a piece of glass, folded newspaper, a large hammer, and a concrete garage floor come to mind.

What I do to make frit is put my glass in the oven at 550 F, leave it a bit, and throw it into a metal pot of cold water. Sometimes it can use a little further breaking up but it's a cinch at that point. Search the archives for making frit if you are inclined to make your own in this pinch, there are all sorts of clever methods.

sounds like you're going to get what you need, but FYI, the coffee grinder does work pretty well.
