Well I was wondering what tools people use to cut the tops off of beer bottles so they can use them for slides. I imagine it's fairly easy for you handy guys. My guess is like a saw or something of that nature? I was thinking it might have to be one a them power sanding saws that uses the sandpaper saw or what not to cut things. My old neighbor was a carpenter and I seen him use one a those. I imagine that would be the type of thing that could cut it off smoothly without making a big mess or hightened risk of personal injury since they don't use seraded edges like wood saws. If so I'd have to find a friend with one..I'm sure I could though. If not I suppose I could try and find a place where I could buy one..maybe one made of metal with foam inside it or something. I don't wanna just break the bottle though cause I couldn't guarantee myself I could smooth it out so it wouldn't have jagged areas that could cut..plus it would look sloppy. Well I guess thats it....this is kind of a stupid post too but...eh...what the hell right?

Asta!!
