Woodturning - The Water Bottle - Awesome idea to re-use Plastic 

Love all your work. Although it isn’t safe to keep reusing a plastic water bottle for long periods of time as the plastics eventually releases toxins that can be harmful especially if it’s left in warm places, so I hope you have figured out a way to replace the plastic bottle inside every month or so

Thinking quickly, Dave constructs a water bottle, using only some wood, some woodglue, a lathe, several complicated pieces of machinery, a compressed air system and a water bottle.

The fact that you refilled the bottle from another bottle is slightly hilarious. Also, the fact that you took a break from your work to investigate the incredibly important air pressure rocket was absolutely awesome, glad you included that :)

This guy is awesome because he loves his work 😍

My friends in Philly will be so happy, they finally have a wooder bottle.

3am... Has anyone seen Olivier? Is he still out playing with that water bottle in the shop?

I love the shots at the end, where you're just having fun. It's a great water bottle and a cool project, but the look of glee at the end? Awesome

That is actually a really neat water bottle. Wouldn't mind one like that.

So... We've taken a perfectly reusable bottle and made a perfectly reusable bottle, plus a load of sawdust. Good work 😂👍

J’hésites entre l'artiste et le génie... Sûrement les 2 vu la qualité de tout ce que tu crée, c'est toujours un plaisir a regarder.

Magnifique, comme d'habitude avec vos réalisations !

This workshop is amazing!

Quanto talento. Você é genial, parabéns.

Your work is ALWAYS amazing...but the outtakes were the crown jewels this week!!

Um verdadeiro artista. Parabéns

🤗🤗🤗❤❤

Man, that Trombone arm is Genius. It takes the guesswork out of interior carving, no risk of cutting a hole through your hard work. However, instead of risking cracked and/or leeched plastic every time you replace the interior, you can always use a food-grade water seal, like linseed oil, so you can store the water directly within, and use a cork to cap the bottle. It's like artificing your own Bottle-Gourd, but with recycled wood rather than waiting for the Calabash to grow.

This is beautiful work, truly it is. I thought it was going to be a lovely lamp or a vase. I would not waste this beautiful workmanship on a plastic bottle. Also if you are going to use it with a plastic bottle, I think you should’ve made the bottom unscrew the bottom to replace the bottle because they don’t last forever and you can’t clean it properly the way it is now. Really don’t want to get dysentery or something else disgusting from a dirty bottle. Also, if the plastic bottle leaks the water will turn that beautiful wood to mold on the inside and you probably wouldn’t even realize it. Now, not to waste this beautiful bottle idea, if you could make the bottom screwable, you could use it for presenting your favorite wine at the table, refilling a glass bottle While also being able to remove the bottle to clean it for a different wine. Or to put the leftovers in the fridge.

Is there anything this man can not make on a wood lathe ????? incredible work, destined to be one of the finest craftsman on the planet

Tu mérites vraiment d d'aller loin, ton travail est magnifique, félicitations

Excelente trabalho!

Haha, j'ai adoré le petit plus de la dernière partie😁 et votre travail aussi évidemment 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Your work is next level!!.. truly amazing!!

Show. Amo trabalhar com madeira. Vendo esses maquinarios imaginei muita coisa para se fazer.

When the out takes are as fun as the video. 🤣🤣🤣 Very clever project.

You could cut the wooden bottle into half, put a glass bottle inside and glue it back. 😊 so you can use it for years.

Very ingenious, I'am impressed 👏 Great job.

Que fantástico 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

That was very unique! Liked the added outtakes also. Be cool to see more of those.

This was not at all what I was expecting. I honestly thought it was going to be a wooden water bottle replica, not a functioning device. Well done! Also, the outtakes are great! You should include them more often!

I love how you put the wood together. It turned out nice. Perhaps there’s a way to make it 2 pieces instead of one. Great job on the woodworking!

Beautiful work! Amazing!

Lo que verdaderamente aprecio son tus habilidades con el torno y la madera. Me alegra que tengas tanto tiempo libre!!!!!

The fact that he refilled the bottle with water from another bottle 😄

WOW! That's amazing...and beautiful! Nice job.

Beautiful work!

""It's a very creative solution, but after a while plastic creates micro-plastics and has a bad effect on the human body, of course the end result is amazing in every way, but I think it's worth replacing the plastic bottle with something else !""I wish you a pleasant and successful day and to everyone in strength, health and peace! 👍🍀🇭🇺🌞👆

That is flipping amazingly beautiful. Love the design and look! Thanks for sharing all your great techniques.

You are a freaking weird genius. And I'm jealous of your tools and especially your skills.

Magnifique réalisation !👍🏾

That is a great way to use your offcuts and get that green look while still getting your daily dose of those sweet, sweet microplasticts! Seriously, though, this is a bloody clever idea!

Your woodwork is amazing! But this inflated plastic water bottle inside will always remain wrinkled so that you cannot empty it totally. Remaing water will start to stink. And plastic will dissolve in the water. Maybe the better solution is to cut the wooden bowl into half, to insert a water bottle made of glass and glue it together again.

LOL You're fun. Cheers!

Woooowww... j'adore la menuiserie

Muy buen trabajo. Sumamente creativo! Felicitaciones! P.D.: interesante la práctica de tiro al blanco😄. Germán, Montevideo, Uruguay

WOW WOW WOW, Dude this is seriously impressive, I was wondering the whole time, how & if you were gonna fill it with water & then BOOOOM you defeated all odds & put a bottle inside, my jaw literally dropped open as soon as I realised how you were doing it, I tip my hat to you my friend, well done Sir 🏆

Good video👌

clever, cute and playful. Great combo!

This is insane! Just imaging how usless it can be!

I don't know how functional it can be as something portable, but I figure it would make a really interesting conversation piece on the dinner table. Very, very creative.

This dude is crazy talented!

Amazing creativity 👏

I was wondering how you were going to waterproof the bottle, and it turns out you didn’t even have to! Beautiful as always, Olivier.

Olivier, that was truly impressive! The final result looks great. What made you think of crushing the plastic bottle and using air to puff it back out once inside? Is it only glued at the top? Looking forward to what you dream up next, you never cease to amaze and entertain.

Now how COOL is that! SWEET!!

Super. You have very nice hands.

Don’t ever stop being you! Outtakes were great… the Idea was greater.

You're my favourite turner on YT. Always interesting and creative. That's the first time I've seen you use that metal holder with the four wheels. What happened to the other one that you made out of wood?

Very beautiful.

Magandang pagkagawa ng wood turning bottle humahanga ako sa talent na yan napakagaling

That was awesome! So seriously cool. And loved the outtakes. ::snicker:: Thanks, as always for posting! You do such amazing and creative work, it is a joy to see

We used to have reusable drinks containers called Thermos flasks that also kept the drink hot or cold. So much for progress.

That was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC SIR!!!!!!!!!!!!

Respect you are a real craftsman .

Dave , you are making such as extra efforts that leads your work to the next level , hats off to your talent man , nicely done it with perfect grip 🙂🙂🙂🙂

I love ideas like this. Reminds me of making stainless steel pens based around the pilot g2 cartridge. Making more elegant stuff out of existing stuff is awesome; hope to see more like this in the future.

Amazing skill 👍

Your creativity is amazing!!

Cool water bottle. That workshop is over-the-top. I've actually never seen all of the tooling you were using, like the rollers - ever. And your chisel collection is none like I've ever seen. This stands out from all the other woodturners posting on utube. Cool water bottle.

I was wondering how you were going to get that water bottle inside the container you were making, then you started crunching it down to size. Enough said. Amazing!

Thank you, I love your work.

What an amazing machine!

Hi Oliver, another brilliant project. So good to see you laughing and messing about in your workshop. Due to the nature of the job, you always seem quite serious. Fantastic upload ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

That's one of the coolest wood water bottles I've ever seen

Excellente idée et humour de la fin de vidéo est excellent aussi. Merci.

nice! but I thought it was going to be without using plastic bottle inside, which could be harmful as time goes...but great job! I wish I had a place like that or if I could work there with you :)

What happens when the plastic goes bad? (anyone who has reused plastic water bottles knows this phenomenon)

You're a very innovative guy Olivier!

Love your work! Love your flakiness!

0:31 I love the use of the safety sticks followed immediately by putting your wrist near the still spinning blade, definitely not a good idea!

The project is very interesting, the work is top tier as always, but I've got to say that it's really unhealthy to reuse the tame olzskt bottle to drink because of th plastic degradation that let you drink some of its components diluted in water by time

What a beautiful job, you certainly know how to use a lathe to produce a lovely item....Very well done......Andre..

Very nice

Lots of expensive tools + lots of free time + lots of wood = something useless... amazing!

I really like the idea! But I just had a thought, wouldn't the plastic in the water bottle eventually degrade? I remember there being a reason to not reuse plastic bottles for a reason like that. Or is the idea to replace the plastic part every so often?

Génial !

Wow - that's awesome

Okay man, how in the world have you acquired such an array of tools and equipment at so young an age? I didn’t even know a lot of stuff you’re using was even out there. Fascinating channel, thanks.

Creative and beautiful! The outtakes had me giggling. That’s a good video right there, and I enjoyed it. Thank you!❤

Really cool project, and very useful.

your mind has no limits, excellent job!

Seems like a lot of work for little gain to me! If you love woodworking fine it looks beautiful. I wonder what happens when the glue on the cap lets go and you can't get it open?

I loved the idea of recycling our old water bottles like you show in the video so much that I ended up making one of these wood containers for every discarded water bottle I could find in my home. Although I’m so thankful that I am contributing to saving our planet, if you want to do this you should be aware of a couple of things. One. It will take a lot longer than six minutes as shown in the video. It ended up taking me about six hours per wood container. Two. Although I feel good about recycling the plastic, because I found approximately 85 discarded water bottles, I ended up using a lot of wood and glue. This made me question whether saving 85 water bottles was really worth all of the trees and glue that I used. I also have to buy a larger home to keep the 85 much larger wood containers in. I guess it’s give-and-take. I just wish the guy in the video was a little more upfront about the trade-offs before I endeavored to start this project. Although I did question whether I should continue after I had spent about $2500 on supplies, because I’m not a quitter, I went ahead and saw it through to the end.

Everything works flawlessly

Wow! That's really nice.👍

Beautiful woodwork - impractical. There's reasons disposable water bottles are single use - they are engineered to hold water in a sterile environment. They aren't designed to be washed and reused. That's so much work for something that can be hazardous to your health. Stay safe! And maybe pick a reusable/cleanable liner next time. (Sorry, I don't know anything offhand with the properties you'd need to line the finished vessel. Is there anyway to make your vessel removable so the liner can go through the dishwasher?)

If you cut the bottom part and put a glass bottle, you can still get the result by sticking it later. Also, do not forget that PET bottles contain Bishenol A (BPA). It's a beautiful piece of work in terms of art. Also, gourd was used in the villages of our country (Turkey). Being both light and heat-insulating made it an excellent carboy (water container). Developing technology has unfortunately destroyed it.

GREAT IDEA!!! ❤👍

Alors la création est géniale, mais les bouteilles en plastiques ne sont pas censées être réutilisées par contre, dû aux microparticules de plastique qui se détachent à force de réutilisation, qui ne sont évidemment pas bonne pour la santé. Ça fera une jolie déco, néanmoins

Monsieur... vous réveillez l'éteincelle de la passion pour l'ébénisterie et le tournage que j'ai perdus voila quelques temps... merci :)
