Before drilling the hole, cover the area with masking tape. This helps prevent chipping and should the glass break, it sticks to the tape rather than flying everywhere. This tip curtesy of Mister Natural.
I use an orange plastic bucket hung from the ceiling as a cistern, with a hole in the bottom through which I have thin plastic tubing coming down through an adjustable valve to increase/decrease water flow. The end section of the tubing I wrap around some flexible metal, like a straightened, wire coat hanger, which I can then bend and adjust to position towards wherever I'm drilling so I don't have to hold it with my hands. It works incredibly well, and cost me about $7 to make with supplies from home depot. Also, I can put ice cubes in the water to keep it even colder, which isn't really possible with an empty plastic soda bottle, because the opening at the top is too small to fit them through. However, I was so impressed with this method for it's will-do-in-a-pinch convenience.
Finally someone who knows to get to the point of the video. No useless preamble or fluff. Explain, show and go. Oh and great video. Need to cut some holes in some glass and may order these bits soon.
He doesn't use the pickle to a drill a hole he uses a pickle to scare the glass out of a specific spot which in turn produces a hole. I thought everybody knows that cats are afraid of cucumbers and glass is afraid of pickles, C' mon man!!!

@@chrisnotap LOVE ❤️THIS TUTORIAL....even grandma's get it!! The idea of the pop bottle as the source of water is GENIIUS & cheap ♥️THX SO MUCH!! CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH THE REST OF YOUR VIDEOS🙏😎💋
Instead of making several jigs, one for each size hole/bit you can simply stick a piece of masking tape over the area you want the hole. Then place the diamond-coated drill bit/hole cutter on a slight angle and begin drilling until you've created a slight half-moon groove in the glass. Then gradually level your angle until you're straight up an down and then continue till you're through. The tape assists in keeping the bit from skipping all over the glass and is less involved than building a jig...really handy when you can't or don't have the time/space to build and store multiple jigs. Anyhew, just a little trick I learned along my way. 😊😉 Thanks for posting your video...I wasn't sure if I could use the same bits for ceramic tile, now I know. I especially liked your water bottle trick! Awesome idea!!! 😋
Mark Twain said; "Give a man a hammer and he is bound to find something that needs hammering". So logic dictates that in this household everything will have holes in it!
@@chrisnotap it's iddiotic video. I thought you have somekind of trick.. But in reality it is advertisement. Buy a tool specific for that... WOOOW What a miricle.
@@MilanTheMan69 It wasn't just using the specific drill bit. He showed the use of water to keep the bit cool to avoid cracking, slowly making a circular motion while drilling to avoid cracks near the drill site, setting up a template to use to start your hole, as well demonstrating how all of this works for a variety of materials.
I did this to a black coffee mug from the break-room. Colored the exposed white edges with a Sharpie, and let the fun ensue. I found it in the trash and coffee everywhere. AH!
You can also fill the hole saw with ice, it’s less messy. Put a piece of sticky tape on the back side of what you’re drilling and you will get less fraying around the edge of the hole on the back side.
Lol, this guy reminds me of my dad. "Hey a found a cool new tool that drills holes in glass!", precedes to cut holes into everything made of glass in the house.
This a wonderful and well demonstrated video, I always broke the glass when I attempted to cut a hole in it. Thank you so much for this technique and your well done demonstration .
@@smoothlyrough512 Yes it did. He mentions it in the video. TheNYgolfer is right. Just go slow and with as little movement as possible to get the cleanest cut.
Thank you. I am trying to make an air filter using a mason jar as a small filter for activated charcoal and your idea of the drill hole piece of wood jig is exactly what I was missing. Much appreciated!

Thank you so much. I have saved some beautiful bottles that I wanted to make into lamps, but I didn't know how to drill the holes to run the lamp wire, until watching, and listening to your video. Thank you again. The comments on using a water bottle with a tiny hole in it that will continue to spray water as you drill were also important to not inhaling the glass powder.

This was very enlightening. I have used the standard "Glass Cutting" bits in the past with unpredictable results. Thumbs up for the fast, efficient and highly effective info!
One of the best videos ever. No garbage throughout. Point, blank, period. This is how you do it. Awesome,,, KEEP UP THE GREAT SAME VIDEOS. Thank you so much!!!
Subscribed. This video gets down to business. It doesn't waste time. It gets straight to the point. Thank you for respecting my time as a viewer. I'm excited to go through your videos now and see a bunch of cool stuff!
I've had one of those harbor freight diamond hole drill sets for a couple years, never used them, but i will now. The water bottle trick is great also. Thanks for the great vid.
MichaelKingsfordGray that’s not a negative comment, but instructions on how to achieve better results in your process. I have 25 years in the flat glass industry. I do know what I’m doing.
Love it...in fact, I ordered those Hole Cutters a few years back, have moved since and now I’ll have to go find them. I’m saving this video for future reference, Thank You!
+ Toasted Fan Art They are cheap because they are made very poorly. Low quality materials and terrible quality control. But if you only need to cut a few holes then they will be fine.
There were two things you did which caused the jagged edges and the breakout. 1. Go slow, you don't need to rock, rocking puts the bit at odd angles and causes it to catch and create a non-circular hole. 2. Stop pressing. Let the drill cut. When you are pressing down as you get to the final bit of glass you are not cutting, you are breaking, since you are breaking it out it looks jagged instead of cut. But I love those drill bits. They work well for how cheap they are.
I had the same kind of bits, none of them were "square" to the stem, so they wobbled, I was never able to get them or the pointed glass drills to drill more than one hole in a piece of window glass without it causing a crack or breaking the glass.
was going to say as well, its what professionals do.flip it if you are using hand tools. bigger companies have a machine that drills the hole from both sides at the same time. ofc you cant do this with bottles but it does make it easier on panels.
I doubt if you will even see this comment, but I love the creativity of the intro, the slow wood drilling ASMR and numerous examples with expected cutting times. So informative and fun in such a short video! Subscribed just to say thank you :)
Agreed ahahah came here cus the thumbnail... I was thinking he used the pickle to drill thru but didnt know how that could work Edit: pickle as a sub for water not the drill lol
Thank you so much!! I've been researching the best ways to drill through surfaces like glass, ceramics, and porcelain -- your video has been the most informative by far! Thank you for sharing your tip on creating a steady stream of water -- brilliant! Also, I greatly enjoyed your video. Not only was it informative, but it was well thought out and well made.
WOW, what great and informative video. I've been wanting to cut a colored jar or bottle to put my LED fairy lights into for a night light. Problem solved, ordering the bits tonight.....many thanks.
Thanks for the tutorial! Hoping to make my own canning jar-style wall sconce lights. I've gathered that the jars must be ventilated to allow heat from the bulb to escape, hence my finding your helpful video. Really appreciate your extra notations throughout the video , and overall concise instruction.
Wow! THANK YOUUUU! I have a glass grinder and my smallest bits sit up above the water level, so I always dip a soft tooth brush in water and touch it to the bit. This plastic water bottle trick is game changing!!
Neat! I used a similar method and a slightly more expensive bit to drill holes in granite counter-tops for faucet installation back when that was my nine to five. I like the soda bottle trick. We used to just stop and dribble more water in every five seconds or so.
Thank you very much for this video. I never would have thought of the pop bottle idea and you've simplified what other videos I've seen make look complicated. Seeing this used on multiple kinds of objects was inspiring. I have so many ideas of things I can make now. :)
I'm very glad that I came across this video! added it to my Repair folder. Don't need this now but I have more knowledge now than I did 5 minutes ago. Thanks!

Before drilling the hole, cover the area with masking tape. This helps prevent chipping and should the glass break, it sticks to the tape rather than flying everywhere. This tip curtesy of Mister Natural.
Electrical tape is best imo
Won't prevent glass from chipping
"Twas Ever Thus." Mr. Natural?
@Derek Hitt What is the wax for?
After covering the area with masking tape do you still gotta keep it wet? I’m thinking the water is going to prevent the masking tape from sticking
Many bongs were built that day
Jasmin Avdic What's your point?
Lol 😁
Bot bottles everywhere.... Tinny rocks cry..
whats the technology and the fluid dynamics behind the bong?
HI a bong is an water filed aid to cool the smoking of illegal substances.A bit like the Turkish Hubbly Bubbly.

So anyway, I kept drilling and kept drilling...
And when she uses the vase...

MichaelKingsfordGray that’s not a negative comment, but instructions on how to achieve better results in your process. I have 25 years in the flat glass industry. I do know what I’m doing.
I agree. The rocking causes the chipped edge. I use frog tape like you would on the reverse side of wood to stop splintering.
@@johnnyk481 I have 0 days in any glass industry and I can tell rocking the bit is idiotic if you want a clean hole.
post links to ya'll's videos ...
i have 26 years in flat glass industry and i say he can do what he wants
You can put tape on glass where your cutting and that will stop the chipping. Great idea with the water bottle!! THANKS😘
I made a second video cutting holes with even more tips and tricks!! Here it is ..... ua-cam.com/video/zXWU8NniM3I/v-deo.html
Thanks!
Thank you very much for that!!
THIS is what UA-cam was made for!!!
Agave Bob No it wasn't.
Love it...in fact, I ordered those Hole Cutters a few years back, have moved since and now I’ll have to go find them. I’m saving this video for future reference, Thank You!
I love how cheap little drill bits and stuff have gotten. I got a set of 110 Dremil bits for 10 bucks recently on ebay, can't go wrong with that.

They are cheap because they are made very poorly. Low quality materials and terrible quality control. But if you only need to cut a few holes then they will be fine.
Man, what a glass hole.
What did you call me?
Chris Notap I think he means you have a very nice glass hole. 😁
@powerpc127 and chris notap: great banter. plus i agree with maurice and joe
Too many glass holes here.
What can i do with the coffee mug after I drilled the hole?
There were two things you did which caused the jagged edges and the breakout.
1. Go slow, you don't need to rock, rocking puts the bit at odd angles and causes it to catch and create a non-circular hole.
2. Stop pressing. Let the drill cut. When you are pressing down as you get to the final bit of glass you are not cutting, you are breaking, since you are breaking it out it looks jagged instead of cut.
But I love those drill bits. They work well for how cheap they are.
Yes. All good points.
I had the same kind of bits, none of them were "square" to the stem, so they wobbled, I was never able to get them or the pointed glass drills to drill more than one hole in a piece of window glass without it causing a crack or breaking the glass.
To prevent the shelling on one side, start the hole then flip and go from the other side
was going to say as well, its what professionals do.flip it if you are using hand tools.
bigger companies have a machine that drills the hole from both sides at the same time.
ofc you cant do this with bottles but it does make it easier on panels.
I can see that working extremely well drilling into a side of a bottle! :D
Well made video. Has all the info you want and edited well. Nice job.

I doubt if you will even see this comment, but I love the creativity of the intro, the slow wood drilling ASMR and numerous examples with expected cutting times. So informative and fun in such a short video! Subscribed just to say thank you :)
I read all of my comments! Thanks for what you said! Welcome aboard.
For cleaner cut, put a masking tape on the spot before starting to drill.
Been doing this for all sorts of surfaces. Much cleaner 🙏🏼
The only serious and useful comment in the comment section.
Won't that interfere with heat dispersal?
MAsking tape ont he exit side as well will reduce microchipping. Clean cut
@@ulysses_grant you're right sometimes I read the comments and think about how advanced we haven't become.
Worth a thumbs up just for the plastic bottle water dispenser.
The plastic bottle trick is better than drilling the glass.
Agreed ahahah came here cus the thumbnail... I was thinking he used the pickle to drill thru but didnt know how that could work
Edit: pickle as a sub for water not the drill lol
I agree, why do I want to drill a hole in any glass?
DANKdaHERBALIST you never know here on UA-cam what you will see!
I think the water bottle idea probably could be used for drilling in steel. Just substitute a thin cutting oil for water.
It also works nicely for wet sanding surfaces, too! Just add more holes and a bigger bottle.
Iv litterally been looking all over for how to use these. Thank you so much
Can i cut one slightly bigger? My cucumbers a little thicker
No bragging please! Some of us are more normal mortals who can only wish we had cucumbers rather than the gherkins we actually have.........

Mmmmmmh cucumbers 😋🍻😳
Thank you so much!! I've been researching the best ways to drill through surfaces like glass, ceramics, and porcelain -- your video has been the most informative by far! Thank you for sharing your tip on creating a steady stream of water -- brilliant! Also, I greatly enjoyed your video. Not only was it informative, but it was well thought out and well made.
Thanks so much for that great feedback and the kudos.

Was wondering how to cut holes in marble tile at home for a while, finally my answers are here. Thanks, you are the man!!!
Glad I could help!
I have these bits for my Dremel. They're awesome. You can even cut in at an angle. That 2liter bottle method is genius. Thank you!
Yea I never thought of using a bottle of water to run water on it like that
I've burn up so many bits
Thanks !!!
WOW, what great and informative video. I've been wanting to cut a colored jar or bottle to put my LED fairy lights into for a night light. Problem solved, ordering the bits tonight.....many thanks.
Thanks for the tutorial! Hoping to make my own canning jar-style wall sconce lights. I've gathered that the jars must be ventilated to allow heat from the bulb to escape, hence my finding your helpful video. Really appreciate your extra notations throughout the video , and overall concise instruction.
How about just really cool bulbs? LED?
Wow! THANK YOUUUU! I have a glass grinder and my smallest bits sit up above the water level, so I always dip a soft tooth brush in water and touch it to the bit. This plastic water bottle trick is game changing!!
I thought I knew everything worth knowing about drills. But I learned new tricks today. Thank you for sharing new knowledge with us. [shake]
think someones going to be mad when all the glasses and mugs in your kitchen have holes in them because you got too excited with your new bits;)
shonuffisthemaster lol
That's what you call a never ending coffee mug.
Some people make holes in coffee mugs,vases and more to create a great flower pot.No one gets mad about it.
at least there's a strong reason to replace those old glasses and mugs in the kitchen LOL

Neat! I used a similar method and a slightly more expensive bit to drill holes in granite counter-tops for faucet installation back when that was my nine to five. I like the soda bottle trick. We used to just stop and dribble more water in every five seconds or so.
You have no idea how much I appreciated your video!!! Thank you!!!🙂
You’re very welcome. Glad it helped.
Thank you very much for this video. I never would have thought of the pop bottle idea and you've simplified what other videos I've seen make look complicated. Seeing this used on multiple kinds of objects was inspiring. I have so many ideas of things I can make now. :)
I will be doing another video in the near future cutting more things. Stay tuned.
Wife: Chris, what happened to my mirror?
You: Glass termites!
Glermites
No Chris you can't borrow a glass off of me again everytime you return them there's a hole in it.
I'm very glad that I came across this video! added it to my Repair folder. Don't need this now but I have more knowledge now than I did 5 minutes ago. Thanks!
i want to drill some drainage holes into glass jars for my plants and this is EXACTLY the video i needed. Thank you so much!!
