Think it is worth trying? Think it will work okay? I have thought about
gathering a bunch of bottles up and just renting a tile saw to do this. My
jig I made with a glass cutter doesn't seem to work. I can score the glass
but I can't get it to break off. This bottle cutter doesn't seem to work
much different than what I built.
