A kazoo from a glass bottle

Hey today we are gonna make a kazoo! The reason i decided to show this was because the kazoo is so under rated and to also spark ideas on what you might be able to make out of these few tools and supplies!! Lets get started!

Supplies Needed

Some very cold water
A lighter and candle
some metal or plastic caps
wax paper
super glue
hot glue

Tools Needed

drill with a drillbit set
glass scorer
electric sander

Hear it! 

Step 1 Scoring the glass.

Okay so first we need to score the neck so we can take it off the bottle. The technique i used for scoring the neck is by putting the bottle in a corner and rotating it while holding the scorer firmly against the desired breaking point on the neck. Make sure you get a very good score on the neck to keep the break point from wandering. 
WARNING!
Please wear safety gloves and glasses while preforming this stunt.

Really nice looking.

interesting bowed string sound on the vid. You can get other instrument sounds by singing different syllables into it.

There are a number of different types of kazoos to see and make in the photos, files and links sections there.

Also 61 kazoo patents in the files section.

We need to hear it!

_{It would also be a good idea to use a photo of the finished kazoo for the Introduction image.}

The only major issue is the focus of some of the images - for your next project, take lots more photos, watch the focus, use macro if you can, but just use the photos you like from the many you take.
