EVERY lady needs her own set of tools and toolbox and exactly for the reason you mentioned. It's a life skill and a must for anyone who wants to be their own person. It's a life skill just like everyone should also know how to drive or go to the bank or cook (to the extent that at least they don't starve if they can't order food), sew, etc.
I just wanted to share what I have learned from my experiences. If you use a container of water and hold your pot in it upside down where the water just cover it and then drill your holes, you can avoid the blowout on the back side of your hole . Meaning the inside of your pot.
This video was right on time. I have 4 or 5 pots that need drainage holes and now I feel confident that I can do it. Thanks for a very informative video!
Thanks for making this video, Erika! This was super helpful and a total gamechanger for my unused pots with no drainage. Have you tried using the diamond drill bits with glass before?
Ya! It works, but I haven’t tried it on thin glass. Just on mason jars! You have to go very slowly when getting to the end, because if you go too fast the drill will hit the glass & break it
This is such a helpful video. Thank you so much for showing us what to do. :) I’m also in the process of making holes in my pots for plants, so you have been a blessing to watch. Thanks again.
i may have skipped past it in the video, but does this work for ALL kinds of pots? as in ceramic, terracotta, glass, etc? sorry if you mentioned that already and i missed it, this was a super helpful video though!!
Hi Erika, if you use a diamond hole saw with a pilot bit in the middle, it will make it a lot easier to drill (it won't slide around on the surface). They sell them at Lowe's and Home Depot.
This is a great video 👍 I don't think I've ever seen one like this on youtube. Is your drill easier to loosen and tighten? Because it looks like it is. 🌿
Nice video. I ended up using an "extension" between the drill and the bit after this one time when the bit broke through the pot and the front of the drill slammed down on the pot and broke it. The extension gives me space between pot and drill.
That extension sounds very useful bc sometimes I just put my finger in between & go very slowly lol. The first time that happened to me I was shocked so I’ll have to look into it
@@ErikaLodes Hi Erika, unfortunately I don't think an extension will work with the hole-saws that you already have. An extension requires the bit/hole-saw to have a hex shaped shank (the part that goes into the drill) and it looks like your hole-saws have the smooth round shank.
@@ErikaLodes Maybe you *can* get one that works with round shank bits. If the bit fits into this it can be tightened down with the little set-screws on the side. www.amazon.com/Irwin-88702-6-Extension-Bit/dp/B00004YO9Y
for bigger pots i use the 50 cent plastic plates at Target to catch the extra water, you can't even see them most of the time and there's a few colors to choose from! for small pots i use any extra lids to containers or small tea dishes
Thank you for this video. I was scared of cracking didn’t know about the water I’m going to be doing all my pots this weekend Project for me and my daughters to do together with all the plants I get for Mother’s Day. ♥️
I cannot believe how literally on spot what I am making a list to take w me to a big box store in an hour. Planned on just asking an associate Already knowing and accepting that I was going to just purchase what was reccomend. Only because before your video of a few minutes ago the difference between a good one and a basic Thank you Erika ❤🌱 I will assume same bit for glass.
I don’t really use saucers 😅 but I let them dry on terra cotta / plastic ones when I take them out of water. Then I’ll just put them back where they belong without a saucer
Hello Erika, great demonstrations. I cultivate bonsai and the pots are so expensive. I go to thrift stores or good will for pots. I do drill holes with concrete drills shapes. Where did you purchase those bits. Do you know if Lowe's or home Depot sales those?
Gracias Erika, I went to Lowe's and did not found them. But I gat lucky and found a 15 pieces set for 14 dollars. But did not know they existed until I watch your video. Great job Amiga.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand you have successfully exposed yourself as the lil misogynistic bitter sad incel you are. :) And I wish you get surrounded by everythng feminist all around you when you get so triggered and start crying and raging by seeing just a girl with her plantpots and a drill LMAO! lol
