I didn’t expect it to work quite so easily. I will work on better proportions and with more interesting bottle in the future I think.

A single cut around with with a glass cutter. Pour some just boiled water over and then cold water. Repeat twice and the bottle just pops apart. The glass edges weren’t sharp but I sanded them a little anyway.

Well, that works! 🙂

How stable is it? And how did you attach the top bit to the bottom bit?

Your phone isn’t charging.

If that is sunscreen in that bottle then i think you may be a bit optimistic about the weather.

That’s not a phone, it is a fruit bowl so obviously not charging!

Sunny Southampton, home of the rich and famous. Always keep the after-sun handy as you never know which babe is going to ask you to rub some in.

Reasonably stable as long as you don’t fill it totally when it gets a bit top heavy.

Superglue to fix the two parts as it is what I had. Suggestions for better fixing are welcome.

Battery powered fruit bowl?

You must have some serious pampas grass outside.

The stem (top bit of the bottle) will scratch work tops/ table / whatever. Maybe fix something to the base?

You’re nearly out of fruit.

The fruit bowl’s used for car keys obviously

The disapproving box back right needs to be in “Argh, my eye.”

I’ve led such a sheltered life… :-/

Not the best beer I have poured but I thought I would show it being used.

Superglue is not going to be very robust, I can see that coming apart very quickly. Two-pack clear epoxy would be far betterer. The cheap stuff from Wilco or the Pound Shop will do.

That tile a above the bottle and the glass isnt aligned with those either side. I dont know how you live with that everyday…

is that CO alarm within 15′ of a cooking appliance?

The base looks like a rocket engine exhaust.

That idea will never take off.

KaBoom!
