I turned a bourbon bottle into a lidded jar on the lathe.

Nice work man! Love me some bourbon, have a few ideas for bottle projects myself. I always hate throwing these awesome looking bottles into the recycling bin.

[@WoodByWright]

OH YA. I love white oak!

[@PhilMakesThings]

How have I gone this long without knowing about William Walker? Beautifully shot video - the quality I aspire to. Subscribed! (I also like bourbon, it makes me happy).

[@lyncablin205]

my dream, been collecting bottles, purchasing glass cutters and almost gave up coz it didn't cut perfectly as i wanted...looking forward for more tutorials on this craft. 😍👍👏

[@mizztyka]

Awesome idea ,men! I will love ❤️ one of those jars 😍😍

[@sgsax]

Really nice combo of materials here. And now I have another bourbon to try. :)

[@mrclean2005]

Great job Will

[@salvageyarddesigns2036]

FINALLY! A great idea for a way to keep my cool looking bourbon bottles! I'd made string lights out of some of mine, but they are a pain to make and not really handy to put up anywhere. Thanks! And I've got your "stupid cuts" topped....I'll tell you about it over a bourbon sometime!

[@Badgerworkshop]

Love this idea. I will start emptying some bottles

[@TheWoodYogi]

Excellent idea 😊 ॐ

[@BruceAUlrich]

Oh, congrats, Will! That's cool that you'll be on that podcast now. Looking forward to it! I think there would be some cool juxtaposition with storing simple things like cotton balls or cotton swabs in this jar. You know, things that promote health, since the bourbon doesn't actually. Anyway, nice video. ;)

[@RobinLewisMakes]

Awesome video Will, hope the podcast's going well

[@danlynch1154]

Cool I love white oak, prefer scotch but love the oak. Well done!

[@bigscreenbird8198]

Really sweet man! Btw... I’m in Nashville now and all my tools and all our staff is supposed to be here Dec. 1. It was all supposed to be last week also!

[@johnconklin9039]

Mmmm... bourbon. Or as it's known around here, Papa's drink when the grandkids are over. : )

[@ScottHaun]

excited about the podcast!

[@reforzar]

I love what you are doing. Keep it up!

[@ScottEKnapp]

Let me know if you need help finishing off the bourbon so you can make more jar lids! Great video! Makes me want to get a lathe.

[@lucm70]

Love it ! From a rum and need lover !

[@ilyaivanov1745]

Interesting video! Great work!

[@northerntierbuilders]

Another awesome video! I don't know why I am just finding it, but it's great nevertheless. I keep waiting for your channel to explode, you make some of the best content on youtube! Keep up the great work!

[@wmwalkerco]

Thanks Jeff! One of these days, I'll get some traction.

[@MrGtownjake]

Dude....you had me at bourbon. Gives me something to do with all my empty bourbon and scotch bottles.

[@renedube1673]

Loved it.

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

love this

[@TheHarryroks]

That clamp "fixture" had me cringe even before the kickback!!! Literally squeezing the wood together with the blade running inside haha. Glad you weren't hurt.

[@whisperingsage]

Beautiful! I have a lot of jars that the lids rust and go pooey. I love my jars though, and need a way to make new lids.

[@miltyler]

Thanks for including the ‘pants wetter.’ Remind us all that mistakes happen.

[@rpederse]

Very nice.

[@cowboydoc]

I like what you're doing.

[@ScottHaun]

best 4 minutes today!

[@KSFWG]

What, oh what, to put in your newly created jar? Why, more bourbon, of course! Then sip it slowly -- after things are finished in the shop for the day... What a silly question.... ;) lol

[@heyarthurzim4827]

I enjoyed your video

[@katraonline1204]

What type of oil did you use for the finish?

[@markchoitz443]

ouch, nice project, always enjoy your work.

2:18 - I'm planning on getting married this Summer so I've started noticing wedding rings. When I saw this shot, it immediately became clear to me that I want a style like yours. Simple straight band with that chamfer on the edges. Don't worry, I've already taken a screenshot and I'll use it as a reference to find something. But I wanted to say, (1) great taste! and (2) got any pointers for my search?

[@wmwalkerco]

+Grant Trotter no lie, we were in the jewlers and I was trying to describe what I wanted. Someone came in to check their order and I said "that one!" I believe this is "brushed cobalt with a chamfered/bevel edge"

[@matt_williams1015]

Being a Kentucky boy, I love bourbon, how was the Michter's? I haven't tried it before. Nice video also:)

[@sincerbeaux767]

I’ve been woodworking for 40+ years. The scariest and most dangerous thing I have ever done was try to saw a round on a bandsaw. I didn’t get hurt but the kickback was violent and scary. Afterwards, I thought that was so stupid.

I am Drunk. I reached for my safety glasses at 0:20.

Link to podcast?

[@T-M-N-T]

How do I open one that is stuck, the glass jar has cracked line down the middle

[@jacobporter4623]

Yeah so blade pinch never good, I wonder if you could have stopped halfway through the cut and moved the clamp round to the back of the blade and continued so at no point do you pinch it. I think the clamp idea was pretty good and would be interested to know if anyone has any safer ways of making the cut as I can't think of any quick methods right now

[@jacobporter4623]

Chris P nice one, I'll have to remember that

[@michalprusek8014]

Love this! Music?

[@wellmaxmachinery2119]

A little hard to make it ,why not use an automatic copy machine? www.copyshapermachine.com ,find model MX7203 or MX7503,this two models can make wooden lids very fast and full automatic.

[@peterkransz3606]

You might have to careful with the wood expanding, glass isn’t all that forgiving.

[@xw6968]

I dont drink but well maybe a bar has a bottle to spare for me.

[@ztooob]

Be more careful pal..
