I have a friend that used to make these. I don't remember him saying
he needed lube etc. I think he just used a regular drill bit. I think
he wen't through a handfull of bits but still sounds easer than using
lube.

Build a dam out of plumber's putty, put in some valve-grinding compound
& oil, use a piece of brass tubing with notches filed in it to drill the
hole. Keep lifting it so it can pick up fresh abrasive .. .. works
like a charm and is cheap.

I think any lube will make a mess inside when the drill breaks through.
Depending on the type of glass block, it may be a lot of work to clean the
inside.

They now make some "glass block" out of lucite. Much easier to drill and
much lighter to work with!

Make it easy buy plastic block, thats what the original probably was
