К.

Great stuff. And well done anyone wanting to correct his ways. I'm sure he'll be undyingly grateful.

I love the wine glass idea.

This video is fascinating! As a retired manufacturing engineer (North Carolina USA) I really enjoyed seeing your process and chuck fixtures used to hold the various stages of your work in process.. very creative and functional! There is a similar video on YT of a woman in a camping scenario using oily twine tied around a bottle, then lighting the twine to heat a ring around it so the bottle separates when submerged in water. Variation on the same principle used here. There are some very creative geniuses in this world!

Glass bottle on a lathe,never thought that was possible, amazing

Wood + Glass = ❤

สุดยอดมากครับ.ไอเดียเจ๋งความคิดยอดเยี่ยม.ชอบครับ.ขอขอบคุณนะครับที่แบ่งปัน.จากไทยแลนด์.

This guy is an artist and his woodwork looks beautiful

Wow! What you have made with the bottles is absolutely awesome. If only I could afford a machine like yours! Well done 👍

Damn Jack, you’re good 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

You are literally Timepass Badshah....!🏁👊🏻

Amazing. I thought for sure you were in for a nasty breakage, but you did it, and made some lovely items.

I had no idea where you were going with this and then the surprise was revealed! I always wonder where you get your ideas from. A great mind with no doubt in my mind that what we are watching is both imaginative creation and complex skills at another level.

Minutes of life I will never get back

Amazing pieces, Jack. At first when you put the bottle on the lathe, I thought you were going to carve it, this I had to watch. Well I suppose you did in a way. 😊🇦🇺

Красивые вещи сделаны на прекрасном оборудовании!

That's really dope. Good job. All the pieces were coming together and I saw what you were creating before you put them together. You're very talented.

Now we know where the Joker got his smile from. Greetings from Germany!

Brilliantly done. Great video. Very elegant end. Take care, thanks 😊

You can score bottles with an Avalon bottle cutter, rotate the scored line over a candle, and chill the bottle under cold running water. Pops right apart. Same result.

Bravo....👏👏👏

Absolutely genius

What an awesome way to recycle bottles. Nicely done!

Awesome! Very creative! ❤

So good to see that these bottles can be re-purposed. Well done and beautiful!

Я не перестаю удивляться таланту, изобретательности ,супер .

Hello Jack I wondered what you was going to do with the wine bottles and you amazed me s usual. The tea light holder, glass and moneybox are magnificent and unique, you truly are talented, and an artistic person and you are clever as you can put your hand to anything to make these things. Well done great video Amanda xx

Trop génial! Comme d'hab!🤩

Awesome! Shabbat Shalom (שבת שלום) - "Peaceful Saturday"🪔🪔

LOL LIKE 'BACK TO THE FUTURE ' , WHEN MARTY TURNS ON THE BASS!!!

Dude, you REALLY should wear gloves when you sand down glass.

Absolutely brilliant Jack! 👍🏻 Thank you for sharing!

Brain + creativity = perfection. salute to Jack Mack. Live healthy n strong n do good things. 🙏

This Man is a genius

Love it, simple, well executed and beautiful. I still can't wrap my head around having glass on the lathe, even on very slow speed I'd be sweating buckets if I attempted that. Cheers!

That wine glass from a wine bottle is incredible! Man! But the others ain't bad either!

Why are those videos so satisfying

Совершенно бесполезные вещи😂

You are very talented! And those would make great gifts for Alcoholics!

Near an old sawmill close to Kingsville, Texas where my college landlord used to love wood turning. This was very satisfying to watch !! TY.

God bless you. I ❤ your work keep on for the ❤ of art crafts 👍🇨🇺💯

That was just awesome to sit back, relax and simply watch... Thank you!🙏

So cool! Didn't know you could cut a bottle like that

Thank you so much for this! Great ideas, and very creative!. Красивые вещи сделаны на прекрасном оборудовании!.

Благодарю и принимаю с Благодарностью👍🙏🤝 🔥🖐😃🌞

I have spent the time watching your video in the hopes of seeing something that resembled the title picture but I’ve been had. A really good way to never have me watch another one.

I like watching you create objects from the discarded things in life! You are a good teacher, I’m sure…🙂

Wine bottle became wine glass 😮

Clever and imaginative!

What amazes me is that all the turning is done by eye. His eye is accurate to a thou!!! South Africa

Great job! Watching you use chilled water to shrink one side of the score line, reminded me of a time a did that by accident with one of my Nan's glasses. It had boiled water in the bottom of it to soften some old scuzz . Went to rinse it out and as soon as the cold water hit the bottom, it shrank it so rapidly, the bottom just dropped out. Nan not happy, me, amazed at physics. hehe.

There should be a sign on these vids saying watch if extremely tired.

Very "Thinking 🤔 Out Side of the Box ☑️"! Right On! Sincerely 🤠 Mr Severance, "The Cake 🍰🎂 🥳🎉Man" .

You made those old wine bottles interesting again!

You should use water when sanding glass, it reduces harmful particles.

Accidentally pushed the thumb down ! Now what ! The old bottle Woodturn project so much fun.

Great work! 👍👍 I had NO idea what to expect from the title of the video. I never would have thought to score the bottles that way. In the late 70s / early 80s there was a craze for making glasses from bottles. I knocked up a 'roller' type system to score them accurately.

I saw a guy heating old bottles up, then he used pieces of glass and held them in his forge with pliers, and when the piece of glass was beginning to soften, he used a second pliers to pull the glass apart. By working quickly, he could create thin threads of glass that would stick to the side of the bottles he had cut apart. With different colors of glass, he made some really beautiful patterns! He made mostly drinking glasses, but also napkin holders (by cutting smaller bottles), and I remember some cool trays and a "pot protection" (not sure about the English word, but to protect the tablecloth or the actual table from the dirty or hot pot or pan), and his mix of wood and glass was truly a great idea. That made me think; why not make a tray with parts of fused glass and wood. You could prepare a "fika" in the garden, and with the tray, you can easily carry the buns and cookies, but instead of a thermos, you can have the coffee pot with you, as the tray have a detachable "pot-protection".

How Jack Mackʻs brain works is just amazing. I am mesmerized!

Love these, once again, beautiful 😊

Seattle Washington state West coast U.S.A. Here, THAT WAS AWESOME!! 😊

The curiosity was well worth the wait. Thanks for sharing

That was a ton of fun!

The lathe is mesmerizing. Watched from the U.S.A.

Just love watching the work manship and the wonderful things that he makes

Just blew my mind watching this video. What an imagination.

That was very clever.

Всегда восхищался людьми, которые из ничего могут сделать что-то оригинальное и интересное. Тут главное - придумать. Творческая художественная жилка нужна. Мне понравилось.

Wow! Big surprice Mister Glassturner😀

Fantastic craftsmanship and creativity! I would definitely buy that candle holder!

Simply amazing! Thank you!

Well, it took a while to get there, but definitely the best glass bottle cutting video I've seen on YT. Not to mention the end products were awesome.

From South Africa. So glad I came upon this phenomenal pleasure

I am visiting family in Scotland but am normally in Bulgaria, which is home. You kept me guessing what you were making here!

That was super dope

So satisfying
