Bottle Knapping Video

Super glue will close them up after they stop, but when you have a bleeder the lighters is a good first step.  :laugh:

Cool video. Using the denim to knap on is a good suggestion if a person doesn't have leather. I couldn't help but notice when you were using the nail to pop the bottom off the bottle, you were holding the bottle bottom with your bare hand. As a suggestion, you could cover the bottom of the bottle with the denim. Having it between the bottle and your hand might save a you a cut or two.

  Yeah, denim is way easier to get than tanning leather. 

That's not when it cut me.  When you hold the bottom it breaks but does not move so you have total control over it when you hear that it is totally broken.  I really can't see getting cut by holding it like that.  It's when I set the bottle bottom on my lap and it started to slide off and I went to catch it is when it cut me.  I'm really not worried about the cuts though as it's all a part of the game.
