Plate glass can be cut with heavy shears or tin snips while submerged in water. Crayon mark the outline (can be curved or wavy) and snip away. Lay several sheets of newspaper in the bottom of a tank or sink, fill with enough water to cover your hands, scissors and that part of the glass you're cutting. When finished, drain the water, roll up the paper with the glass shards and toss it. I would think the same could be done for drilling a hole. Experiment first (use a BATTERY drill!! {No electric cords!!}) and see if that would work....
