Tools and materials I propose:
In this video I make a bottleneck slide using my rotary tool and sand paper.
To cut the lowest part of the slide I used a piece of tape as a guide so I could cut straight.
I then used a diamond cutting wheel on my rotary tool to cut the glass.
I set the speed of my rotary tool at it’s lowest and I used water to keep things cool. You don’t want glass to overheat and then cool it, because it will break.
Also use a respirator because inhaling glass dust is pretty bad for your health.
Once my cuts were finished, I used a piece of plexiglass as a flat surface and I wet sanded from 100 to 320grit.
To round over the edges I used sanding blocks which I made out of wood and carpet tape.
You can stop right here, but if you want to polish the glass you can use micro mesh sanding pads which go from 1500 to 12000grit.
And my slide was ready. You can use almost any glass bottle to make it. Although flat straight necks are the most suitable in my opinion.
I am really happy with the way it came out but that was it. See you soon with a new project video.
