George,

> So what was her method for slicing and dicing the glass?

Could hardly be simpler.  She used a glass cutter to scribe the glass into 
10" long strips 1/2" wide and snapped them against the counter top using a 
pair of flat pliers made for the job.  She then scribed the strips into 
squares and snapped these apart.  She does stained glass lamps for a hobby 
and breaking window glass into squares was extremely easy compared to making 
those complex shapes out of art glass.  She made 200 squares in 15 minutes, 
but even a novice like myself could have done it in a half hour.  A simple 
and practical way to make tiles for a grinding tool.
