If you get bored, and have extra bottles lying around, I made up this bottle cutting jig to make some neat glasses from wine and beer bottles.
The jig scores the bottle with a nice straight line. Next you heat the scored area with a hot air gun, the plunge into cold water to part the bottle. It sometimes takes a couple tries. Finish with a diamond stone (harbor freight $14 for three grits).
It does require a little practice, especially the heating of the bottle. It doesnt need to be real hot.
Please be careful.
