Cut a wine bottle off about 2/3 of the way up the side, just before it starts tapering. Sand the sides. Turn the upper part upside down and melt a stand on to what had been the opening of the bottle. This will make a perfect DIY, low budget wine glass.-- JesusHChrist, Feb 12 2006 bottle cutter kit http://www.glassmart.com/ebc.asp [po, Feb 12 2006] making glasses from bottles http://www.voanews....62&CFTOKEN=38433079 [xandram, Feb 13 2006] Recycled wine bottle to glass http://www.edenstor...he+home+%3E+kitchen... as spotted at the Eden Project yesterday [jonthegeologist, Feb 13 2006] Recycled wine bottle to glass http://www.edenstor...he+home+%3E+kitchen... also as spotted at the Eden Project yesterday [jonthegeologist, Feb 13 2006] The Eden Project http://www.edenproject.com/A zoo for plants (that also sells these recycled things in it's shop) [jonthegeologist, Feb 13 2006] And one glass equals one bottle for convienence.-- Galbinus_Caeli, Feb 12 2006 widely baked in the 70'S-- xandram, Feb 13 2006 //widely baked in the 70'S// ...as was its sister technology, the beer-bottle-melted-flat ashtray cum petit four tray souvenir. They were tragicly uncool then, but might make a nice sardine dish now in a passably cool, retro-kitsch sort of way.-- ConsulFlaminicus, Feb 13 2006 I don't believe even the '70s envisioned fusing the top to the bottom as a stem. Though JC kind of rushed over that part.-- ldischler, Feb 13 2006 Yeah, fusing the top to the bottom was standard. I remember it from Jr. High shop class.-- Galbinus_Caeli, Feb 13 2006 See links for examples of this idea for sale.-- jonthegeologist, Feb 13 2006 [marked-for-deletion] recipe.
