A wee trick for cutting the bottoms off bottles cleanly: an inch of oil in the bottom of the bottle, heat a steel rebar, dip it into the oil, repeat until the oil gets hot. Eventually it will break cleanly at the top level of the oil.

Perfect for making glass fuel bowls for obsolete machinery.
(How did I learn this trick? Don't ask!

Some mistakes are too much fun to be made only once.
I don't know everything about anything, and I don't know anything about lots of things.
