Glass is tricky to work with as it tends to shatter upon the slightest mistreatment - make sure to wear adequate protection!

Shaping

Use a glass cutter for straight cuts or diamond drill bits to create holes.

A laser cutter is also potentially able to score a break line (please let us know if you've tried it!)

Engraving

A laser cutter and diamond rotary tool bits are suitable for engravings.
