I was inspired by badmojo and this thread to make a lamp for my bar from a decorative Pisco Capel bottle I had picked up from the local liquor store. Here are some photos:

Where does one find those bottles? Sounds like one hell of a drink and also a great project to tackle. |

Thanks everyone for the compliments-- its high praise indeed considering the quality work turned out by the posters. Tiki-Toa, I’m not sure where you’re at, but my bottle came from Hi Time Wine Cellars in Costa Mesa, California, which is one of the best liquor stores around as far as I’m concerned. I’ve only shopped there in person, but it looks like you can order through there website. I’m 90% (not 100%) sure that this is the right item. From now on, I’ll be sure to raise a toast to TC’ers everywhere whenever I light my Moai drinking lamp. BTW, I should add a special thanks to Mr. Teitelbaum for his Pisco Sour recipe. It made it a lot easier to get through that whole bottle of Pisco. Whatever the flavor merits of Pisco are, there were a couple times, after 2 or 3 drinks, when I swear that bottle was talking to me. |

Thanks MakeMake, took a look and the bad part was that they do not show a picture of what they are selling. Was/is your bottle a 750ml? I may order it just as a whim, if it is not the right bottle maybe I can return it. Mahalo again. |

Tiki-Toa-- yes my bottle is a 750ml bottle. Everything included in the description on the Hi-Time site matches my bottle. (Hi Time carries lots of different "Piscos".) |

Awesome lamp!!! Tastefully done. It totally looks store-bought. I have a feeling these may soon be out of stock at High-Time due to this thread;) Thanks for the link! |

What kind of drill bit did you use to drill the hole for the cord? Wanting to try a similar lamp, but worried about cracking the glass. Matty |

Awesome lamp man. I wanna go raid the grog stores right now and start drinking. Actually, that might not be your lamp speaking, but my alcoholic tendencies... Very cool |

HA! I made one of these, earlier this year. I found one of those bottles at Hi Time and just couldn't resist. I was going to buy some good rum, but just had to get the moai bottle. |

It's called Pisco Capel. I think you can get it from Hi Time at this link http://www.hitimewine.net/istar.asp?a=6&id=162500&csurl=/iStar.asp?a%3D29 |

Can anyone tell me how to drill a hole in a glass bottle without cracking it? What kind of drill bit do I need? Thanks for any advice in advance, I want to make a rum bottle lamp. |
