Bottle with threaded lid - John Britt - 2011

Here is a short video showing how I make a multi-piece bottle with a threaded lid. I saw these at an antique shop and they were used as beer bottles or oil cans.

    I did not know that beer was a good source of vitamin D. I'll have to increase my intake. Anything for good health.

    Kyle, that's what I was wondering. Now we need to see him make that!

    I make a lot of lotion pumps using that screw top mold system. I've found it much easier to punch the hole in the screw top while it is still in the mold right after I press the clay in. I use the other end of the tool with a little WD-40 on it to punch the hole. Then let it dry slightly and screw it out of the mold. Seems not to distort them as bad. I keep a lot of the tops made up and bisqued fired. When I glaze my lotion pumps I just set the bisqued collar in the still wet glaze on top of the pump base.


    Thanks

    Is this container able to keep the beer inside? Bubbles are quite aggresive.

    John, you need to make up some old fashioned beer label decals. I have an old copier at work that uses toner with 95% iron oxide. Or so the MSDS says. Some sepia decals would be cool. Just sayin'.
