Hawkdancer:
Sounds like Jeff has the safest idea :KN. I think I will try both methods as well as scoring with my glass cutter and tapping with a small mallet.  Always jump with 2 parachutes and land only 1 time!  Spent 16 years in Special Forces.  Safety first
Thanks, Hawkdancer

JEB:
My dad made wine. When he died he left us 3 cases of wine but none of us drank so I emptied the bottles on the ground and I broke the bottoms out of every one of them without incident. Youtube has a female flintknapper that shows you how to do it. It's really not a big deal and the bottles won't blow up on you, the bottom just dropped to the ground.

bjrogg:
Like Jeb said the nail method works good. Usually only have to shake about 5 times and bottom pops right off.
