[TheForge] Drilling stone

[Grant Marcoux]

The core drill is the best bet....bits are costly and you should charge
accordingly.   Grant

Subject: [TheForge] Drilling stone


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.

Don Plummer
