1. Put tape on the BACK side of the plate as well to help reduce chipping as the bit pokes through.
2. Put a small wooden block under the back of the plate so that it is flush with the surface to also help reduce chipping.
Good suggestion!
Just said the same just before reading your comment. Lol
The dog is awesome in this video.
Thanks!
the dog wants to be part of the video...i love the plate design!
Thanks!
i just found a vintage plate set today..im totally gonna make this..thank you for sharing how to do it x
Awesome I hope it works well for you. A few other little tricks I've worked out, I would use tape on the top and bottom of the plate where you drill and make sure to put some cardboard or wood under the plate to support it. you can also use some sort of cutting fluid like oil or water to help lubricate the drill and it will work better.
This pattern is Old Country Roses by Royal Albert! A beautiful set.
Yep! Thanks!
Yes, with gold trim. Hardware should have been gold, not silver.
Thank you it looks easy, I will try older plates first.
Thanks!
Awesome! What a beautiful cake stand, Great job!!!

No need to add water to keep drill bit cool?
Gorgeous
Thank you!
Hi we made jewelry stands using this technique but the bit kept getting dull. Do you have any idea why? The materials were $3 and the bits were $15 and we made three jewelry stands and had to replace the bit each time. Do you have any ideas?
I have run into the same problem. I found using oil or water as a lubricant helps but usually buying the highest quality brand of drill bit possible seems to make the biggest difference.
I'm sooooooo doing this, with my son in law of course.
Thanks for watching! I wish you the best on your project
Thank you awsome 🙂
You're welcome!
Thank you so much.
You're welcome
A carbide drill bit did not work for doing large volume plates. Was fine for the first 3, then we had to change the bit. We then switched to a diamond tip and it made ALL THE DIFFERENCE. Don't waste your time on carbide tips if doing more than one 3-tiered plate. We made 51 tiered plates for a large afternoon tea our farm was hosting. They turned out beautifully once we switched to the diamond drill bit.
Thanks for the tips!
Would you mind sharing where you purchased the hardware? I purchased the first linked on this video but they were cheapy and flimsy:(
Beautiful. Do you need to add water when drilling? I’ve read that somewhere, so was wondering your thoughts?
I've done both with and without. It does seem to drill better using oil or water as a lubricant.
@@MakeStuffNation confused where do you put the water or oil on the plate?
You were the first one that said get a drill bit a bit bigger than the hardware.
Thank you for your support. I wish you luck with your project.
Hi it appears the drill bits are different sizes. And the hardware doesn’t say what size the inserted piece is. ??
The hole size is quite forgiving and can be slightly oversized depending on what glass drilling bits you have available.
How long does it take to drill the hole? I am using China and it is taking more than 10 minutes a plate
The quality of drill bit does make a big difference. Some of the ones I drilled took several minutes. A cutting lubricant such as any type of oil will also help. Heat is the enemy of your drill bits and will ruin them if they get too hot.
It looks like water was put on the smallest plate - it looks creamy?
Yes, you're correct. I forgot to mention it in the video but a little water or oil helps cool the drill bit.
Which drill are you using? Thanks
I got a 1/4" glass and tile bit from a big box home improvement store.
Great
I love your video and I am inspired. Can you let me know if your drill bit is vitrex. 102756 and which hand drill I should buy for it.
Be really grateful.
I used a Bosch brands drill bit but honestly any diamond glass and tile drill bit should work. Also any hand drill should work. If the drill has hammer mode, do not use that. It will break your plates. There are links in the video description to the drill bits I used.
Beautiful....
Thanks for watching
