Question what do you use to drill holes in the glass with out shattering it?

Thanks!

I use a Dremel with a diamond drill bit that is made to drill glass. It's 10k rpms with a small steady stream of water flowing over the drill site, so it goes pretty quick. Never put pressure when drilling. Just let the bit chew threw on its own and you won't break the glass.

You should do a YouTube video sometime of you making one of your glass S/H pots.

Cheers.

I just bought a gigantea and can't wait for it to throw out me roots to convert to s/h! Do you have any tips? What kind of leca did you use?

Thanks! Beautiful plant by the way
