[TheForge] Drilling stone

[Tod Estes]

Don,
I hate to offer such a low tech solution, but a star drill may be the answer
that you need. Last time I needed a small one I found it at Sears. I tapped and
turned and tapped and turned and poured the water and tapped more. Eventually I
had a hole where I wanted it. May work for you.
