Gonzobob Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 As a completely odd note a brass pipe can also be used to drill holes in non tempered glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustint21 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Man I would just order a new one, they are hard to find local and glass shops charge crazy prices! www.glass-holes.com Dustin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzobob Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 What? I have never heard of this. Can you explain? or do you have a link? Thanks Dustin Something my Dad explained and showed me (unfortunately on a piece of tempered glass). Make a tinkers **** oops (tinkers darn) around the site, use water or oil for lube. Get an appropriately sized brass pipe and hold perpendicular to the glass, gently rotate back and forth. (We just slowly rolled between our palms like trying to start a fire with a piece of wood but much slower) Be sure to put padding beneath the hole so the pipe doesn't just fall through.

johnoburns Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I think Gonzobob is pulling your leg. You need some kind of friction to remove the glass (diamonds on a hole saw). The pipe would have to have teeth in it or it would take decades to cut a hole in the glass by rubbing it back and forth with you hands.

It did take awhile but you wind up with both ground glass and brass bits in the run off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaceyJ Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 LOL! I just cant see it! Someone try this and get video please!Dustin Ok, when i come to pick up those hoods, i will bring a pipe and try it on your 125, you got a camera and 2 days worth of batteries? I bet i can get a hole in it one way or another. with an aircompressor and a copper pipe, i could rig something up, most likely the more effective way would be to launch it through the glass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustint21 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 LMFAO! I have the "150" broke down into glass panels! Thats how we unloaded it! It didnt take very long at all!

No leg pulling here (well at least not this time) Not sure where my Dad got the idea but here's a link to a Popular Mechanics article http://chestofbooks.com/crafts/popular-mec...s-In-Glass.html Of course this is 'high techy' compared to the by hand method but...
