Beer bottle cups for beer

Has anyone cut beer bottles to make cups for drinking beer?

You mean like with string, ice and lighter fluid?

yes. i can't remember the name of the thread. but i've seen some cool ones cut. i like the ones with the lable printed right on the glass instead of on paper (rouge for instance)

subscribed! what beer memorabilia geek wouldn't love this!

As in these

yes!! awesome. for some reason i still see me drinking beer out of a beer glass/mug. then using these for like OJ or something.

I see them for sale on Etsy all the time. It's pretty cool stuff, especially if the bottle has a neat design.

i have seen this done for a slide for a guitar, but would think it would sharp and dangerous to drink out of

It's actually really easy with just a glAss cutter or a pipe cutter, leaves a nice clean smooth edge

The ones I've seen for sale are smooth along the rim.

Wait, where are those?! Those aren't cut, they are heated up and the necks stretched out, you can still see the lip from the top of the bottle and the Sam Adams signature. Those are some much better than cut ones because they aren't 8oz glasses. I really like the budda beer ones too.

Here is one I cut and sanded.

youtube it..I've seen the guy do that, and it looks fairly easy...he did build a jig, thogh

To cut the bottles you don't need to buy a special bottle cutter. This is how I cut bottles:
firsts you mark with tape and a paper strip where you want to cut the bottle, then put the bottle in a place where there is a 90 degree angle (example: where floor and wall meet), then with a simple glass cutter I press on the bottle and rotate it 360 degrees, in this step you do what is called the score line. The next part is where you actually cut the bottle; get a candle and heat up where you scored the glass. Some tips for this part, if the bottle isn't completely dry inside it will heat unevenly and if you heat up the bottle to much on the next step it will break. After heating the bottle you put the heated part in water. Repeat this process until the bottle break into two. If the bottles get irregular cuts the it might be due to uneven heating or a bad score line, something that helps is to lubricate the cutter and never score twice a sampe place.
When attempting to cut bottles alway wear safety gogles and be aware that glass is sharp and if broken it can cut you

When the bottle is finaly cut the edges will be sharp so you need to sand them, it is extremely recomened to wet the sand paper so the glass dust doesn't get into your lungs
or where a respirator. Start sanding the edges with a rough sand paper and gradually change to a sand papers of higher gritt.
Don't gett disapointed if your first bottles get cut iregularly, it takes some tries to get bottle cutting right.
