my advice is to go to anthony and ask him to drill for you... and pay attention. ask for some pointers if he's willing. Then go out and get some scrap glass (usually easy to find used cracked tanks) and start drillin yourself. I've always maintained that practice and experience is the best teacher in most things in life. I seem to remember some people drilling from BOTH sides of the glass to avoid the problems of drilling one way through and chipping the glass on the opposite side; obviously you have to be super exact to get the holes to line up (easier said than done). other random tip was to keep the thing well-lubricated; having a hose on the drill the entire time is a good thing. as mentioned, let the bit do the work and don't be afraid of buying new bits for every few holes you drill; they wear out fast.
