I know how to cut glass. There's no problems with that. The problem is
you can't score and break 1/2" thick glass. You need to actually -cut-
it, and I don't know what special blades or tools you need for it.


Oh yes you can :-) - it has to be scored just so, and doing small pieces
is really tricky, but it will work. I must admit I've never succeeded
with anything over 6mm 2nd hand, but I've watched it being done on 15mm
new glass, and up to 10mm 2nd hand.

You can saw it with a diamond saw, but you would never get it square with
the sort of eqipment available to the average person.
