Cutting Base
by Mona McClendon
(Springville, AL)
I bought a panel of plastic grid that usually goes over a drop-ceiling light fixture and use it to lay my glass on when I'm cutting. Any small slivers of glass go down into the squares and don't slow up my cutting process by having to sweep them away before laying down another piece of glass to cut. When I've cut everything that I'm going to, I lift the plastic grid and sweep up all the bits of glass.
