I came up with a quick project to do this weekend, but there were some challenges I hadn’t expected.

Pictures from the build below.

The first pickle I encountered was that it can be very tricky to drill through porcelain:
1) Too much pressure and you break this brittle material,
2) Go too fast without lubrication and you can overheat you drill bit,
3) Using lubrication virtually prevents drill bit from digging at all,
4) You must use a drill bit specifically designed for glass & tile with a carbide tip. If you can’t get your hands on that at least use a masonry bit.
