The hole in the bottle may be needed for a variety of purposes. For example, to make a base for a lamp from a vessel and pull a wire through it. This is easy to do with a drill and a diamond glass drill on hand. However, there is a way to drill a hole using materials at hand. You just need a little skill, desire and patience.
Necessary
- - drill;
- - diamond drill for glass;
- - copper tube of the required diameter;
- - sand;
- - diesel fuel or gasoline.
Instructions
Step 1
The first way to make a hole in a glass bottle is to use a drill. Take a diamond drill of the diameter you want the hole to be. Wear safety goggles and gloves - the smallest debris can injure your eyes and hands. Secure the bottle in a vise. If they are not at home, ask the assistant to hold the vessel tightly. Do not forget to equip him with protective equipment. Lubricate the drill with clean machine oil. Place the drill on the glass. Press lightly and push the power button. One or two seconds is enough for the hole to appear.
Step 2
The second way to make a hole in a vessel came to us from the times when only the lucky few owned drills and perforators. Everyone else made holes in the glass with a copper tube filled with sand. Take a metal gut of the correct diameter. Fill it about halfway with sand. Dampen the bottle and tube end with water. Ask someone to help you and hold the vessel firmly while you work with it. Press the copper gut very tightly against the surface of the bottle. Make sure that it does not leave the vessel during the entire process. Rotate the tube between your palms until a hole appears. This usually takes three to ten minutes.
Step 3
The third way to make a hole in the bottle is to gently break off the bottom of the bottle. It is very important to observe safety precautions and wear tight gloves made of non-combustible material, as you will have to deal with fire. The procedure cannot be carried out indoors, only outdoors! Prepare a bucket of water. It should be cold. Wrap the container with a cloth dipped in gasoline or diesel fuel. Place it on the ground and set it on fire. Wait for the material to burn out. With gloved hands, quickly grab the bottle by the neck and dip it into the liquid. The bottom will fall off by itself.
