[TheForge] Glass "funnel"

[Roger R Degner]

Anyone need instruction on using the forge to cut the bottle
If so this is what Bill Roan showed at a recent conference

Take a piece of 1/2" round stock bend it in a circle just larger than
the bottle leaving a handle on the circle.
Decide where on the bottle you want to cut it and using brick or
something nonflammable build up two places on the anvil to rest the
steel circle.
Heat the circle red hot
Place circle over the bottle
Turn the bottle so the hot steel touches glass all the way around a time
or two.
Dunk the bottle in cold water and you should hear it break leaving you
with two pieces.

Why Bruce you're absolutely right!

No wonder you enjoy research so much, I'll have to take a Shot at it
myself.
