I use a carbide but STOP before drilling all the way through. Hole still large enough for wires and minimizes the chance of breakage.
That's a good idea, I didn't think about doing that. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for having done this video. I’m working on making some glass mobiles out of old glass jars and this is just what I needed.
When the drill bit finally goes through the bottle it is hard to not hit the bottle with the head of the drill causing a crack or shattering the bottle. I put a RUBBER BAND on the shaft of the drill bit to avoid cracking the bottle.
That's an awesome idea! I like the tips like this that are so easy and effective.
You could drill a hole through a piece of cork to act as a stopper so the drill doesn't hit the glass. This could take the place of the Plastic Piece that you taped to the bottle as well.
Great video! Thank you for sharing!
Using a piece of cork like that is a good idea. Thanks for sharing your idea!
I've found that the cork disintegrates. I've used a short piece of dowel with a hole drilled through it, or even a piece of an eraser.
You could also use a nail and hammer to drill a hole. Dip the glass bottle inside a bowl or basin of water until it is fully submerged and use the nail to drill the hole on the desired spot using the hammer.
Great idea for the spare water bottle coolant love it ..so simple...
I drilled a hole in a piece of wood so that if I lost control and the bit dropped through the drill hit the wood and not the bottle..just an idea that worked for me great video ty
That's a great idea, thanks for sharing the tip!
Thanks, I was successful with drilling through a 1/4" thick High West Distillery 750ml whiskey bottle. I am going to fill it with LEDs and spent 5.56 rounds.
That would look awesome!

Lol totally watching so I can drill into a 40 oz to make a bong
Watching this to make a bong outa a jack Daniels bottle bong
Wow you made a great video it was really helpful and now i can make holes in glass when i wanna thank u sir.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!
very informative and glad I watched before attempting it. Thank you
You're welcome, I'm glad the video was helpful!
Superb. Thanks.
Thank you for the video and for showing all of the different methods. I'm curious if the drill has to be in the 'hammer' setting or if 'regular' is just fine? Thank you again!
That's a good question! Regular setting is what you want 😊
i like it..tq
We all know why we are here
Hell yeah. Many DIY Bongs have been ruined by not knowing the technique

Yes, I want to make small planters out of my baby's old glass food containers
That's an awesome idea!
I'm here for plant pots.
I used an old salsa con queso cheese dip jar for my basil and it doesn't have holes
Wow es hat endlich geklappt das Loch 🕳️ sieht so perfektes aus ich habe das auf eine große Vase probiert vielen Dank 🙏
Can aomwone post pics or a link of acceptable dremel bits for mason jar .5" hole
Here's a link to a set of bits that should work for you. The biggest bit in this set is 1/2 inch. amzn.to/3J4nyj2
Perfect 👌🏻
Thanks!
Thanks
SIMPLY AMAZING!! Thank you so so much. Any HINTS on putting a hinge on a glass bottle? toodles debs from Texas
Do you mean like cutting a bottle and putting a hinge on it like that, or putting a hinge on a complete, uncut bottle?
How Do You? DIY cutting a bottle and same pieces putting a hinge on it. To open n close.
I have a video about cutting bottles, but rather than using that method I would recommend using something like a Dremel with a diamond cutting wheel to cut the bottle. As far as putting a hinge on it, I would recommend drilling the holes for the hinge bolts before cutting the bottle. Hold the hinge in place, mark where the holes are, then drill those places.
How Do You? DIY S W E E T! Thank you Thank you!!! Me will try it.
Can you help me with a name of a specific driller i can buy? Preferably on Amazon. Thank you

How do you smooth the surface of a glass hole?

I've tried drilling a hole in 5 glass bottles and all cracked before i even made a hole, I was using a new 8mm tungsten carbide tip ensuring they were within a flow of water and I didn't apply too much pressure. I don't think I was doing anything wrong by the looks of how you drilled it, could it perhaps have been the glass or the drill bit is too large?
For that size of hole it might be better to use a diamond bit. I think the carbide tipped bits might heat up the glass more, but I'm not completely sure about that. With the bit you have, you could try drilling slower, or even pausing the bit for a few seconds every now and then, while keeping the water flow going. This could help keep the glass from getting too warm. Or it may be the glass. If the glass is thin you can try using less pressure. Sometimes just the weight of the drill is the most pressure you want to use.
Do you think that you can drill a hole in a glass bottle if you have a steady hand and you oil the drill bit and also the spot that you have marked with a black marker before drilling the hole gradually and without a lot of pressure as you have said in your video?
If you use a bit made for glass, yes that should work. Make sure you wear protection from the glass dust from drilling. Also remember, regular drill bits don't work well for glass and will get dull easily.
If I’m drilling into the bottom of a mason jar with a diamond blade, can I just fill the dented bottom of the glass with water and leaving it there instead of having the constant flow through a bottle? The sitting water pools in the mason jar bottom.
Yes, that should work. The important thing is to keep the tip of the bit wet, and also the glass where you're drilling.

Is one able to make a bigger hole one big enough for a electric cord
Yes, you just need a large enough diamond bit.
This is my intent also, to insert an electric cord so I can create a lamp. I had a 2 foot tall glass vase shaped like an urn. The glass was semi-translucent in a lovely pale apricot color with an iridescent cast. I hung a small incandescent night light bulb over the lip of the vase. The trailing cord always annoyed me but the effect was gorgeous. The bulb lit the entire jar with a soft glow like a harvest moon. I broke that vase a long time ago and am on the hunt for another. This time I want to drill a hole for the cord which is what brought me to this video. What I'm wondering is if there is some sort of rubber gasket that can be applied to the rim of the drilled hole. I'm supposing it would help protect the cut glass rim and protect the electric cord from abrasion. Also I'm wondering how far up from the base is the best location to drill. I imagine cutting right at the base is unwise on the hunch that the very bottom edge is a structural weak point in the glass.
There probably is a rubber gasket of some sort that you could find. I would recommend checking out rubber grommets. Or you could fill the hole with hot melt glue. As far as drilling close to the bottom, I'm not aware of that area being weaker. I would recommend practicing on some random bottles to get a feel for it and to see if it is weaker.
Will this work under a running sink?
That's an awesome question! Yes, it would work great under a running sink.
I would avoid an infinite supply of running water when working with electric power tools. Even with the best of care, the drill can slip and you risk electric shock. The small bottle in this video serves as a limited reservoir and provides only a tiny stream of water. Also, the drill is elevated above the work surface. That setup looks a lot safer to me. If the drill slips there is no more than an off chance that it will overturn the catch basin and allow water to connect with the electric juice.
That's a really important point I forgot about. Especially since the plumbing is most likely grounded. Thanks for sharing your observation!
Very good video. I want to drill a hole (2mm) in my parfume bottle do you think it is possible?
It should be possible with the correct bit. I have a different video where I drilled a hole that was maybe 2-3mm in glass. I used a different type of bit and a slightly different process, but here's a link to that video. The description of that video also has a link to the bit that I used (it's a diamond burr) ruclips.net/video/BDAc0ZWjVjs/видео.html
I hope that's helpful!
@@HowDoYouDIY thanks for fast reply, yes, video is helpful!
If the hole is not broken, the oil should be applied to the drill bit.
Turns out my way is better. A cheap drill press, & a sponge to drill through to cool the bit. Also with those Diamond bits you can get diamond dust in your cooling water and when the bit punches through that water can go into the bottle and etch lines into the inside of it. put water in your bottle and a cap on it to prevent this. the diamond dust water will fall into the water in the bottle and be diluted so you can pour it out without etching glass.
I appreciate you sharing your ideas. On the surface, using a sponge like that seems brilliant. Unfortunately, trying it shows some flaws. Using a flow of water has multiple purposes:
1. Flowing water is constantly going into the hole, cooling off the drill bit at the tip, and taking the heat away. Drilling through a wet sponge only does this to a limited amount. It will also keep the heated up water near the bit. Plus the friction of the bit with the sponge will dry out the sponge next to the bit.
2. Flowing water helps clean out the hole as you're drilling. If you use a sponge, the sponge will hold the glass debris at the hole. This will cause the diamond grit on the bit to get clogged and it becomes less effective. This causes more friction, which means more heat. It also wears out the bit a lot faster.
3. Flowing water helps to keep the dust from getting airborne. It's really bad if you're breathing the glass dust. Using a sponge can also be good for this, but comes with the other problems I just mentioned.
If the bit is properly cooled and cleaned while being used, the chipped off diamonds will be minimal and mostly rinsed away before they can get into the bottle. Any diamond bits that do get into the bottle should be small enough and light weight enough to not scratch the glass. But having the bottle filled with water would still be helpful. Having it completely submerged in water could be even better.
What can i do if i want the holr bigger?
If possible it's best to use a bit as close to the size you need, but smaller if it's not exact. Then you should be able to use a sanding drum or diamond grinding attachment with a Dremel. Just make sure you protect your lungs and eyes from the dust that will get into the air, and wear gloves in case the glass shatters.
Hello. I have a Black and Decker 12V drill/screwdriver. I will drilling the holes through glass candle jars that I am repurposing as planter. Is 12V enough power for this? Thanks in advance!
Yes, that should work great!
Thank you!

Do you have any suggestions for the drilling of a 1" hole in the bottom of a bourbon bottle to turn into a lamp? I have done four bottles now and 3 of the bottles got small cracks in the glass towards the end of going through the glass.
I am using a diamond hole saw, 250 RPM, and glass never gets warm touch, due to constant water being applied and only the weight of the drill is being applied.
Any advice would be appreciated.
I've been thinking about this a lot after you posted your question, it's a bit confusing. It's possible that since the bottom of the bottle is thicker, the inside of the glass might be getting a bit hot even though the outside is staying cool. You could try stopping half way thru and filling it with water to cool off the inside.
If you are able to completely submerge the bottle while drilling, that could also help, especially if you can keep it full of water while drilling. Just make sure you get all of the bubbles out.
You could also try slowing down even more, and lifting up some of the weight of the drill towards the end.
I hope this helps 🤞
I seen incense burners made from old whiskey and wine bottles with a hole in the bottom. My question is does the hole have to be in a specific place at the bottom does anybody know🤥
مو لدرجة ثقب الزجاج في البرغي شكو 😂
Use tape is what I’ve read when using carbide tips
Yes, that helps keep the tip of the bit from sliding around before the hole gets started. Thanks for sharing!

We're here make a bong
Has the bottle ever shattered?
Good question. I haven't had any shatter. When I was practicing I did have some break big holes.
How Do You? DIY Thanks for responding I was a little bit nervous but ima definitely try this for diys now!
That's awesome! I recommend practicing a few times to get the hang of it. But it's very easy when you get the hang it.
Tape the drill bit

How to make a tiny tiny hole in THIIICK glass?
That's a really good question. Tiny holes are a bit tricky, just because on the drill bit sizes. Glass thickness shouldn't affect the method much. You could use this same method, but with a diamond burr bit instead of diamond drill bit. Something like this: amzn.to/2V72Zu2
It just depends on if you can find a bit small enough for the hole size you need.
I thought the bottle crack.But it just my screen..lol
I'm doing a project where I need to cut a bottle in half and drill 2x 10mm holes in it - which should you do first?
It should work either way. For that size of hole, I would probably still the holes first though. I would definitely try it on a practice bottle first, just to make sure you don't ruin your final bottle.
I thought this was forest gump
