Drilling tempered glass

Tempered glass can not be altered. The annealed glass is cut and fabricated (drilled, notched, an such) before it is tempered in a high degree oven. After tempering it is in that state forever. No drill or water jet at all will do it.

Thanks for the info.
Not like I am scared to try things just because they should not be done. [:)]
So can one anneal the glass, work on it, then re-harden it like you can steel?
Still waiting for someone to do the "Star Trek: Voyage Home" make clear aluminum sheets.
As for the display case, just grind a corner off on a water wheel. Enough to pass a wire through.
