How To Drill Into Vintage Glass

When I talk to people about my Steampunk Glass Insulator lamps, I usually get the same question, how do I drill the hole in the top of the insulator?  It’s not a difficult process if you have the right tools. If you would like step-by-step instructions, take a look at the video below.  I have also listed the supplies you will need. Happy drilling!

 Supplies Needed:

Diamond Tip Drill Bit
