[TheForge] Drilling stone

[ries]

Diamonds are a girl's best friend.
And if the stone is that hard, they will be yours too.
Glass shops use diamond hole saws with water coolant, and they cut  
thru hard stuff.

You can also rent a core drill, with built in hose hookups, and buy a  
diamond hole saw for it.

My Main Line customer wants a boot scraper in the shape of a canary   
(Her
small mansion is "Canary Cottage"). No problem making the  scraper.  
She also gave
me one of her driveway Belgian blocks to mount it in. My  pretty good
Milwaukee hammer drill doesn't even dent this stone. I dont know   
what they are
typically cut from but it is REALLY hard.;

Anyone know of a way to drill it or should I just try to convince her  
I  need
to use another stone.

Kindest thanks for any help.
