Step 9Pipe'n drill!
Now, push the pipe in through the hole and make it flush with the indentation you just made.
Now, it's time to pull out the 1/10" drill bit and drill in that hole again! this will be the actual passage for the air to go into the hot pipe. be VERY VERY careful! how much you damage the inside of the pipe will determine how well your vortex tube works. like before the drill bit should almost scrape the inside of the pipe when it cuts through. Depending on how the previous holes were drilled, you'll have to move your drill accordingly. Drill both sides and then glue the washer into the groove.
CAREFUL!!!
Center the washer FIRST!!! make SURE the hole is centered with the inside of the pipe.

Do you drill into the wall of the PVC pipe? Doesn't the washer block the flow of air? It looks like it's right in front ot the air tubes. Are both halves of the MDF (er. acrylic) the same?
