Description
This afternoon when my cousin was recycling a glass water bottle, 🚰
it occurred to me that I haven't recorded my desire to build a **Glass Bottle Wall** anywhere ... 💭
This Pinterest collection is a good source of inspiration if you've never seen a Bottle Wall before:

There are _hundreds_ of _curated_ pictures in this collection,

It could be worth creating our _own_ JIG and using a glass cutting grinder disk instead:

This machine has a turntable and a cutting disk:
If we have to cut let's say 50 bottles to size, then buying a €140 machine "pays for itself" in the _first_ project.
