How to Drill a Drain Hole in Glass

[@stevenmichaelwilson1915]

Beautiful video! Very pro. Great production and love the background. Just a safety suggestion: gloves and glasses. And smoothing the edge of hole with finest grain sandpaper, 220 and wiping it off with paper towel to throw away is a good before touching the hole, no glass splinters. Thanks so much

My dog passed away 2 weeks ago and I have been thinking of little ways to keep her memory around this house, and I decided to turn her glass food bowl into a flower container. It is a little thicker than the glass used here, but I think it will work. Thanks for the instructions.

Shelly Ross Sorry for your great loss of your pet.

[@shellyross2881]

Thank you, and now I have this great succulent bowl and every time I look at it, I think of sweet, happy Greta.

[@Patryc]

awww that's beautiful

[@terryg4415]

Don't forget to use your safety glasses to protect your eyes, and maybe gloves to protect your hands in case the glass breaks?

Terry G I had them sitting next to me... In all my haste, I forgot to use them! Will remember next time! :) Thanks for watching! ~Laura

You are so smart, love your videos!

[@williesimpson8411]

wow, that's great.. solved my craft sticking point. drill bit from Lowes?

[@antonygarcia9219]

Hi I would like to know which driller are you using and where did you bought it. Thanks

[@toriwill5967]

Hi! Got a question...I just got some drill bits for glass and tile and they do not look like the one you used. They are a hex shank. Will that still work?

[@hussyfussy8723]

Pause the video at 2:08 You can see a huge crack in the bottom of the jar

[@melmarsful]

That’s not a crack. It’s water running with glass powder...... 🙄

[@ninaboeske]

What kind of drill bit did you use? Love Love Love each and every one of your videos!! Thank you.

[@scubamage]

Pretty sure she used a diamond tip hole saw.

[@conniesmith6673]

do you water from the bottom? do you use a plate or something under neath the pot? Thank you! Connie

[@sharenlorch3592]

Have you ever drilled hole in a thicker glass say up to 1/4 inch? Do you think it will work?

[@NC-wl1xm]

Wondering if brand of diamond bit matters as to performance and durability. Also doesn't glass heat up and cook the roots if using for outside?

[@Ann-ub4mf]

That's so Cute!🥰🤗🤗 I LOVE your Channel. ❤😁

[@michaelpressler5132]

What about acrylic I have a beautiful acrylic bowl that I want to use.

[@laavanator1581]

Do you have a specific recommendation for what type of bit to use?

[@laavanator1581]

@simplekindafriendy thank you!

[@niabolden5189]

Thank you so much!

[@lisaswisher7445]

Not sure if you read the comments on these old videos but, you sped up the video - do you remember how long it took to complete the drilling?

[@glowingface1]

love this tee shirt...

[@grant1656]

What is the “drill bit” called specifically?

[@astrogirllll]

Drilled a hole in a planter today and it didn’t break!! Thanks for these instructions

[@DOTTYTIME]

What sort of tape do I need

[@jerielchua1852]

If I don't have access to a drill, and have to resort to planting succulents in a container without drainage, will silica gel be a good substitute for charcoal?

[@gardenanswer]

Jeriel Chua If you don't have charcoal, just use a fast-draining cactus/succulent soil and don't water very much. Water lightly and wait for it to dry out before watering again. I wouldn't use silica gel! ~Laura

[@jerielchua1852]

Garden Answer​ Thanks! But what is charcoal actually for, absorbing water?

[@vinh3978]

+Jeriel Chua i would recommend to put some rocks as the last layer in the container to make a drainage layer, then a charcoal layer which it uses for clean and absorb the water, then soil :)))

[@AmericanHoney88881]

Well done!

[@marnieo.7299]

Hey! How do you decide what size drill bit? What if it’s a small glass?

[@stavrosladeas4421]

Thank you for making this video. I'm curious if the drill has to be in the 'hammer' setting or if 'regular' setting is fine? Thank you again, and I like the final result with the succulents!

[@AngeliqueW0212]

Use regular mode cause hammer will break it.

[@ayethgarcia3245]

hi! can i use a type of drill with cord? or not? im scared i might electrecuted myself 😨

[@stevenmichaelwilson1915]

Don't worry. Just keep the rpms low, not to fast a drilling speed

[@NatyArb]

Hi! My drill is not cordless. Am I able to still use water with it? That just makes me nervous haha Thank you!

[@gardenanswer]

You can, just stretch the cord out and keep the water as far away from the outlet as possible! :)

[@NatyArb]

Beautiful! Just in time for a Spring herb garden. Thank you!

[@edcampos2678]

Im making a glass gravity bong

[@gypsyvanneraddict]
