I do something similar, here is my process:

  1. Score glass with http://www.amazon.com/Generation-Green-g2-Bottle-Cutter/dp/B004ZRV3AU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1344673890&sr=8-1&keywords=wine+bottle+cutter

  2. Heat score mark with tea candle.
  3. Use very cold tap water to cool down, wipe excess water off with paper towel (the towel will have tiny shards of glass so don't use a towel you will use again).
  4. Repeat until the glass breaks all the way. If you use very cold water it will break clean about 90% of the time, sometimes glass just does what it wants.
  5. I take the glass and attach it to a drill. I use a thick strip of cardboard across a buffing back-plate. A hole through the center of the cardboard allows you to use the screw that normally attaches the buffing pad.
  6. I wrap the cardboard around the sides of the glass and use a lot of rubber bands to keep it in place. Sounds flimsy, but I've never had the cardboard break on me, just keep it dry.
  7. Buy some diamond sanding pads http://www.amazon.com/3M-6002J-Diamond-Hand-Pads/dp/B004R4KUMI/ref=pd_sim_hi_1 put it in a waterproof plastic container with a low edge.
  8. Wet down the sanding pad with some water, glove up a hand with a disposable glove, hold the glass in place and grind until you have a perfectly flat surface. Now angle to create a smooth outer edge. Prop the pad up on something in the container and use a corner to grind the inner edge.
  9. Polish with Cerium Oxide http://www.amazon.com/CRL-Cerium-Oxide-One-Pound/dp/B000KZWDTG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1344674583&sr=8-1&keywords=cerium+oxide on a wet sponge.

    I started looking at videos like the ones linked on this page and ended up at this process. The tea candle and water method works pretty great, the wet grinding is better as there is no glass dust, the cerium oxide removes all the frosting and makes the glass look very clear.

    I hope this helps you get started if you have the desire.
