I agree to much. but One part of a cocktail i have always wondered about was the glass top, where are you guys getting this? I can get square glass cut, but round edge (and not window pane thick), this i have no idea on where to get.

For a custom job, this might be an option. I haven't got any practical time using this, but I have purchased one of these for custom glass cutting. They were demoing it at the state fair. I wouldn't have bought it, but the guy let me cut at much as I wanted to test the product out, and I was able to get some smooth curve cuts on thicker and tempered glass. I'd assume you can just make a curve cut to your needs and torch or buff the edges smooth.

Nifty tool, but nothing groundbreaking. It essentially combines two tools used in the trade. The cutter and the breaking pliers. Having the individual tools is actually better, as you can see the cutting wheel more easily.
The secret to cutting glass is pretty simple (I've literally cut tons of the stuff in a previous occupation). A smooth, uninterrupted score (thus the need to oil the wheel), even pressure on the pliers (don't try to snap the glass, just increase pressure until it breaks on it's own) and on a non-straight line, radii which are compatible with the thickness of the material. I.e. curves can be tighter in thinner material. Oh, and a lot of practice.
He should also be wearing gloves :)

and just that quick a ton of answers to something that has stumped me for awhile.

Of course it's not groundbreaking. It's supposed to snap glass into funny shapes, not break ground. You're looking for a "shovel", friend.
