    Default Handy bottle trick?

    Dunno if it works, but appears legitimate and might be a handy trick for anyone that works with bottles.

    i know some people who use "cooltubes". to buy a "cooltube" can by quite expensive. so instead they order big, round glass "vases" and cut the bottoms off using this method. makes an instant "cooltube" for a fraction of the cost. someone i know posted a vid but i can't find it right now.

    This seems like the best way to me. If you don't have a wet saw.

    So yeah, that video is great.

    A little long.

    (Save time.)

    (Score ONCE around, pour hot water on the score, pour cold water on the score. POW, it falls off. )
