Jeannie Jig Makes Drilling Your Recycled Glass Bottles a Breeze
the Jeannie Jig makes drilling holes in recycled glass bottles a breeze
Recycling old glass bottles into designer genie lamps is truly easy with the Jeannie Jig (patent pending). For the nicest lamp, you will want to drill a nice clean hole near the bottom of your recycled bottle for the electric cord. That’s not as easy as it sounds. Lots of how-to websites will tell you it’s easy to drill holes in glass as long as you have a diamond drill bit. That’s true, but what about when you are drilling a hole in the curved side of a glass bottle? How do you prevent the drill bit from wandering across the curved surface? Won’t the glass get hot and break? What about flying glass shards? Safety suggestions include wearing long sleeves, rubbery gloves and goggles. There are lots of tips on keeping the glass cool by dunking your bit in water, splashing water on the bottle and the bit, having a friend run water over the bottle as you drill, or filling your bottle with water before you start to drill. Glass, water and electricity … sounds a little scary. And it’s not easy to find a glass shop willing to do the drilling for you.
The Jeannie Jig makes this essential task a breeze. This new glass bottle drilling jig holds your bottle firmly in place and will not allow your drill bit to slide across the slippery curved glass surface. There’s a built-in water cooling system and even a safety cloth so no special safety garb is required.
Make several gifts or sell one designer bottle and your investment pays for itself.
