USEFULL
HOBBIES
People
at the liquor store are always asking, "Say Rodge, my wife's dickhead brother is
getting married. Any tips for a gift?
I did this, but instead of string and lighter fluid, I wrapped a copper wire around the bottle, and held it over a candle, rotating to heat the whole wire. Maybe I wrapped moist paper towel above and below the wire to keep the rest of the glass cooler (It was decades ago). It worked! Just had to sand the edge.
So that's how they do it.
ReplyDeleteI will give it a try sometime.
That's also the way to make a bottleneck slide for playing blues guitar.
ReplyDelete"Usefull [sic] hobbies"?
ReplyDeleteMay we respectfully suggest that another useful hobby might be perusing the dictionary?

I gotta have a set of those "Arrogant Bastard" glasses!
ReplyDeleteIt'd almost be worth getting married just to put those on our gift registry!

Moo, if you stay single, you don't need glasses. You can have an entire refrigerator full of bottles.

I used to buy Planters cashews in the jar so I could save the jars for dinner glasses. They looked a little classier than mayonnaise jars.
ReplyDeleteSomebody do this and report.
ReplyDeleteYou can do this to wine bottles. Pack the bottom with plastique and you have an excellent lens for a shaped charge.
ReplyDeleteSo I've read.
