alright, so i found this really phychedelic peice of glass and I'm turning it into a waterbong. i fixed up a really nice bowl with a downpipe over a hole that was already there but now I just need a hole in the side of the glass for an inhalation hole(for a tube to go in). This is really thin glass that seems like it'd be easy to pop a hole in but i don't want to crack the hole thing. I know I only have 1 shot at it so do you guys have any advice for how to make a small 1cm hole in the glass?

I have a hand powered drill that looks really old w/ what im guessing is something like that diamond drill bit alive is talking about. Its a little tricky to start but it should work fine.
The first time I needed a hole in something glass i got my electronics teacher to do it for me lol (not knowing what I was using it for). Although the other teacher who saw asked me if it was gonna be used for a bong, but i got the teacher to tell him it was for a lamp. He was an awesome teacher.

i was thinking of terms of something i have access to around that might get the trick done, like a needle and tap hammer or small nail or something. if i had one i'd be sure to though...

you might wanna redo that "really nice bowl" plastic doesnt make a good bowl, well that is if you vlue your lungs, throat and brain.
i will be very suprised if you can get a hole in that bottle without cracking it, ive made 100+ glass bongs and ive never been able to make one that had a spherical surface.
get a diamond drill bit and go veeerrryy sllloooowww

nah dude, the plastic cap is just over a metal bowl, and holds the screen on it. the plastic doesn't actually touch the screen, pot, or anything when you light up w/ it. But ya i guess the drill is my only option thanks guys.

looks a little close to the bowl to me, i try not to have plastic anywhere on the bongs i make, let alone the bowl
how you plannin on getting water in that thing? is the metal bowl attached firmly with the downstem so you cant take it out?
if you can get a hole in it that would be pretty sweet its got a trippy design
