How to use a wet tile saw to cut glass bottles

Step 4 The hubs and the nubs...(a.k.a. 'Punts')

Another thing to note are the punts, which I lovingly refer to
as nubs or hubs on the bottom inside many bottles.

When you first begin cutting a bottle from the bottom, keep in mind
that you only need to cut through the glass enough to separate the rings,
or in this case, the bottom, from the bottle.

You might want to save these hubs, who knows when a new idea
may strike. Who knows, you may come up with a great thought for
using them.

Make candles within the nubs of the bottles and hang them from some thin copper wire, but make sure it doesn't melt!

The punts would look good embeded in rock or adobe walls, planters, stepping stones, etc. Lots of uses for those little critters!

The bottle bums would make neat little bird feeders that could be set around or a hold drilled in the center and hug up near birds habitats or bird baths.

Drill a hole through the top, put a chain/string/twine etc through, hang several together and make some wind chimes.... however probably not a good idea to have up high winds, but might make a nice sound in the breeze. Or leave little more lip on and use them as bird feeders.

It looks like a Sombrero.

Use those hubs and nubs as an ash tray. Just an idea.

When I quit smoking years and years ago I tossed out every ash tray. I don't even keep extras around for company, and even put a "No Smoking" sign on our front door. No smoking in our yard, either. Hubby says reformed smokers are the worst. LOL.
