This video demonstrates how to create a knife from Coca-Cola bottles. The process begins with the collection of the bottles, which are then rinsed and their labels removed. The bottles are cut into pieces, melted together in an oven, and then shaped into a plate. This plate is used as a template to cut out the shape of the knife, which is then smoothed and sharpened. The knife is tested by cutting vegetables, and despite its thickness, it performs surprisingly well. The end result is a knife made entirely from a Coca-Cola bottle. The video emphasizes the experimental nature of the process, focusing on the method and materials used, rather than the final product.
1. The video demonstrates how to make a knife from Coca-Cola bottles.
2. The process involves removing the packaging and taking out all the bottles.
3. Two bottles with orange lids are used for the process.
4. All the cola is poured into a glass to free the bottles.
5. The bottles are thoroughly rinsed and all labels and rings are removed.
6. The bottles are cut into small pieces and placed on a tray.
7. The pieces are then melted in a regular electric oven at 250 degrees.
8. The melted plastic is poured onto a plate made from the same material.
9. The plate is cut along the lines of a knife shape, clamped in a vice, and cut with a jigsaw.
10. The blade is found to be thick and doubtful if it can cut anything.
11. The blade is ground down on sandpaper but the plastic proves to be very resistant to abrasion.
12. The blade is then processed with a file and special stones for sharpening knives.
13. The knife is found to be able to cut many vegetables, despite its thickness.
14. The video emphasizes that its purpose is not to find a replacement for a regular knife but to experiment with different materials.
