How to drill a hole in a glass bottle

In this video I am going to drill two holes through a glass bottle, this can be useful for arts and crafts projects. You can drill the hole using a diamond coated hole saw, or a spear point tile/glass drilling bit.

I'm really glad I'm not the only one!

I’m off out working on a job for most of the day. I hope everyone has a great Sunday 👍

[@MattyEngland]

Thks, you too. 👍👍

Stay safe 👍

Interesting to know. I've got a big Westons glass cider flagon, I want to make it into a bottle lamp, be good to have the wire going up inside, from the base.

[@ultimatehandyman]

Some bottles look amazing when they are made into lamps. Best of luck with it 👍

[@devjon123]

Very useful video. I made a nice lamp from a Roku Gin bottle. There's a leaf pattern moulded into the glass. I used some of the fine copper wire USB string lights as the light source as it's easy to thread them through the hole. I don't have a diamond drill, I used a spear headed tile cutting bit.

[@ultimatehandyman]

Sounds great! 👍

[@iggbowmon3171]

Right on. Very cool. I have a hollow diamond bit like his, only much smaller. I will try your method.

[@peteramberley9952]

Who remrmbers them crazy bottle cutters that turn wine bottles into glasses ? Was it remmington ? Come out with a different crazy idea every year just befor christmas.must have had many people down A&E with cut mouths and hands 🙄

[@ultimatehandyman]

I remember Remington, but don’t remember the bottle cutter 😂

[@NOWThatsRichy]

It's still done, I follow loads of bottle digging channels & quite often they will find bottles with the necks broken off, they clean them up & cut them down into glasses, done properly, with the right abrasives, they get a very smooth finish on the rims!

[@ChoppingtonOtter]

Yey, my father had one. That model was called "The bottle chopper" 😁

[@alan4sure]

I got one for christmas when I was about 15. In Canada.😄

[@antonyporter5045]

WOOW nice video

[@ultimatehandyman]

Thanks 👍

[@43bikeguy]

It's a great video about tackling a very very oddly specific problem. Was it a bet?

[@ultimatehandyman]

No bet, someone asked me how to do it a while back. I think they were making a lamp 👍

[@raymurphy9749]

I like how you cut out the bit where the drill bit was skating all over the place before it got a start.

[@ultimatehandyman]

[@gadgetman36]

Top tip: Drink the wine first, then wait for the hangover to wear off before drilling the hole!

[@ultimatehandyman]

[@WildmanTech]

Those diamond holesaws work really well! Mine have lasted hundreds of holes.

[@ultimatehandyman]

Yeah, it's amazing how long they last 👍

[@happyundertaker6255]

Soft or hard pressure?

[@ultimatehandyman]

Just let the hole saw do the work, don't try and force it and it will be fine 👍

[@dot7107]

Make first drilling mark with nail and hammer... 🤭

Thanks! working on humming bird feeders... this really helped. Cheers!

[@ultimatehandyman]

Great to hear!

[@curtisss]

Maybe I missed it, but if you only have an impact driver, I'd assume you're best off not using that 😂 just a little warning for people.

[@ultimatehandyman]

An impact driver will be fine, they only impact rotationally, not backwards and forwards like a hammer drill 👍

[@curtisss]

@@ultimatehandyman honestly I trust what you're telling me but given the option I'd definitely go for a regular drill haha

[@sherannaidoo2712]

Good day mate. Impact driver will only "impact" if there's high enough resistance on the hammers and spring that tensions them. If there's no resistance then it spins just like a drill.

[@michaelplays2449]

Very useful. I often drill holes in wine bottles…🤣

[@djme-123]

@@ultimatehandyman Enjoy your channel and tips, but this one was a little random for me. Got one of those Wickes wet and dry machines you previously featured. Best £40 I’ve spent 👍

[@ultimatehandyman]

@@djme-123 DIY covers such a large area, I've done videos on security cameras, building computers, recharging air conditioning units etc. My Wickes vacuum is still going strong, although I use a Omni ice cyclone now- kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaLXgYiQhLdjlZo&t Mine has been abused, not by me, but I left it at a house where I was working and the girlfriend borrowed it, tipped the dust Seperator over and filled the bloomin hoover with crap!

[@peterstecks7660]

I notice you didn't use a centre punch to start the drill bit... 😂🤣😂

[@ultimatehandyman]

[@taab7]

You didn't say which grit wet/dry paper you used to smooth the rough edges. Are we supposed to just intrinsically know which grit is right?! Details are important. Do not omit them.

[@ultimatehandyman]

You are just making it smooth, any grade wet and dry paper will do. do not omit using your common sense!

[@dot7107]

If you can't figure out that thing, maybe then you doesn't need to do this thing either...

[@taab7]

@@ultimatehandyman Common sense would suggest the appropriate grit to get the job done quickly and efficiently. Seeing as you're experienced at drilling holes in wine bottles, your common sense might have suggested that it would have been helpful to mention which grit you used.

[@colinearwaker3329]

It’s a great instructional video. If you’re worrying about details like that perhaps you shouldn’t be thinking of copying the instructions.

[@loafersheffield]

You "plonked" the bottle down. I got that comedic word play reference. Next upload, can you do some double entendres, a little innuendo? I have a mucky mind.

[@ultimatehandyman]

I have three videos already uploaded, I have hundreds of hours of footage to edit though, comedy is not my strong point!, I leave that to the people in the comments 😂

[@hosseinebrahimi3451]

if you have a brushed cordless drill and it's normally dim and blue sparks have turned into yellow and bright sparks. don't continue to use it. maybe your model is a spindle motor that needs to be replaced entirely or it's a replaceable carbon brush. don't assume when it dies i will change them and it starts to work again. when sparks get this strong it puts pressure on speed controller circuit and the batteries and battery circuit, result would be that when you change the brushes or motor after a while your device will die again and this time costs would be higher. something i forgot about carbon brushes was sometimes the spring that pushes them forward might lose it's shape or brush holder might deform or carbon brush itself might be chewed from sided very slightly and wiggle in place. so you must have a brand new quality brushes to compare with. hope this save your beloved tools.

Hi what is the yellow tool in the background for please?

[@ultimatehandyman]

It's a chain vice, for holding round pipe or conduit. You can see it in use here- kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKuuaGl4iLaFqpo&t 👍

[@iandale]

Would it be faster with hammer action?

[@ultimatehandyman]

NO, that will probably break the bottle very quickly!
