Milady needs me for my shop skills. Don't happen that often.

She has old canning jars. The type with a glass lid and a little wire
arrangement to pull the glass lid tight. She wants to put small lights
inside and needs a hole drilled. I haven't measured up for sure, but
I'm thinking this stuff is 1/8 NPT size.

OK, how do I drill very old glass? I get several points off for every
one I break.

Whatever else you do, experiment on coke bottles or mayonnaise jars or
whatever new glass things you have sitting around, before you go
thumping on SWMBO's nice old antique stuff.

Good advice.

Instead of putting light bulbs in there, wouldn't they look better with
canned apple slices, or cherries, or something?

You're not married???
