MichiganRocks has a nice drill set-up- andy321.proboards16.com/index.cgi?board=Pictures&action=display&thread=1078068767I use a dremel with some success and a teeny tiny diamond drill bit. I'm still trying to get my drill press attachment for my dremel, set up in place and fuctioning. My tumblers have taken up all my work area. 'Docone31' suggests using thin copper wire with silicon carbide grit, but the post I remember it from is 'long ago and far away'.

I'm interested in the copper wire and carbide grit technique. Don, can you refresh our memories on that one?
