For the lamp, consider cutting several spiral slots into the wood where it overlaps the glass. The air entering the chamber will be swirling upward and may result in an interesting effect for the flame. Thanks for showing the projects.

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Nice idea.

[@user-hj7zk5lo7c]

That's the minimum. The slots are simply necessary, since without them the candle will die out very quickly due to the lack of oxygen flow.

[@user-yt3fn4ix5n]

Nice work.

[@sebastianpereira2132]

There is no point in making spiral holes, especially since it is too complicated! It is enough to drill vertical holes in the wooden stand, and the stand needs to be raised - attach legs or something similar to it so that the air can flow freely from below. P.S. The easiest way to prevent a candle from going out in this case is to drill several horizontal holes in a wooden stand towards the center of the stand and then drill the stand from above so that the horizontal and vertical holes are connected. You will get L-shaped holes.

[@marsogreen2411]

Also, vertical slots in the wood or glass would give a tornado effect to the flame, if so desired

[@agumelen]

The way the glass separates is priceless!!

[@penelopemullender4567]

I would be pleased with any or all of these pieces. I loved to watch my father woodturning , he made so many things for our family. Watching these posts brings back wonderful memories. 👍🏻😊💜

[@JackMackWoodturning]

[@heathercollins4432]

Same!

[@snowysnowyriver]

@@JackMackWoodturning I did! At various points I thought you were making a jewellery box, a vase and a flower pot. All wrong !!😄

[@Colorado_Native]

I thought you were going to make a very tall wine bottle with a wooden base and a wooden cork. Shows what I know. I mostly make dust and chips on my lathe, and on the floor and the window sill ... you get the idea.

[@austinbevis4266]

That’s odd, aside from the coin jar, I knew exactly where this was going from the first cut. I will say that I expected a candle stick instead of the type he used.

[@4RILDIGITAL]

Your work with glass bottles is truly an art form, Jack! It's not just about technical skills, it's about seeing more in everyday objects. Keep up the good work!

[@SMcCaskill]

Absolutely amazing! I had the bank figured out, but the wine glass and candle holder I was clueless. Great job Jack!

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Nice one! Glad to keep you guessing. Which one was your favourite?

[@MrTowelsplug]

​@JackMackWoodturning mine was the bank; because it's something to put near the entry way and is super interesting. Good conversation starter when having guests. The candle one is great too I just hate the smell of most wax personally. The wine glass is intriguing because if you leave the cork in long enough it might change the taste amd add complexity to the future pours. Good if your buying a case of your favorite red maybe?

[@TeriWilder]

Who knew wine bottles could have so many other lives? Very cool, Jack!

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Thanks ☺️

[@r.martin3494]

I loved that you pushed the cork back into the bottle neck from inside. For me it was a great surprise as the plan all came together at the end as I wasn't trying to imagine ahead, just chillaxing.and examining the technique. I think for the wine glass, I'd want a shorter neck and a wider wood base so that it's more stable on the table! 😊 Plus real careful not to try to accidentally bend the bottle-neck when pressing down, but you had to hold the camera at the same time, probably, I get it.

[@Ad-Lo]

I’m especially fascinated by how you cut the wine bottles! The end result is phenomenal!

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Thanks, will you Try this yourself?

[@thefallenarm589]

Some spirit bottles really fit this operation to make candle holders, like gunpowder or silent pool gin bottles for example

[@snafu2350]

It's a v ancient technique, occasionally used in olde-worlde-themed (hence extremely expensive) restaurants to open wine bottles without a cork puller; for pure flashiness, try a bucket of ice water, a feather & a pair of heated tongs :)

[@brianalleyne8978]

It's the best way I've seen bottle cutting so far. Great work.

[@denajackson6274]

​@@snafu2350 what do you do with the feather?

[@user-nx8gk1le2m]

I'm not a wood turner, but I am an artist and I see the beauty in what you do, besides, I'm almost 70 and my hands wouldn't be able to do it, but I really enjoy seeing what you turn out

[@NealVisher]

I love how the fourth bottle was holding wine to pour at the end of it all

[@ervandadamyan5222]

I respect those masters who try to make something beautiful , interesting and useful for people . 😎

[@gandalfgreyhame3425]

Great work. One thing that is important to know is that the reason the internal combustion engine became the main engine for aircraft was that using a simple lathe, an all aluminum engine block could be carved out, with the pistons, etc. That was the key to the success of the Wright brothers. Internal combustion engines had been invented decades earlier, but the industrial smelting of aluminum with electricity had just been invented in the late 1880s, and it was not until then that aluminum became cheap enough for them to order a solid block of aluminum to make their aircraft engine. Making a jet engine with fan blades that could sustain the heat and stresses on an engine was a lot harder, which was why Whittle's early jet engines had centrifugal spinners.

[@keithmishler4095]

I like how you recycle the old wine bottles . I make whiskey tumblers out of od whiskey bottles and give as gifts and sell some . A tip for you to try after sanding the edges of the bottles you can flame them on the edges where they were cut and glaze the glass back smooth you have to get the edge pretty hot but the end result is awesome.

[@JackMackWoodturning]

That sounds great. Il have to give it a try

[@pattigolden1]

I absolutely love it!! Definitely creative!! I had no clue where this was going, because I know you really can't "turn" glass, but you can cut it!!

[@hodin2023]

The lathe is the king of shop tools. And this turner is the master of the craft.

[@patrickmarr7076]

This video is fascinating! As a retired manufacturing engineer (North Carolina USA) I really enjoyed seeing your process and chuck fixtures used to hold the various stages of your work in process.. very creative and functional! There is a similar video on YT of a woman in a camping scenario using oily twine tied around a bottle, then lighting the twine to heat a ring around it so the bottle separates when submerged in water. Variation on the same principle used here. There are some very creative geniuses in this world!

Hello Jack I wondered what you was going to do with the wine bottles and you amazed me s usual. The tea light holder, glass and moneybox are magnificent and unique, you truly are talented, and an artistic person and you are clever as you can put your hand to anything to make these things. Well done great video Amanda xx

[@suzanneyoung6273]

Amazing pieces, Jack. At first when you put the bottle on the lathe, I thought you were going to carve it, this I had to watch. Well I suppose you did in a way. 😊🇦🇺

I had to work within the limitations of the bottle unfortunately… if I could have carved it I certainly would have 😆😆😆
