Drilling a hole through glass

[demonxthedk]

HEADPHONE USERS BEWARE MY EARS ARE LITERALLY BLEEDING!

[Pieroowned]

Velle if you have an electric drill, and I see you use water... If I use water can that cause any risk of me getting electrocuted?

[hitandru]

Well I'm making a Steam Roller. Haha

[zigcom42]

Bong here too

[Slackinger]

Just bought a 1.5 foot tall glass vase from Walmart for $12 that gets narrower at the top all I need is a drill and a bowl and I have a 150 dollar piece thanks for the help

[intheshitter]

I tried drilling a hole in some glass and it shattered :(

[Kayasaurz]

how long did you practice for that.. ?

[zombierehab]

I got this sick vase I'm tryin to make a bong out of

[SoundConnect]

How thick was the glass?

[rottysteve]

Try it on Hammer action.......Its much quicker.

[ReeferDave]

thanks i got my hole done - after watching your vid a few times - cheers

[ReeferDave]

did you get any chips in the inside surface - rocking the drill like that ?

[vellefromhell67]

@ReeferDave There were a few very small, shallow ones that werent of any concern. Once the bulkheads are tighted, there shouldnt be any structural weakness :)

[feedthemachine99]

@ReeferDave

So the sides of the tank are not tempered?

I want to try and drill the sides of mine,but i want to drill a much larger hole,8 inches or larger,is that possible?

[ReeferDave]

@feedthemachine99 no m8 the side should not be tempered - i have even drilled the base of a juwel tank and they say some are tempered - (it was an old one though) - if it tempered it will shatter like a car windscreen and then its new tank time.

[TheSklazio]

@ReeferDave could u drill into a liquor bottle?

[enterthafatass]

@TheSklazio Trying to make a bong right?

[ReeferDave]

i would be practicing a few times before doing my tank :-)

I like your method of running water on the glass - i will be deffo doing that .

but i would put tape underneath to catch the cut out bit when i do it.

[vellefromhell67]

@ReeferDave Yeah tape works, for the next few holes I did, I just placed a rag inside the tank so that the cut out fell onto the rag :)

[333kingston]

@ReeferDave whats the running water for?

[dswrain]

will the same drill bit work for ceramics?

[vellefromhell67]

@dswrain I have no idea

[javajack]

@vellefromhell67 A diamond core drill will work on ceramics, too-

[goldenguy14]

@dswrain You cant really go through ceramic perfect. It has to be made right after taken out of the mold. Just cut a hole through the slack.

[javajack]

@dswrain - A diamond core drill or tools will work on ceramics, too-

[oztronix]

Water removes surface resonances...

And also prevents the dust to lift off...

So it wont go awry when cutting it...

[xixi083]

decapeu thermique + eau

[lockguy101]

Bong here too. I'm making mine out of an Absolute bottle. I can't wait to do it but i'm kind of scared to drill the hole in case i mess up

[370H773H]

haha wanted to make a bong too

its a glass beaker a jacked from my science class lol

[thatssbuttery]

@370H773H lol word yo i jacked a beaker from my science class too but this video doesnt help....

[dmanjohnson13]

no true pot head is complete without a good fish tank to stare at after a bong rip!

[GuthanBlitz]

@dmanjohnson13 Lmao

[joexski]

bong here as well, its this sick tommy gun bottle

[TheLordlt7]

bong here too. guna make mine out of an old lava lamp.. . should be pretty sweet

[wickedpuppy]

gowing to be making my bong today

mmfwcl

[felix200100]

im makin mine today, but this isnt helpin a lot, can u help?

[growguyuk]

not gonna make a bong---gonna fix one lol

double perc(china glass) with broken perc-gponna drill in to remove the broken bits so i can use it properly again, Ill justuse a rubber bing in the hole..better than not having the perc at all.

So thanks for this helpful vid--even if you didnt intend it to be uised for nefarious purposes like 99.9 percent of us whove viewed ur vid will/are/did lol

[ITSJUSTIN123123123]

i made a bong outta a jack daniels bottle best bong ive ever made/had

[maslabud]

wow i just went out and bought my own bong instead of making one and now i am learning how to customize my fish tank

[ChileanRoseMad]

guilty :P

[liljwill7]

i wanted to make a bong 2!!! B) yeaa

[guitargodnick1993]

bong here too lolol.

[twistydark]

Bong! xD

[jacobc999]

Bong makin here too!

-Vancouver-

[Kevnnnthemetalhead]

everyones here tryin to make bongs. including me!!!

[JARABIN9]

IM MAKING A BONG TOO!!XD

[yipdog]

haha so true man, my reason exactly haha

[TwoThirdsPi]

Stealthy.

[anthonymovies4]

are u going to put the white tubes in your hole from this video dude?

[vellefromhell67]

what white tubes? are you talkin about pvc?

[gilgemesh1205]

Could i do this with a bottle??

[fudge1monkey]

your making a bong arent you gilgemesh1205?

[gilgemesh1205]

Are you?

[fudge1monkey]

i think a large amount of people are trying to make holes in a bottle of some kind for an epic bong. admittedly it is why i looked this up. hold the bottle, submerged under cool water, then get a diamond tipped drill and drill very slowly. once a hole is made you can sand paper it smooth, or slightly larger.

[gilgemesh1205]

lol you caught me XD

[alcahaxed]

Who would watch a video like this, without any intention of making a bong?

[fudge1monkey]

well.. people... that like to cut holes in glass? or.... someone making their own fish tank! ... yeah ok most people would but still!

[mfcds]

Is it possible to make a hole on a vertical glass? They tried that with myth busters, but I'm sure you are doing it in a different way.

[xoXirreplaceableXox]

me to

[vellefromhell67]

hahaha you all crack me up. stoners are such industrious people.

[noato6]

Thank you!

[Aethinus]

It's funny, everyone who goes here, does it for their bongs. lol same here

[notrealy180217]

so...does this thing work for making bongs or what?

[nordicuni420]

haha, that's what I'm looking for too.

[vellefromhell67]

I guess you can try, I dont know how well it would work on curved glass. But maybe can smoke out of a 1 gallon tank hahah

[shellmeepoo]

sooo... is a diamond drill bit absolutely required for drilling through glass?

i'm on a limited budget here, hence the reason why i need this video

[vellefromhell67]

As far as I know, yes a diamond-bit holesaw is absolutely required. They're cheap though, usually around $15 on ebay. If you try to use a holesaw made for drilling through wood or metal, you'll instantly shatter the glass.

[NeoOne110]

ive used those carbide bits and they do work.the problem is it takes to long and the hole isnt round enough.

[brittfraz]

funny me too

[sfatpaintballer]

ME too have a wine bottle for a...classy bong haha

[justwnnaride]

yea im so lookin for the same thing

[lyclycsms]

five star!

what is the drill head make of?

how long does it takes to drill a hole?

can a drill powered by AC do the job as i see you are using a cordless drill.

does the drill head comes with different size?

[vellefromhell67]

The drill head is a cheap diamond-bit hole saw from China that I found on Ebay for about $20. The entire hole takes about a minute or so, and yes, an AC powered drill does the job nicely as I am actually using one, not a cordless. And yes, the drill head comes in various sizes. Thanks for the comment! :)

[lyclycsms]

thanks for the reply man.

can you show ebay link to the drill bit?

i went to two local store, haven't find one yet.

[MacFormallyMalboo]

Does this work for Marine aquariums so i could put my Overflow system in?

[vellefromhell67]

Yep, thats actually what I drilled the holes for. :) Its set up as a nano reef tank with a 30 gallon sump underneath the stand.

[tiffxaxny]

wow, sounds like your neighbors loved you this day, and i could only think that your garage made it echo out across the street too
