I have a suggestion for how you cut the bottles, try using the edge of a file and score it all the way around, then use your spit or water and snap it. You might also go to a laboratory glass manufacturing place and ask for a piece of tubing or get them to snap and melt the edges for you. tubing is easy to brake one small score, spit and snap. hope that helps. nat Hi, I’m a glass artist, and I thought I’d make a slide for my husband.

Actually, as long as it is like the wine bottle (in the middle of the image) it isn't a problem. The slide on the right in the image, however, was a Sazarac Rye Whiskey bottle. I really liked the thick glass but it had a really large lip. I ended up cutting both ends of that one as an experiment. It looks a bit odd but it has a nice tone.
