In my homeland, Galicia, if you ask for a shot of liquor after a meal, they’ll usually bring out a bottle like this. When I first saw that I was about 10 years old, and immediately got to work trying to figure out the trick so that I could do it myself.
In this case I used a bottle of Jack Daniels, whose dimensions and shapes are perfect for this, although other kinds of bottles will do. The wood should be odorless and tasteless, to avoid spoiling the liquor or whatever is in the bottle.
It’s better to use a light wood, such as spruce or pine, since they’re easier to bend; and not use glue, to avoid contamination. As you can see in the video, we just need to boil the ladder for ten minutes to easily fold it and also sterilize for later use.
Ladder Dimensions: 140x50mm
Stringers: 140x8x4mm
Rungs: 50x4mm (diameter)
Fun project! So why do you fill the bottle up again at the end? Why not just leave the bottle empty so that the ladder rattles around in there?
thanks mate! you can do both
