I dind a dremel works great on cutting into glass floats...just sink in a few pilot holes with a straight dremel drill bit to relieve pressure, then use a cutting wheel....puffer fish I've done the same way...just make sure you wear a mask...there is some odious dust flying offa blowfish hide...I recently went down to a local lamp store...lo and behold...perfect glass orbs with three inch diameter openings, both clear and frosted...diameters from 12 to 36 inches...so they are out there...just look for a local lamp store that specializes in vintage replacement parts....they'll even make a lamp for you...whatever color and netting you want...if you feel so inclined to let someone wlse do it for you...Good luck, Grey
