How do you drill a ceramic tile?
Drilling ceramic tile can be accomplished with a carbide tipped drill bit such as one for masonry or concrete but a better choice is a bit designed to drill glass which is much harder Most home improvement stores carry such bits and they are only a bit more than regular bit sets. A glass bit looks like a spade on the end of a shank while the masonry bit looks like a traditional twist drill.

How do you apply plywood to concrete walls?
Make sure wall is dry and has been for a while. Place plywood against wall where you are going to attach it and drill appropriate holes using 3/16 drill bit thru plywood and then mark wall. Then using 5/16 masonary drill bit and hammer drill drill holes where marked and using a little bit of construction glue and alligator plugs lightly hammer plugs into wall. Let them dry for a few minutes. Then generously apply construction glue to concrete wall, place plywood against wall and using a 1 1/2 inch roofing screw which has metal and rubber rings attach plywood to wall. Over time moisture might become a problem but it should last a very long time. However don't do this where moisture is an issue
How do you cut a hole through the bottom of a glass bottle?
You need a diamond core bit for the size hole you want, fasten the bottle in a drill press securely but carefully, its important you keep the bottle from moving, pick the area you want the hole and build a dam with clay to hold water, once everything is fasten, water in the dam, have the speed of the drill press at around 500rpm, now apply light pressure for 3 to 5 seconds, lift the bit slightly allowing the water to rinse the bit and apply light pressure again for another 3 to 5 seconds, continue these steps until you cut through the bottom. TIP: "DO NOT" get impatience and try to cut faster, you will only wear out or ruin the bit. If you follow these steps your core bit will last you through many-many holes. (I caution you against using a hand drill)
