Elegant, excellent, to-the-point. The putty "dam" is an old trick but absolutely essential. I've done this to drill drain holes in ceramic pots.

Thank you for showing how to do this quick and basic !!

Cool.

Fantastic tutorial, always had a faint wanting to try this for some reason, now I have to justification. thank you.

Excellent video, i made it putting a stone inside a water bowl and works like a charm! Easy climbing holds made of rocks :D

Awesome video!! Right to the point.

Great video.

great idea with the plumbers putty thank you for the info

You’re welcome!

really smart!

I just drilled a hole in a large rock to act as the base to a floor lamp. The putty dam was a great idea. However, it left a stain/residue that stayed on the rock. Have you ever experienced this? If so, how did you remove it?

Thanks! I'm looking to make rock sculptures where they are stacked, so I was thinking holes big enough to fit rebar. But might be more drill bits than I can afford!

Well done - thank you!

neato! Good videos. Thank you so much. I never knew about making the putty dam. :-)

This is how you do a tutorial. Majority of KZreadrs spend 10 minutes asking you subscribe, what they are doing, why they are doing, blah blah blah. Just show me what the title says.

Right. Did anyone ever subscribe or like something simply because he was asked to? Not me...

I am clearing a property and have to remove large granite boulders from the ground by drilling a series of holes in the rock and splitting them using a wedge and feather tool. I particularly like your idea of using plumbers putty and making a water pool.

can use with hollow saw?

I've saved myself a ton of cleanup (and avoided the ire of my fellow makerspace members) by cutting a 2' x 2' sheet of paper/poly dropcloth and putting it under the stone to absorb the water runoff.

What drill press do you have?

How did they do this at puma punka a ancient site thousands of years old can this perfect precision be done with hand tools ?

I would like to know if you make a home half way through?

Where's the hole? I thought you were going to show how to achieve the diameter needed at end stage with one pass. Did I miss something?

How did they do this back before we had drills and diamond grinders?

+Matthijs de Rijk they used other sharp rocks attached to sticks to made crude drills.

it seems the bits you use are different than the ones in the link.

what would u use to drill a huge hole like if you want to make a tunnel underground and you be drilling in to rock not sure what kind of rock it is but it is kinda yellow like color maybe it is sandstone do not know it also could be limestone

Shovel???

very nice and efficient, but if you want to use a rock as a cabinet handle, you need to go halfway through, how we can do it please?

water will boil (and steam) before the diamond drillbit will have problems just sayin

thanks for the correction. I was informed at the masonry supplier that the water helps keep the bit cool and makes it last longer. Is the water more as a lubricant? I'm by no means an expert and will add an annotation to the video if I gather new information that will help other people with this type project.

Well i am just an engineering student, nothing fancy, but generally unless you try to cut something with it that can be alloyed with carbon (like alloys of iron) diamond will not be damaged below 700°C at which pint it can ignite in air. Without air its even less of an issue as it can take more than 1500°C in the absence of oxygen. (Of course different materials have differing needs for cooling, as steel drillbits can anneal themselves pretty easily, while wolfram carbide has less problems with extreme workloads) English is not my native language, so there can be some errors in my post :/

+Drawbridge Entertainment The purpose of the water is mainly to lubricate the non-cutting portion of the drill bit, but it also cools the edge and wash out all of the small pieces. Without the water, you will end up sanding down the bit. I personally prefer to use motor oil (though I work with metal, not stone, so I'm not sure if that makes the difference).
