in this video we're going to drill a couple of holes through an empty wine bottle so this is a
glass bottle i've put it on a piece of wood and i've clamped it down using a sash clamp
to do the drilling i'm using a jcb diamond tech hole saw so this is a plenty of use
so it may be a bit slow if you're using a brand new one of these obviously it's going
to go through a lot faster i've got a small drill and i've set that to the faster speed
and i've got a tub there with some water in that i'm going to dip the bit in and also it's a good
idea to put on a pair of safety glasses so i'm going to get the bit dip it in the water
and then i need to start this drill bit off about there so i'm going to start it on an angle
once it gets started i'll then straighten up and we'll cut the hole through the glass
i do want this hole to be on a angle downwards
this is only thin glass so i'm not expecting this to take a long time
so that didn't take long at all can now loosen the clamp
i can then mark where i want the other hole to be
and i'm going to do that using a china graph pencil so again i'm going to clamp that down
and obviously you don't want to go mad when you're tightening the clamp up because you don't want to
smash the bottle so i can now start with the second hole
if you find that the hole is a bit on the rough side and you want a smooth
hole you can do that quite easily you just need to get some wet and dry paper
get something to wrap it round this is a smaller diameter drill bit which is about six mil
the holes that i put in there are eight mil can wrap some of this around
you can then wet that and we can then use that
and you can get a nice burr-free smooth finish on the glass
so that's it's very quick and easy to put a couple of holes into a glass bottle it is
very useful if you want to make something a lot of people now do arts and crafts
and being able to do something like that is very useful
