Preview thumbnail for PSA: I posted a pic of a bottle cut to share some nerdy enthusiasm- got a bunch of comments that I was about to cut my leg. It was not an overhead diagonal cut. Here is a still showing the end of the cut- maximum rotation. Thanks for the concern and point taken, but I’m ok. image
