Yeah, can't wait to see Spot run.

Masonry bit for me. I never would have tried to hammer through it. I would worry about flaking and cracking too much. I always learn something from you. Thank you! :)

Hi Leah I’m from the uk and I love your videos. Ever since I became a labourer I work with many different tradesman and you have helped me improve my skills witch has given me the opportunity for more work. I’m looking forward to more fantastic videos keep up the good work. Love and light to all

My takeaway was the angled starting of the diamond bit. I can see several applications for that knowledge. Thank you.

Your right! Was stunned to see you punch a hole in that slate without cracking it. Would be just as stunned to drop a glass on it and see it NOT break! Thanks for the new info!!! Lynn

It's like you read my mind! I watched this a while back and I was going to refer back to this video because I'm making a new number marking on my house and mounting numbers onto a slate tile. I wouldn't have been able to find it, glad it got re-uploaded.

Amazing how much better that masonry bit worked. And OMG, slate! Thanks again for the great tutorial. You're the $#!+

Thanks Leah! I'm making a diy solar fountain and wanted to use slate but was nervous about drilling through it. I know now I can do it! Thanks a bunch!

Great video and super clear. I've been using masonry bits forever. It was very helpful to see the different bits BUT more importantly to watch the bits work with zero cracking. My greatest concern with slate has always been cracking. Good work. I'll be coming back for more info.

Thanks Jane, I'm a woman and disillusioned by roofing my shed with mineral felt which only lasts 5 years. You just made me one bit more confident in my plan to make a frame on top and slate it , which is what I want to do.

This was VERY helpful. I used the masonry bit since I also had to drill into concrete which was below my slate tile. The hardware store guys weren't convinced it would work but I told them about your tutorial and it was a snap. Thank you

The nail set was the fastest but the best overall was the masonry bit. Especially since I already have one! Thank you for the good video.

Excellent video, Leah. That doesn't surprise me, though. I like all three bits but my choice, or rather my pocketbook, will like the masonry bit the best. Nicely done. 👍

I love you! You're the best teacher in the world. I hope you have the happiest holidays anyone could ever have! Keep up the great work. I love all your videos because you never talk down to me and you always help me feel confidence in myself, over and over again. God Bless you!

Big fan, love your videos! Masonry bit with water and a hammer drill all the way. God bless!

The nail punch was cleanest hole and less time..wow

@@Tehcarp could help to hammer it on top of a soft piece of wood? I was amazed that worked so well. Maybe if you did that in a smaller size first it would ease using a mason bit to get the final hole! pretty great I've never considered hammering through slate!

@@Redact63Lluks youd have better luck clipping the end of a nail off and chucking that up in your drill. you really do want to bore out hole.

So glad I found this video I'm going to have fun with a big chunk of slate for a water feature. Thanks for info and demo.

Leah: your videos are so helpful. Also, your tone and manner are sooo inviting, and very special. I think you should have your own TV show.

Hard to argue with fast & cheap! Good program!

Bless your good heart Leah. In our world with so much negativity, you shine like a saint. Thank you for being who you are, oh, and for your excellent tips.

I subscribed right away when I saw your face. First time I saw Leah was on a video for unclogging a toilet. Had to call plumber in the end but I right away recognized the quality teaching. Going to remodel kitchen and bathroom. Painting cabinets, diy counter top and replacing bathroom wallls and epoxying cast iron tub. Biggest challenge is our 1950's Florida crank windows. Any suggest would dearly be appreciated!

Excellent Leah, Thanks. Cant help but think that the hammer and punch is tops; so quick and dust free and no mess.

Great demonstration! Some sites try to make it sound scary, like you'll crack the slate for sure. I'm getting my masonry bit now. Thanks!

The contractor talked me out of drilling into my slate floor that I had installed 20 years ago. I want to rehang my old swinging door. So with this sad news I would have now order a custom but standard hinge door in my 1935 year old home. THANK YOU! I am going share this with him and even buy a piece of slate tile to practice on!

All my years and NOW I learn how to drill in at an hole when starting. Thanks again!

Thanks Leah, I am just about to drill some holes in a very large and expensive piece of slate for a splash back. You have given me the confidence to do it myself. I think the masonry bit is the way to go , unless you need a big hole for a pipe or something - then I would choose the diamond. Thanks again from Wales, UK.

Super helpful video. I've got to drill through a slate hearth, and this video was exactly what I needed! thanks for posting.

Love your videos. I was an assistant to a union carpenter for several years. Learn something new every day.

I’ve used those cheaper masonry bits for many many years, with no ill effects. Those are the way to go for me. 👍🏼🇨🇦

Leah, I'm glad that you explained that this was a necessary re-upload. At 1:30 in the morning, I didn't know whether I was experiencing some drowsiness-induced deja vu, or I had finally fallen asleep and was in the middle of a dream where I was watching See Jane Drill videos and started jumping for joy because I actually knew one of your tips already! Yeah, I know, I'm a little weird like that sometimes. I hope you have a nice Thanksgiving. I'm very thankful for you and all of the ways that you help make our lives better. You are so appreciated by so many of us.

punching a hole through the underside of a roofing slate, with a slate hammer, causes a recess for the head of the slate fixing nail, so that it is flush with the slate, very good video, by a very good person. passing on knowledge for every body. who has an appetite for know how.

Had to do this to hang a TV mount over the fireplace. Worked like a charm... thanks again Leah 🧡

I don't think I'll ever have to drill slate but I enjoy watching your videos. Your the best !

I watched it last month, and I watched it just now, and I learned something both times. I always like your videos. Thanks Leah!

Thank you so much for this! Will be getting a masonry bit to put holes in my piece of slate!

Thank you Leah. You’re the best.

Well, that is something new I have learned today, thank you Leah

thanks, Leah! helping us thru a COVID bathroom remodel.

The best slate drill tutorial EVER!

In response to what you said at the end , I feel all methods are effective.

Nail set was the cleanest and quickest. Thanks for all you do. Oh I now may do a slate kitchen floor now...

Thank you for the instruction. I think the diamond bit was the best. Good idea on the angle on the start.

I'd have to go with the masonry bit. Slate is a surprisingly friendly substance. I remember seeing old sheds in Europe roofed with it. This channel is a gold mine of great tips and tricks. Thanks, Leah.

Nearly every terraced house in my area is slate roofed . I was doing a re-slate yesterday . I'm in Lancashire England .

I used the glass and tile bits and they worked great.

great info as I am helping my buddy run electric to TV on screened porch.. good thing is I already have the Bosch masonry bit!

Great video! Exactly the advice I was looking for before drilling 4 holes into slate tile!

This was a really really helpful video. Thank you

Thank you for this information Leah!!

Thanks Leah, extremely helpful. A nice, clear precise presentation.

Thanks for a simple video. This really helps

I am old school Leah. Hammer drill with masonry bit. Although the nail set was very cool, LOL.

Very helpful, thank you! Gave me the confidence to send a hole saw right through my floor!

Thank you so much, Leah! My husband would never have told me half of this!

Thank you Leah. love your channel, I’ve learned a lot

I would love to see the back of each slate piece to see how cleanly the bit exited. It looked like the nail set blew out the back of the tile a bit.

Glad I found your channel. Thanks.

Definitely the masonry bit.... thank you for another interesting video

in the uk a slaters hammer has a sharp pointed end for piercing holes in slate roof tiles. Also used for cutting the tiles edges to size.

Great video leah. Very informative

Masonry bit. I've also used cheap spade bits. I know they're not made for it but hey, l needed 3/4" hole and had one in the box so.... Ive even made a starter hole with a TapCon and used my cheap Chinesium pocket knife to twist round and round and wallow out a 2" hole for a washer drain. You can basically whittle away at it just like a very hard wood. Maybe even easier than some hardwoods. Easy peasy... It does seem to whittle easier if you saturate the stone with water though.

You rock girl!

So many factors involved in terms of your question "What do you think was the most effective method for drilling a hole in slate?" Having never drilled slate myself, my best guess is the masonry bit for its cost, and accuracy, particularly for gauging things like bolts or other through methods of affixing slate to other surfaces. But I also think the particular thing you're trying to do would also determine the best method. So I'm open to alternatives.

Thanks Leah, great video. I was hesitant about drilling through slate but using a masonry drill bit was as easy as a hot knife through butter 😁

I was surprised that the slate didn't crack when you punched the hole with the nail set. Thanks, Leah!

Keep rockin Leah!

What a great tip, I think masonry bit is better via. other two, thank you for great tip.

So thats how you use them bloody diamond grit hole saws!

Found this video very helpful..thanks!
