Drilling???
Hi guys, sorry I haven't posted much... How on earth do you all keep up
with all these messages? Love reading them, though! I wanted to know if any of you have had any experience with drilling holes in rocks. I just got back from vacation in Devon (Kingsbridge), and picked up loads of cool rocks on some of the beaches down there. I'm planning on wrapping some of them with wire, but some of them would be so elegant as regular pendants... I was going to try using a small masonry bit and maybe buy some kind of vice from the hardware store. Can fragile rocks shatter? BTW, one of the beaches, Blackpool Sands, is a beach made of little pebbles instead of sand. I took my sandals off and stuck my feet in... I told DH it was just like sticking my bare feet in a bunch of beads!  I probablysat there for 45 minutes like that digging for cool rocks. Just like shopping, but FREE! -Amy

Try this -- it's about glass, but I'm sure you will get something useful from it: Drill Sergeant: drilling holes in glass http://jewelrymaking.about.com/libra...y/aa051901.htm ~~ Sooz ------- ESBC Dr. Sooz's Bead Links http://airandearth.netfirms.com/soozlinkslist.html One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries. ~ A.
