[TheForge] Drilling stone

[Ron Childers]

Don,

Perhaps a monument company could do it cheap. I used a small sand blaster to
cut a hole in a Coke bottle.

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
