Like Uncle John says " if at first you don't succeed  ~ drink more beer"

...never truer words spoken...you are wise indeed.

Jason,  if  at first you don't succeed  ~ drink more beer.   The straighter sides of this work well.

Jason,

   Tried again with another blue Bud Light Platinum bottle.  Failed again.  Had a Moose Drool bottle in the shop and used it.  Worked just like on your vid.   Big stupid smile here :).   Had fun with this.  Will try again when the right bottle is in hand.  Thanks!

...just noticed earlier post, my question answered! (-:

Great method Jason! those beer bottles are very lightweight glass and ideal for cutting, would it work on thicker glass like wine bottles...? 

Go Budrows! (-;

As for the platinum bottles, come on, ya got to admit they are soooo cool looking for slides!

Comment by Jason Farthing on March 7, 2012 at 6:32pm

Yeah Uncle John...the important part is the straight score line all the way 'round and having a deep enough pot for the boiling water. If those are the first two that you did, don't worry, you will be a pro in no time...I guarantee.

But next time, get a different beer...I mean come on, Bud Light Platinum...what kind of gimmick is that?

Though I must say, I have never turned down a beer......

I need to get a glass cutter. I've been using a Dremel, and it's a pain in the ass, so I've only made two. This is ridiculously simple.

Folks, this is a cool idea and SHOULD work.  Thanks to Jason.  I honestly did fail and the photo and comments below are making fun of myself ONLY.  I will try it again some time.   I think I scored the bottle poorly and should have had a little deeper vessels for ice water and boiling water.   On the good side, I did not mess up the kitchen, did not get in trouble ` and enjoyed the beers.
