Tempermental

About two years ago, we removed our fireplace.
{What, you removed a fireplace?  Why in the world would you do that?}
Yes, we did.  It was ugly.  It was gas.  It took up a lot of space.
So, anyhow, we had a leftover piece of tempered glass from that project.
And now we had a new project that needed some glass and thought we might be able to use that.

Did you know that you can't cut tempered glass?
Well, that's not entirely true. 
We did read that you could heat it to 900*F and then cut it, but aside from setting it on fire on the driveway, I don't think we could make that happen.
In the end, and after reading online for an hour, we decided why not give it a go the traditional way.

Scoring it . . .

Tapping it to try to get it to break . . .

Not working, huh?

Let's try something a little more drastic . . .

Well, so much for that idea . . .
