[TheForge] hammer drill bits

[C&J Allcorn]

Several years ago I needed to drill 3 holes, 3/4" dia thru the walls of 
my shop which are 18" thick.  I had a used hammer drill bit, standard 
length, and cut / welded in a rod / welded the other end back on and I 
had my long drill.  Of course, I wasn't drilling in concrete but it 
lasted for what I needed.  i think I used HiAlloy 500 rod, don't 
remember.  I know this won't last for long but might be a solution for a 
few holes, might have to re-weld.

Just an idea.
