Wine Bottle Cutting Jig

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

I’m working on a jig to cut the ends off of wine bottles. I plan on using the tube of the bottle as a glass lamp shade.

The bottle spins on two rolling pins (still usable) while a glass cutter etches the bottle. I was inspired by this wine bottle cutting video (the technique is shown around the 6 min. mark) I saw on Make.

Stained Glass Marbles

Proof of concept to see if traditional stained glass window techniques can be applied to marbles. The plan is to use marbles of various size to create a shade or globe for a lamp. yes, another attempt at a lampshade.
