Manufacturing process.
First, the author cuts a recess in a wooden block with a crown on a tree. The bottom of the bottle fits perfectly into it.
Then he proceeds to manufacture the second support block. Using a square, he sets a right angle, substitutes a wooden block on it and makes a pencil mark on it. Using it, he finds the center and drills another recess relative to it already in the second panel. Excess hollows with a chisel.
Now Jack screws both blocks to the plywood base with screws, after inserting a bottle between them. The result was a kind of machine / stand.
One of the blocks the master fixed on one self-tapping screw, this allows you to rotate it, and insert the bottle.
Now the bottle can be rotated and drilled holes in the place where it is necessary.
Next, Jack uses a filling putty. By consistency, it resembles soft plasticine, so from it you can dazzle just such a sausage and put it on a bottle to form a kind of bath.
To drill a hole, the author will use a 7/8 inch starett diamond drill with diamond coating.
He will use plain water to cool and wet the instrument and material.
Such a plastic pipette will allow adding small volumes of water during drilling.
Pours water into the bath and drills a hole, periodically raising the drill and adding water.
And now one hole is ready! Now we have to do the same on the opposite side.
The author admits that this is his first attempt to make a hole in the glass, and she was successful. According to him, it turned out to be quite simple. The most important thing is to debug the technology.
Unscrews the screw, bends the support to the side, and removes the workpiece.
It's small device in the form of a stand served a good service. The hole turned through. The master makes an important point: during drilling, you need to apply only a slight effort and move very slowly. For the most part, the author was guided by hearing rather than by his sensations.
All good mood and successful homemade!
