They look nice, the one with cross would look very nice if it was on red glass.

Sunny, It is always a good idea to wear a mask. I keep all of the surfaces wet, I run a small stream of water across the edge of the glass and the surface of the sander. Don’t go too nuts with the water or you will electrocute yourself

During the sanding process how do you prevent inhaling a bunch of glass?

Samantha, I totally agree, sadly I don’t have access to a kiln.

I’m jealous of your amazing cutting-in-a-straight-line skills! Sadly, I have quite the collection of sad, lopsided glasses.

If you have access to a small kiln (or even medium size) I’ve found “fire polishing” the cut bottle rounds the lip and makes it better for drinking out of than using the grit, but that certainly isn’t as DIY as the grit since most people will not have access to a kiln.
