always ready to help a fellow player :)

at start I bought a glass knife & after braking 3 bottle and wasting a lot of water I found a good tutorial on youtube

first you need get your hands on 4 things:

1- high quality mask with filters. its a bit expensive but otherwise you will breath glass dust and a lot!

2- goggels so glass dust wount get in your eyes.

3- power multi-tool for delicate work (its also called dremel) you can find it at home-dipot

4- a set of dimond cutting disks for the dremel. I bought them at ebay:

at last- the video:

I cut a piece of steel tubing off a beach umbrella and it's a pretty good slide. I round the ends with a rock. For maximum mojo, go dumpster diving to get the discarded beach umbrella.
