How to make a bong out of a Hennessy bottle:
1/5th bottles seem to work best. Get a bottle, wash it out, and set aside.
Go to a smoke shop and ask for a downstem and bowl piece. Ideally the down stem will be about 6” long. You can go longer/shorter depending on the angle your hole is made at.
Once you have your downstem, take a tape measure and measure the OSD of the glass. (Outside diameter. In my case the OSD was a hair over 1/2”, so I used a 5/8” drill bit)
Once you know the OSD of the downstem, you’ll need to go to the hardware store and get a drill bit that is at least 1mm larger than the OSD of your downstem. You need a special carbide (or diamond in some cases, ymmv depending on where you go to get the bit) drill bit that is intended for going through glass. They look a bit like this.
Drill your hole. ALWAYS WET DRILL GLASS. Always. Do it in your sink with the water running, and drill at about half-speed. It will take some time to get through the glass. The angle you hold your drill at will determine where and how the downstem sits in the bottle. About a 45 degree angle on the glass where I put my downstem works well.
Once the hole is made, rise the bottle out very well, and dry the outside. Put your downstem in the hole, and use some putty to make the air seal.
Pack a bowl, and enjoy 🙂
here's one of the higher rated sets on amazon and seems like a good place to start
Edit-fixed the link! 😊
General outline straight cuts using a wet tile saw, then use tile snippers for countouring.
There's a lot of options for drilling the holes.
I think maybe it's this one
I've used these to drill through glass and tile. Take your time and they get the job done. Its only four holes after all.

OK, I think the one I have like this is "carbide". I guess they mean tungsten carbide?
There are special drill bits designed to drill through ceramic. I bought these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001GNC8RI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Ev8FybXJ3YC1D
