Looking for bombers and unique bottles in Columbus, GA.

If I don't bottle my beer in them, I drink out of them!

Is that a bomber you turned into a drinking glass? Great, all I need is another project.

I've heard it's possible with a string, lighter fluid, and cold water. The thermal shock cracks the glass where the string was wrapped. There is also a tool made just for cutting bottles like that.

That leaves a fairly jagged edge. I mounted 4 small rollers to a piece of plywood, bought a small glass etcher/cutter at home dept that I fixed in place to the board and use the wheels to roll the bottle along the cutter blade in a perfect circumference. (think the rollers for hot dogs in a 7-11).

Then boil water, and pour it gently along the score line, then alternate with cold water, back to hot...eventually they just separate with a perfectly clean edge.
 
Pretty much what rifraf said. I boiled some water and had a bucket of ice water next to my kettle. Dip in Hot for 5 sec., dip in cold for 5 sec., dip in hot for 5 sec. and POP!

Then I smoothed the edges with 60 grit sandpaper and polished with 120 grit. Too easy.
 
I have about 12 twelve packs of 12 oz bottles. Clean with labels still on and in the boxes. North Center neighborhood of Chicago. Pm for pickup in the next week. Thanks
 
I have about 2 cases of clean 12 oz bottles with labels removed, all commercial bottles. In the Fells Point area of Baltimore. PM for pickup in the next week

I'm located in Temecula, CA just north of san diego

I have 50 or so in Winston, NC. depending on where in Central VA you are buying bottles would be cheaper than gas and time though.
 
I have around 60 bottles for free in Columbus OH. I am located near west campus. PM if you want them
