Glass Block Lights - Drill Bit ?

20 years ago

Hi,

I am wanting to make the Glass Block Night Lights.

What I want to do is use the clip type night light that is corded for the light source vs. the string of Christmas lights.

The nightlight bulb is 7/8". I would need the hole to be a little bigger, of course. The problem is with getting a bit.

I can't find a 1" bit - I can find 3/8" and 1/2".

How are you all doing yours?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

I'm also wanting to make some blocks with the snap in bulbs. Determined I'd need a 1" bit and ordered a set from Harbor Freight that has a 1" hole saw cutter in it. I was informed this week, they'd cancelled my order and were sending me a refund, because they're "out of stock" and won't be in until Dec.16th! Really ticked me off!

If you are really in a bind, you could take the smaller drill bit , drill your hole and then reinsert the bit working the edges to make the hole bigger. May take longer but it works.

Try eBay for the bits. I just ordered a Forstner bit to drill out a candle from there. Great deals.
