I once read that if you put some boiling water in a bottle, to the level you want the bottle broken at, then put that into a bowl with icy water, it will break at that point. Cheaper, but a lot more dangerous if it goes wrong. | ||

Sterillizing a demi jon last week i poured in some boiling water and the bottom cracked off perfectly! Atouch big for a wine glass,even for me, so i thought it would make a good cloche! |

I've got a cloche made that way, also accidental, but its a great cloche. Wouldnt mind some more like it

That looks really good, and there are some interesting things further down the page as well. | ||

A bit pricy I've seen other versions half the price. A good idea though. | ||

Sounds much safer than how I was told to do it - pour in petrol to the point you want it to break, then stick a hot poker into the bottle  
Needless to say, I didn't try it! |

Bottle Cutter KitI got a bottle cutter kit from Creative Glass Guild in Bristol, its great!! I am now chopping up my wine bottles as soon as they are empty...this is happening slightly quicker than it used to!I make stained glass so use the offcuts to make a mosaic and stick on to the bottle after i cut it to make bright candle holders etc. This is the cutter i got: https://www.creativeglassguild.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=45_596&products_id=2378 Its pretty sturdy and i find it easy to use, hope it helps someone else too!!!
