When starting the hole, angle the drill to the side to start the cut. as you get some septhy, start to straighten up the drill bit perpendicluar to the bottle face. Run your drill bit slow through the whole process and do not push on the drill. Let the diamonds do the work. Keep it wet as you did! At the end slow down even more. When toward the end too much pressure will stress crack the glass and you will get a blow out or crack like you did. Takes some some practice! Good job for the first time!
5 volts is plenty to drive some LED's. Many lightbulbs these days are converted to that lower voltage range inside. That makes the wiring, kits and whatnot for 110/230 "directly" some overkill and more expensive. I don't care, if you want it that way. Just saying.

Wonderfully explained video! Thank you!!!
Great job I'm going to try
very cool pop!
Thanks! 😉
Very helpful thanks
Very nice! Can you link to the lamp shade you used?
Great vid man
Thank you!
Nice lamp son
Thanks! 😃
You should tie a knot in the wire inside the bottle near the hole. This will stop the wire being pulled and strain put on your connectors.
Good idea
NICE
Nice video. Have you had any issues with it being top heavy or wanting to tip over?
Thanks! No issues with it being top heavy but any bigger shade and it probably would.
@@norootsnoproblem Thanks for replying, I've been wanting to try this but have been hesitant. Your video says I can do it. Thank you very much!
Not bad work though may I ask have you ever tried putting some led lights then putting in some resin if so did it work

Fill the bottle with water then drill it
