Hey Wranglerstar =) here is a little trick from my grandpa. Every time you trill to a very smooth surface, but some (painters)-tape on it. It graps the drill bit and you dont slide way, while trilling. It also prevents tear out. Thanks for the cool vids. Nice Greets from Germany =)
@@jakehanneman6956 heat + normal epoxy= no bueno gases, just use rubber grommets for feeding heated water lines through sheet metal (rubber grommets for stems/ what size piping/tubing you need is another). ntm they are cheaper than epoxy ($1.50 vs $2.99 for ok epoxy) and are resistant to chemicals under heat. this way you fry less brain cells overall, dont kill customers, and makes it so the stem moves a little if you bump it vs 1 soild hunk of piece. epoxys only benefits imo is it doesnt require you to measure stuff and you know where its at in the hardware store.
@@doodlebug6833 you reallyyy don't understand how I did it. But don't tell me I'm killing my customers. Last time I checked a tube of epoxy got almost a dozen made from the smallest tube around. Not to mention with all my buddies together chain smoking wax, even after being heated up repetitively over a half hour, the stem never even got luke warm. If the stem moves it breaks easier because it chips out the edges of the hole. I tried it that way before and grommets don't work with how I do it.
Not watched the full video yet, but I was taught to use masking tape on the surface of the tile to mark your hole centres and to prevent your masonry bits from wandering. Works wonders.
I've used the Bosch set on my tile. It took awhile, but they did what I wanted. I only needed to drill 2 holes and question just how many holes a single bit can drill. It was certainly slowing down after the first hole. Our tile was much harder than your subway tile, based on what I could see.
this might be a bit late, but if you haven't found out already.. Never try to drill tempered glass, it will explode!! Found that out a few years back when trying to drill the bottom glass in my aquarium :(
Tempered glass will shatter. The reason it's tough is because the whole piece is pulling on itself from the thermal shock of the tempering treatment. If you introduce a void, it implodes.
I know this guy who had a power generator stolen while he was using it. He was working in Philadelphia in one of those big warehouses, and his job was to go in clean, strip, and rewax the floor. So he had floor cleaning machines, and it was easier for him to just run a small generator outside, and plug into it with extension cords. So he is there using his machine, and next thing you know the machine kicks off. So he looks thinking maybe he tripped the switch, or the circuit breaker on the machine. No that doesn't do anything. So he goes outside, and where his generator was sitting is now just a bunch of plugs unplugged, no generator. So he is like WTF, so he is looking around and sees a taxi sitting at the top of the street at a stop sign. So he starts to walk towards the taxi hoping maybe the guy saw something, but he figures by the time he gets to the taxi it will have driven away. But he keeps getting closer, and closer, and it is still just sitting there. As he gets closer he can hear the man in the back yelling just go man, why are sitting here, drive now. So he gets to the taxi and say someone stole my generator sitting on that side walk, did you see anything. The taxi driver says yeah the man in my back seat stole it, and it is in my trunk. The guy gets out and takes off. So the taxi driver tells him I thought something was suspicious, he flagged me down around the corner, and asked me to take him around he had this heavy generator he didn't want to carry. So he drives around, and he is suspicious because it is still running, with stuff plugged into it. So the guy shuts it off, pulls all the plugs, throws it in this taxis trunk, hopes in and says lets go. So now he is really suspicious, why was it running, why didn't the guy go take any of the stuff plugged into it. So when he drives up to the stop signs, and looks in his rear view mirror, and sees this guy with a puzzled look on his face, he knew the guy stole the generator, and so he sat there and waited for the guy to come up to him.

The glass and tile bits I use look more like a primitive arrow, with the arrow head attached to the shaft, if that makes sense, they work really well. In a pinch you can take a regular masonry bit and and sharpen it to much more of a point, with a sharp edge to it, most masonry bits are not sharp on the cutting edge, because they do their job by percussion, not cutting.The plumbers putty dam works good, but I've done the same thing with just a bit of wet paper towel. The core bit, next time put double sided carpet tape on the back of your guide board so it does not move around on the tile, they you can concentrate on keeping the drill steady, not doing that and keeping the guide board in place too. I'm enjoying this series. Cheers from Tokyo!
Yeah, tape is a MUST if you want to accurately drill. I use the Bosch professional range of bits (painted blue) and they made perfect holes in my tiles but I had to use tape so it wouldn't wander.
@@inhumanfilth681 I'm 16 and none of my friends even know how to use a drill properly there not going to figure out drilling bottle to make a bong. And I totally would never do that lol
Glass is an amazing material I. Lived in a 200 year old farmhouse in Minnesota when I was a boy. The windows in the house were old old counterweighted with giant cast iron weights in the frame. The panes were twice as thick at the bottom of the pane as the were salt the top. Glass is a slow moving liquid.
I used to cut glass for a living. We used a drill press to be more precise on the glass. And we had a rubber donut that held the water. Also tempered glass will "blow up" if drilled into, or chipped on the corner. Plate glass can be drilled.
I wear my welding gloves when opening blister packs... Them sharp edges will get you! The blister pack is sharper than the cheap knives inside the package hahah.
I do a lot of flintknapping and make some eccentric pieces every now and then when a customer orders one. if you study some native American and old Egyptian stone drilling methods (flint is silica based like glass) you will find out a piece of cane/reed/bamboo with some pitch glue and fine sand will go through rock fine. it is basically the grandfather to the tool you were using, pretty cool how things come full circle.
No you cant drill tempered glass cody.. laminated glass yes but not toughened or tempered. That type of glass will turn to a million pieces all over your shop floor..
Yep, the tempering process puts glass under tremendous strain, causing it to "blow up" when it does break. Think of it like surface tension on water, it's harder to break the surface tension with a widely dispersed load. The difference with tempered glass is, once that surface tension is broken, it's game over for that piece of glass. So you can take a spring loaded center punch, and easily pop a piece of tempered glass, but try swinging a sledgehammer at it, and it will probably bounce off.
If u cut at the temp the glass was tempered u can as long as its a cobalt diamond bit that's hot as well. U may say it makes the diamond softer but so is the glass. U just have to cut slow in an oven under drill press. Boo yah!
With over 100+ years combined years of family members in the union glass trade you can't cut or drill tempered glass. Unless you want alot of glass diamonds.
Weedus, no they are not. When tempered glass breaks it will go into alot small chunks of glass. Tempered glass aka safety glass is used in doors, sidelights next to doors, patio doors.
I’ve been making lamps from large glass whiskey bottles and the Milwaukee bits have worked really well for me. This was a great video. I appreciate videos like this, when I started it was all trial and error lol.
Yeah you're spot on. The slack-jawed Snowflakes here in the UK would have been deeply offended by the sight of his exposed danglestar and complained to the police. The thieving scumbags would have received tax payer-funded psychological support and Cody would have been banged-up in a maximum security prison for at least five years.
frankjackson8 couldn’t have said it better myself! Oh and I have been laughing for the last five minutes for the greatest word ever! “Danglestar” Bloody brilliant!
A Dremel tool with a pointed diamond bit makes a great starting point for glass drilling...no wandering of the drill bit. As someone else pointed out, a carbide surray makes the holes much smoother without chipping or spalling.
Hi Copy I was taught a "Hack" for drilling tiles, first mark the point where you want to drill with a sharpy of some other pen. then cover the mark with a strip or two of clear adhesive tape (Sellotape), the bit will not slide on the tape and will let you penetrate the outer layer of the tile without the drill bit starting to slide
I use that bosh set when i hammer drill in the wall so the tile stays in-tact and does not shatter. The normal practice is to punch a center hole on mark for wondering bits. The problem, tile is like glass and can shatter causing you to do a lot more than just drilling a hole for something. Most public bathrooms all use some sort of tile where you need to hang stuff and those Bosh bits are very handy for that.
First of all, I really love this new series. Second, im a glazier, to drill through glass you need to drill through from both sides to avoid those little chips(they're called shells) and temperwd glass can not be drilled or cut because of the process it goes through to become so strong it has a load of stress in it, and it actually "blows up" if you try. You can actually see the stress points in temperd glass if you look through polorized lenses, the surface will lool wavey, and the corners(if its a square or rectangle) have little rainbow things, ita quite cool to see. Hope this helps
Useful information there, I did think that about tempered glass, but now I know not to attempt it. I suppose any drilling has to be done before the tempering process.
The French Bottle LOL That reminds me of an Old Rifle I have a WW II collector's item. It's a French rifle Mas Model-36 NEVER SHOT AND ONLY DROPPED ONCE. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I hate Mas 36 rifles. They are pretty cool with the bayonet but the bolt could be the cleanest a mas bolt can be and still be worse than a mosin. The coolest part about the gun is definitely the bayonet and the way it just fits inside.
Hey Wranglerstar, just want to say thank you for letting us in to your life. I watch your videos because you share a lot of the values and believes my family had when growing up. Lately it seems like these believes are almost shunned, its nice to know there is still a huge community that holds the same values as my family did when i was younger. Love hearing your thoughts on all the latest pop culture and problems we are facing. Ignore all the a-holes who complain about your idea of homesteading not matching theirs or people complaining about product placement. Most of us come here to hear your thoughts.
We use masking tape in an x form and use the small bit and go bigger. The masking tape helps to keep the bit still and stops the tiles from splintering.
Harbor freight cheap diamond bits for a dremel worked real nice for me. Take the round bit at an angle to create the hole then enlarge it with the other bits
Well you see wen you live 67 miles away from the city it's not convenient to drives all the way over ther for a peace of glass wen you a set of this drill bits and some glass bottles il just make my own for the time being until I have to go to the city to get some groceries or something and il get a new one.
sometimes those pipes look stupid tho, would be better to find a cool looking vintage bottle and turn it into one, it looks a little less 'bong-like' plus you made it custom!
Those Bosch bits are amazing for drilling into tiles. Use em every single day to drill multiple holes and they still last a week or two in softer tiles. Not so hot if you have floor tiles but still better than almost anything else.
When drilling glass or glass bottles, using a drill press (when possible) and light pressure works very well. I've used clay and Play-doh to form a reservoir around the drill site.
Never drilled glass, but a simple masonry bit has always worked well with a bit of tape on tiles. Those specialized bits can be pretty expensive around here so we tend to make do
I use the punctured water bottle but a 5 gallon bucket with a water catch when wet sanding A class fiberglass finishes..fresh water is key in my industry!
I worked in hardware retail. The best way to open those blister packs are to turn them behind, cut from the corner 90 degrees like a square in an "L" shape. And then just bend the plastic and get the stuff out. If it's too stiff, just cut another line 90 degrees. Definitely need a knife. Make sure you do it on a flat piece of wood that you can scratch in case you overshoot. And btw, doesn't really prevent theft. As thieves will find their way round it by bringing their own knifes into the store and cutting it in an obscured location in the store.
Lol yeah no kidding and endless supply huh. Gotta keep buying them when will it end lmao. Just like the shower I guess just repeat until you run out huh lol.
i was making glass paned ant farms a while back. i used the diamond round bits in a crappy drill press. i hung 2-3 lbs of lead bars (weighted as needed) from string hanging on the drill press control lever to give light consistent pressure. each hole took 30 minutes or more. I had the same issue you did with the back side of the glass finally giving away taking a chunk of glass with it. i'd do 3/4 of the hole and then back down the weight for the final cut. always blew through at the end even with a wood backing. Not an easy thing to do.
A good pair of fabric scissors, or fabric shears if you want to go a little overboard, can reduce those annoying plastic packages to shreds. Cheap ones will just break, but good ones won't even twist. They can even cut thru zip-ties and thick cardboard without problems. The ones with the zig-zag pattern to prevent fraying work, but are much harder to get it to cut, so just use the straight ones.
Open your blister packs with a band/jig saw, whenever one is available. My first boss did it, and I never forget to go to the band saw for all sorts of things, now. Just wish I had one for the kitchen.
As someone who has drilled hundreds of 3/8” & 7/16" holes in wine bottles. The best way is to used the drill bits that are built like mini hole saws, encrusted with diamonds. And.. a small/slow drip of water(similar to the bottle drip used in this video)(but with a short piece of 1/4" tubing) Slow is fast. Gentle is efficient. 👍
If you use a sharp centre punch with a tiny tap of a hammer on the tile of where you want to drill it will create a very small chip what will stop your drill bit sliding everywhere and marking/ damaging the tile 👍 I’m a plumber/bathroom fitter and used this technique for years
you just cant puncture Tempered Glass with anything, or even scratch it too deep. reason is from tempering the glass the inside becomes a different hardness than the outside almost like a laminate. The inside "layer" now has an enormous amount of pressure built up within the glass itself. cut into it too deep and boom.
"Nothing that you own is more important than a person's life" ... arguable. Property can be measured in years spent working to lawfully acquire it. When somebody steals property from you, they owe you that many years off their mortal soul.
It would suck to have your stuff taken, but if you believe in God and an afterlife, then killing someone over stuff will be hard to defend when questioned by God.
@@vu7419 Perhaps you are right, heres hoping that we never have to find out one way of the other. Especially if it involves our pets, I had a dog stolen when I was young, I know its a different story when its dog Vs. drill. But I might ask for a little understanding, maybe not mercy when met at those pearly gates.
Those funky looking offset EMT-style "cut anything" shears with the serrated blades that they sell at Harbor Freight and the like are great for blister packs. They will literally snip a penny in half.
The method that I've used to drill through tiles with masonry bits is to b4 when you go to start the hole is to stratch the tile glaze by placing a piece of tape onto the tile then rock the drill bit backwards and forwards by hand using a smaller drill bit similar to when u spot drill a piece of metal, then once you've done that you can then use the correct size drill bit needed to make the finished hole size
For tile, I used standard masking tape over the areas to drill, a couple pieces over the areas and it worked. This was on a existing wall tile. In a rushed environment to get done.
The best way I found to open those type of packages, if stick you fingers in the little cut out they use to hang them. So 1 finger for each side then pulled then apart like if you was opening a a bag of chips.
I would like to add how holes were cur in glass before carbide bits. Tape the glass build the dam and add sand to the water using a piece of soft copper pipe. We used a bit and brace but later changed to a drill press for more precise holes. The sand embedded into the copper making a cutting tool.
For glass or porcelain it’s either diamond with water or carbide tile bits with quite a bit of pressure but on porcelain they both take a long time compared to something like brick. For glass your better with diamond bits coz there’s less risk of cracking the glass
For that jig for the hole saw, you could use a "ultimate luthier's trick" with masking tape and superglue. Put a piece of masking tape down on the piece you are drilling or working on, making sure it's longer than your jig. Line up the jig and mark where the tape touches the jig. Put tape on the jig that faces the work piece. Burnish the tape down on both pieces. Apply superglue to the tap of one and activator on the other. Carefully line up the jig and press it into place. The jig will not move latterly. To remove just pry up the jig. Tape comes off with no residue like you can get with some double sided tapes.
For the piece of wood to position the core bit, make it bigger and then stick it to the tile with some good double sided tape. Otherwise you get what you saw where it was sliding around when you were trying to start the cut. This can also work for the other bits but not as well. For water, take a sandwich bag and snip off a small part of a lower corner. Fill with water and seal it up. Now just tape the bag to the wall above where you are cutting and let it drip down onto the bit as you cut. the thickness of the bag can make it drip too far away from the wall but a piece of tap dangling over the end will deflect it back into the wall.
I use to work for a company that installed all the hardware on new homes and let me tell you grab bars in the showers was a nightmare up to 10 min per hole six holes per grab-bar... i wish i had those Bosch bits back then.... btw we used a spray-bottle and a towel on upright surfaces.
To stop a masonary bit wandering push it against the tile on your mark before you start the drill turning and rock the drill in a circular motion (like operating a computer joystick). The bit will crush a small indent and then when you start the bit turning it will not wander. Start slowly and make sure you keep the bit perpendicular to the workpiece.
