There are any number of ways to make a small hole in an egg.
Push Pin/Thumb Tack: The simplest way to make a hole in an egg is to use a push-pin (thumb tack). I use the sort with a long, colored plastic head as it provides a bitter grip. Push the sharpened tip slowly but firmly into the egg, and it will go right in.
The hole created in such a manner is fairly small. If you wish to enlarge it, you can use the tips of a small Phillip's head screwdriver. Simply insert the tip into the hole, and then twirl/rotate it. This will act like a drill/grinder and make the hole larger.
Blas-Fix: A second way is using one of the small hand drills included with each Blas-Fix blower. Hold the egg firmly in one hand, and press the tip of the drill firmly against the egg with the other. Once it has "seated" itself into the shell (you'll feel a slight pop), twirl the drill until it goes all the way through. The hole produced with one of these is a bit bigger, and the perfect size for using a Blas-Fix.
Reamer: A third option is to purchase a high-quality hand-held reamer, which is sort of like a fine drill with a handle similar to a screwdriver handle. The tip is very sharp, and you make the hole in the same way as with a push pin. Make sure to hold the egg firmly! Once the hole is started, you rotate the reamer back and forth to enlarge the hole. This works on small, fragile eggs on up to ostrich eggs. A reamer tool can be found at well-stocked hobby shops such as Dan's Crafts and Things in Rochester, New York.
X-acto Knife: Another inexpensive option is to use an X-acto knife, or just the #11 blade that comes to a fine point. Poke a hole in the center of the larger end of the egg with the sharp point of the blade. Then with a gentle twisting motion "drill" the hole to the desired size.
Dremel Tool: The high-tech way of making a hole is to use a Dremel (high speed rotary) tool. A Dremel is fairly expensive--it's not really worth buying just for this, but, if you have one around the house already, you can use it for this purpose. Use the cone shaped grinding attachment.
Hold the egg very firmly in one hand, and the Dremel tool in the other. The Dremel should be set at a medium to high speed, and turned on. Touch the tip to the spot you wish to make the hole, and apply very firmly. It will grind right through . If you do not hold it firmly enough, it will skitter across the shell of the egg and cause scratches/damage.
