Description

This afternoon when my cousin was recycling a glass water bottle, 🚰
it occurred to me that I haven't recorded my desire to build a **Glass Bottle Wall** anywhere ... 💭

This Pinterest collection is a good source of inspiration if you've never seen a Bottle Wall before:

There are _hundreds_ of _curated_ pictures in this collection,
many of which would only work in a house with no "destructive" guests ...

But this kind where bottles are placed on their side is what I'm thinking of:

# Where in the _SunRoom_?

Not going to use this technique to build the _structural_ walls.
But there is a very _specific_ spot it would look amazing; the wall of the pond:

If this picture means _nothing_ to you, don't worry, it will all make sense to you in due time.

# How to cut bottles to size?

This is a solved problem. There are many bottle cutters we can buy from several online sellers, e.g:

But these "cheaper" glass cutting tools requires 3 steps because they are only _scoring_ the glass:

It could be worth creating our _own_ JIG and using a glass cutting grinder disk instead:

This machine has a turntable and a cutting disk:

If we have to cut let's say 50 bottles to size, then buying a €140 machine "pays for itself" in the _first_ project.
