How to Drill a hole in a Glass Bottle | The Easy Way

In this video, we look at a way to drill a hole in a glass bottle.
Diamond core drill bits are perfect for the job.
The procedure is very simple:
Cover the bottle with water.
Use a cordless drill and a diamond drill bit to drill a hole.
For safety reasons, DO NOT use a drill with the cable.
(in case you drop it in the water)
You can use Instamorph moldable plastic to make a guide that will help you to drill a hole in exact point you wish.

Easily the most simple tutorial for this task - especially for someone like me who has never used a drill before. Thank you. 😀

[@kukashiplays]

Every young stoner coming here like:

[@MaryBethHebert]

This is THE BEST video I have seen. I needed a jig and this would work. Also I didn't think of submerging the whole bottle under water. That solves two problems.

[@ShakeTheFuture]

I am glad you found it helpful. Cheers!

[@legalhelp381]

So yea, let's make a Bong :D

[@louisrohr6373]

Same here xD

[@lilteddy9710]

Yeah lol but i dont have glass bits :/

That's why I'm here!!!😂

The plastic drill guide is a brilliant idea!

[@ShakeTheFuture]

+Franklyn F Thank You!

[@OlliMSa]

Absolutely fantastic idea about the Instamold! Ingenious! Thanks. Best video yet about how to put a hole into a glass bottle.

[@krishawes]

Had the drill bits, didn't think of the water - thanks!

[@ScrapwoodCity]

That diamond hole saw is cool!

[@ShakeTheFuture]

+Scrap wood City Yes it is. I used to drill holes with another kind of drill bit. goo.gl/vwwiwN It is fine for the small holes. For the bigger ones, diamond hole saw is much better.

[@jehuckphoto]

This is awesome. I had bought a glass bottle cutting kit and it included a diamond bit but I didn't even know what it was for until I found your video. This is exactly what I have been wanting to try for some time. Thanks for sharing.

[@viracapturing9109]

Finally I can make it

[@bmartin313]

Awesome video. Way to think outside the box with that instamorph plastic and thanks for sharing. The only concern I have is about the water. Is there a preferred temperature? I know it's not an exact science but stating hot or cold would really help out. Thanks again!

[@ShakeTheFuture]

I never pay attention to the temperature. I like it on the cold side, but not too cold (so it's comfortable to hold the bottle) Cheers!

[@migzz7976]

Instamold! My new friend!

[@JohnnyZenith]

I'm trying to do this bit from the top of the bottle downwards where the neck is, on a slightly more square bottle. Can I contact you?

[@AetherDreamSeeker]

This will come in handy if I want to make a custom PC cooling reservoir with a glass bottle. :D The crystal skull ones are pretty sweet. So far I've only seen two videos of such a reservoir running.

[@mattfrey2743]

Hello, Thank you for posting this video. I have a few questions for you. Do you recommend any particular brand of diamond core drill bit / hole saw? I realize that you are located in Spain and I am in the U.S.A. I don't know if we have access to the same brands of products or not. Also, how many holes are you typically able to drill with one of your drill bits before it gets dull or wears out? Finally, for decorating bottles with light strings, what diameter hole do you recommend? I was thinking around a 1" hole. Thank you for any information that you can provide. Take care, Matt

[@ShakeTheFuture]

Hi Matt! I used the same or similar kind of drill bits you can get on Amazon.com (link in description). I got mine from China (aliexpress or eBay), but I believe that it's exactly the same products, just sold under a different brand name. I don't know how many holes you can drill before they become dull. I am still using the same drill bit set I bought a year ago and it still does the job. To be honest, I don't use them often. It's hard to say about the best hole size for the string lights. Only you know what look you are trying to achieve. In my experience it's easier to drill many small holes in the bottle than many big holes. 1" hole is not too big and not too small, so it might be perfect. Then again, I don't know what exactly you are trying to do. I think it's best if you get a diamond core drill bit set and play around. Use a spare bottle to drill a few holes that are different size and see what you get. Cheers! Denny

[@eCitizen1]

I use very soft pressure and slow cutting as the cut is getting close to punching through, otherwise the back edge chips out.

[@PaulBishop-wo5ck]

Where do get the mould stuff from

[@michelel1852]

How much instamorph do you use and how thick does it need to be for making the jig used for drilling holes in a wine bottle

[@raulaguirre71]

[@ChesterRodriguez]

Nice tip, thanks for sharing.

[@steviepd]

How would you get the pieces out of a bottle with a narrow neck? Drill different size holes??

[@ShakeTheFuture]

+Stevie Dass You can get them out via the same hole. The piece has to be twisted and then you can get it out. Cheers!

[@steviepd]

+Shake the Future thanks. I should try that!

[@AwesomeWoodThings]

Insta-morph huh? I'll have to get some of that. Thanks for sharing this tip!

[@ShakeTheFuture]

Yes, it is awesome. Cheers!

[@francisxavierfernandes5475]

What type of drill bit you use to cut the glass. Can I drill a hole with masson bit of 6 mm.

[@seanherlihy7309]

No just go out and either buy a glass/tile drill bit it looks like a spade or a diamond hole saw don't be fooled by the diamond name it's not expensive

[@joselopes4394]

PLS HELP ME, I want to make a hole on a whisky bottle I have but I don't know if it's safe or if it's tempered glass, can someone tell me if it's safe and what bottles are made of what. Thx

[@jmc5074]

A whisky bottle is definitely not tempered glass. Just regular un-tempered glass, and you should be able to cut a hole with a diamond hole saw as shown in the video.

[@blankespi591]

[@arckocsog253]

[@ShakeTheFuture]

Thanks! I have a few bottle cutting videos already on this channel, but I am planning to make another one. Cheers!

[@yurimorales88]

Hola, cual es el nombre de tu herramienta

[@biancad6289]

Thank you very halpful idea

[@Kisha_can]

Using the guide so it doesn't slip is a good tip, thanks. I'm wondering what other drill bits would work, as I don't have any diamond ones. I've never cut glass or tile before, and probably won't ever do it again, so I'd rather avoid having to buy more bits if I can.

[@nileshadgiri1332]

[@freeagent8604]

Where the hell do I get a diamond core drill bit? What about the instamorph, never heard of it before? How long does it take to make the curved plastic thingy? What do I use to make that? Can’t I just send you my bottle?

[@ShakeTheFuture]

+FreeAgent There are links in the video description. Instamorph is just a brand of a moldable plastic. There are other brands. Search for "moldable plastic" on eBay and you'll find other brand products. To make the plastic guide, it will take you 10 - 15 min. Cheers!

[@freeagent8604]

***** It is all good info, thanks, I learned some good stuff. My initial thought was I could use household things. So I can’t send you my bottle (lol)?

[@theentertainmentchannel5347]

NIce video mate!

[@thesmity31]

why does the drill have to be cordless?

[@ShakeTheFuture]

+Tom Smith In case you drop it in the water :) Electricity and water is not a good combination. Cordless drill will not kill you if you drop it in the water. Well, you could also use a bench drill.

[@lovinlif39]

A HA HA HA HA

[@halibaitor]

@@ShakeTheFuture If you are that clumsy, you shouldn't be using power tools of any type.

[@Kisha_can]

@@halibaitor Uhhh no. There's a shitload of reasons you could drop a drill, that have nothing to do with being clumsy.

[@ShakeTheFuture]

+TheCrazyIndianAssociation Cheers!

[@ruthzizette]

can i do this in a mirror, too? i mean, it don't going to break in pieces?

[@elias549]

you will need a flat surface which the mirror can rest on (so if it's a big mirror, better not do it in the sink, also there will be a higher risk to whichever container you end up using, seen as you could accidentally end up drilling a hole into it as well) then it should probably work.

[@gooburh2943]

Now you can make a bong really easily

[@ShakeTheFuture]

+Jew Bacca Yes, I guess I can.

[@ezeprojects5425]

Yes, I am going to fill mine (it's a glass pitcher really) with a string of wonderful little lights and filling with pearl colored marbles. Don't have the bit yet, though. I want to put the "business" end of the lights outside the pitcher, thus the need for a hole.

Great video! But be careful with the glass chips/powder and your bare hands, glass that goes into the body is really not fun and could be harmful for your health! =( But other than that, great video, keep up the great work! =D

[@ShakeTheFuture]

Yes, I was wearing the gloves at the beginning of the video, but then I forgot to wear them again :-) It's a bad habit I have. Luckily after cutting hundreds of bottles I have not cut my self badly. I had a few small cuts though. Cheers!

[@Kisha_can]

I say don't do that. No matter how cool it would look. The integrity of the glass is compromised from being cut, so adding a flame to an enclosed space will heat up enough to make the possibility of the glass exploding and causing severe injuries, and possibly even starting a fire, very real.

[@parikhspiecederesistance3958]

@@Kisha_can U r absolutely right!! Thanks 4 cautioning me 🙏🏻 But we do get glass artifacts that have holes all over them. They r especially made to light a candle inside them. Maybe those holes r made at the time those artifacts r being made!! So that makes them safe... 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 Mumbai India 🇮🇳
