Re: making a carb
Unless you have a dremel with and small sanding bit, I would say avoid doing it.
You'll break your pipe and be pissed.
Smoke less in the bowl if you don't want a constant cherry.
Peace.

Re: making a carb
If you're working with glass, work slow. And I mean really slow. So slow you can't even stand it. You'll get through that glass eventually.
I can't tell you how much glass I've broken trying to drill through it too quickly. Not only do you lose whatever you were working on, but it's also a major morale killer.

This.
Also, sprinkle some water over the glass to cool it as you SLOWLY and GENTLY drill.
Peace.

Re: making a carb
i would say try to work a tiny bit through it with a dremel being careful to keep it cool until you have a suitable place to drill, then go to home depot and buy a glass drill bit. drill through slowly under a flow of water to keep the glass cool...

Why not just drill all the way through with a diamond bit in the dremel under a constant stream of water?

Re: making a carb
Just listen to them, OKAY?!
Go slow, gently, and slightly cold water is a good idea, as well.
GO.
SLOWLY.
It is so easy to crack glass, and make it shatter.

Re: making a carb
you have to weigh the benefits man, it might be time to pick up a cheap piece with a carb instead of drilling.

Re: making a carb
By the way, a Dremel is spinning way too fast for this. You need to use some sort of adjustable speed drill at very low RPM. I'm sure if you have a Dremel you probably have one around your house.
