Here are my cutting tools and lots of glass pieces all over the place. The plastic waffle surface is available at most hardware stores. The ruler helps me use the cutters to cut a straight line (some times); the breakers in the middle break the glass; I use the nippers for smaller pieces of glass; and the needle nose pliers come in handy when I’ve goofed something up and need to pull glued pieces of glass apart before fusing.
