Default Crafts from recycled glass

I have experience in a number of different handcrafts. *Glass work is my

I have a hand held propane torch, various files and other standard household
tools, plus jewelry pliers.

At the moment I am attempting to turn wine bottle into drinking mugs. *I am

Anyone that could help me?


You could buy a bottle cutter but you won't be able to get a really
