[Lab] Glass Cutting

[Darcy Whyte]

The hobby CO2 lasers can engrave glass but I don't think cutting will work
unless you want to run it for a couple days. :)

I happen to have a glass cutter (which I've never used). I may have a
couple of them. You are welcome to borrow.

I'm at the library today making rubber band planes. Feel free to pop by
centerpoint if you want to borrow. But let me know so I remember to bring
it (them).
