I had saved about 20 wine bottles because I planned on doing something creative with them. I lost my job and decided to rent my house out so I wouldn't lose it. As my brother and his friend were helping me move, they came across the 20 wine bottles. They both asked if I needed to join AA! I said that I was going to turn them into lights or something. I still have some of them and I may try the salt thing. I'm just glad it's Epsom salt instead of regular salt because I could see the trail of insects heading towards it! I hope everybody is having a great Christmas!

They make great shapes for sifi spacecraft! Sleak line, smooth surfaces and the glass glitter. Painted right and you got some windows where you can do neat lighting effects

and now you are the proud owner of frosty white glittery wine bottles! Look much more upscale in the recycling bin

Remember the days of dripping candle wax down wine bottles. It was a fun hippy thing to do and the end result was beautiful.

Does that work with Mad Dog and Night Train bottles or just those snooty wine bottles?

I guess I'd surprize you as I don't have any wine bottles laying around. Remember the bottle cutter they used to market? That'd be something to have. Saw demonstration of it. Some pretty nice items made with it.

If you know where I can get that bottle cutter I would appreciate it. Got some real nice dark green bottles just waiting to be made into vases or candle holders! They cost $50 a piece when they were full, hate to just throw them away.

Wish I did. I'd get one for myself. Haven't seen ads for it in years. About the same for that rock tumbler.
