get a ceramic drill bit [not a bit made of ceramic but a bit made for ceramics lol] like the ones for drilling tiles tape the area up with masking tape use plenty of water and be careful
cheers bud. at least if it fooks up i cant sue you dude, too faraway. lol i'll let you know how it goes.
if you break the bottle on the first go, you'll just have to drink some more.
fill the bottle full of sand first... wet fine grain sand
I don't believe you have an overflow bottle... enjoy your bong!!! ;)
I use hollow core diamond drills with a water chuck/drill press.Fill it with water or sand as LL suggested,wack the lid on if possible to help pressure.Tilt the bottle on a slight angle before penetrating internal surface to prevent implosion,and use light pressure.Finish the whole with an arrissed edge on both surfaces using a bit of 120 wet n dry on a 45 degree angle to help prevent cracking. A glass n tile spear point drill bit can also be used but takes a bit longer an lower success rate,Keep It Wet.

Hammer and a nail?
If you unscrew the metal thing on the top, they already have a hole in them...

ive successfully done it using a sharpened masonary bit ,duct tape both sides and lots of wd 40
It must have worked, he's too stoned to reply :D
either that or it didn't work and he can't see for all the glass shards in his eyes!
If you know anyone with a bead blaster like at a mechanics/auto elecs shop then they put nice holes in glass bottles,after trying lots of times with a drill bit when I was younger to put a drinking straw about half way up the side of a sambucca bottle I tried it with the bead blaster at work and beautiful you can even put a little hole on the other side of the bottle that you can control with your thumb so you can drink it faster or slower, wink wink nudge nudge know what I mean
nice boris i too used to drink real fast when i was younger ;)
What happened to this little project? I'm hanging to see how it turned out. How ya gonna keep the paper label on? LOOOOVE Newkie Brown Ale ! Fuken EXE here tho.
sorry guys, lost my internet, havent managed to do it yet, keep on crcking the bottle, last time when i was just sbout to break through. still trying and i'll post pics up when i get it right. using wet play( for sand pits) sand.
