Drilling Holes in Bottles


So this was a fun little adventure I tried.  Do not start this unless you have a lot of time on your hands.  Make sure you have the right bit too.  Put masking tape down on the bottle then just start drilling.  Go very slow and keep it wet.  The water will keep the dust (which is carcinogenic) down and the drill cool.  It may take an hour or more but that's okay.  If you go slow it won't crack.  The average drill runs at 900 reps a minute and you're going to want to go at around 280-290 rpm, so I really mean slow.  But there are so many things you can do with the wine bottle once it's done!
