Next order at the bar

Those square ones are harder for me to cut cleanly so good on this candle maker.
- Oh I try cutting it one and it was a disaster. Better to user professional equipment
- My cutter simply won't handle some of what I'm seeing here. How do you think they did it?
  
  something like this maybe. I haven't shopped for this stuff in almost 15 years and the available options are much better/cheaper than they used to be
- please tell me why people cut these bottles, what is their end objective with this craft?
  
  I made a bunch of drinking glasses. I used a jig to score and hot water to pop it off so it broke smooth and relatively even. Light polishing and there you go. After doing it a while I got the feel well enough to do with beer bottles which I would then drink liquor out of and shatter against the side of my house during bonfires. Unlimited possibilities
  
  It's technically up cycling but like, yikes. For the cost of a handle of Jim beam and a shit load of wax, you could probably just buy a bunch of candles instead, so the end goal here seems to be to showcase alcohol brands?! Is this like when people fill their house with Coke or Mickey Mouse stuff?
  I suppose I'm just as confused as you are. It would make sense to me if they washed the labels off; some of the bottles are visually interesting enough to warrant making showpieces out of.
- How do you cut them? I've thought of getting a tile saw and doing that.
  
  I used a jig with a small cutting wheel to score the bottle then heat the score line with boiling ( or near boiling for thinner glass) and then dip it in water to break along the line. Polish with emery cloth or high grit sandpaper. The less delta T between the hot water and the dip water the smoother the cut. Finding your preferred Temps for the thickness of the glass is the art.
  Edit: Boiling water

i just kind of assumed they were also scented like the bottle they were in and thought "Who would want a vodka scented candle???"
- It’s to remind you of all the shot girls over the years. Ahhh, memories.

I rarely drink anymore, like maybe one drink every 6 months, except for wine, which ill have a glass of every couple weeks. But, i save all my bottles, because i fantasize about making things like this. Eventually, i, too, will have problemstic candles!
- Could homebrew some wine! Those bottles are essentially infinitely reusable. Shout out to !homebrewing@sopuli.xyz
  
  Or cider... super easy to start. Just buy the cider in US super markets that are "ascorbic acid" free. Throw in some ale or other yeast, spike with sucrose to your taste and bam! Cheapest drinkable alcohol you can find!
- I like the candles too! I think I am going to change the title because maybe it’s coming off as judgmental and I didn’t meant that.

Definitely thought everything was filled with milk
- Found the mormon!

I don't drink anymore, but I still have 2 lamps I made out of liquor bottles lol
- Did you leave the labels on?
  
  I did! Here's one I made from a Kraken bottle! Sorry it's not the best picture, I'm at work so I can't take a better one just now
