The Dremel should have worked. I would have used a diamond disc tho. It will pop off and may leave sharper or bulging ends but that can be taken care of with a grinding wheel and/or running it flat over 150 grit sandpaper then 400 grit.

Thanks, Wes! Just got the Dremel, haven't accumulated many extras yet. That should do the trick. I didn't want to apply too much pressure; thus, I didn't use enough!
PS Guess you're a Linux user by your "photo." Which distro?

Take a look at this vid (you can skip the first 5 minutes as he shows you how NOT to cut glass). I have not tried this method, but it looks promising.

pretty cool website, too.
I tried the glass cutter and hot water. My problem was that I didn't have any kind of stabilizing frame or bracket to enable a straight cut around the circumference of the bottle. Still, it seems like a good way to go if you can solve that one problem. Thanks for the link, Craig.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to my enlightenment about glass cutting. I should be slippin' and slidin' soon! Gracias!
