hi welcome to Tristan Safford art I'm
Tristan Safford and today I will be
showing you how I personally do this you
may find a better way but how I drill
holes in rocks for jewelry
you
so the first step that I take is I clamp
down my stone in a vise and I make sure
that I use some kind of padding some
kind of I've got some foam in here and I
just screwed it down tight so that this
won't move at all but it is still
protected from the metal of the vise
itself and then you see here I have a
few different tools that you can use so
I generally start my hole with the
tiniest little ball I can find and then
if I want a very skinny skinny skinny
skinny hole I'll use this needlepoint or
flame point you you can buy these
diamond point drills they work as well
it does just have to look at the
thickness that it would create for the
hole itself and then there's this tile
style which is a really nice style for
drilling out holes but it is a bit
thicker and it depends on how thick of a
hole you want in your stone itself so
with that I'm going to set the camera on
a tripod and we'll get started okay so
to get started I am using the smallest
round and that I have and I have marked
the spot on top of the stone in the
front where I'm going to be drilling
from and as you can see I'm using my
Dremel micro we'll see how long this
works how long this this will last
before I have to switch out because the
battery dies
[Music]
I'm just gonna go in and out markula I
don't want to overheat the dremel Betts
reason business assignment and this is a
very hard so this is that I guess the
deeper the hole gets the longer I hold
the
[Music]
once I have the hole about halfway down
on this I one button I'll go ahead and
switch out and this one I'm using the
flame point
hey I'm going to go back and then I'm
going to do the same thing
[Music]
[Music]
now I want to let the diamonds do the
work I don't want to be forcing anything
[Music]
so we can check and see how deep the
hole is getting we stick our tool in
there and then bring it out and then set
it next to the edge so you can see that
we're almost to the other side so I'm
just going to keep going
[Music]
[Music]
okay I'm well over halfway so what I
want to do is I want to take the stone
out and flip it around and I'm going to
mark it with the marker where the hole
is going to be on the backside
clamp it down
changeup my drill bit I'm gonna put the
smaller circle back in
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
okay so I've gone ahead and I'm almost
all the way through I switched out my
blade to this blade to make a nicer more
round
[Music]
and see I'm gonna go ahead and switch
back to this one
[Music]
[Music]
now I like the hole to be bigger on the
outside send the inside I'm going to go
ahead and go back on this with the
triangle
[Music]
and that's all there is to it now I am
gonna go back and clean that up so that
it's a cylinder all the way through and
that's easy to do I'm just gonna take my
ball
[Music]
[Music]
because it won't stay on so it needs to
get charged but I'm done so that's okay
oh we got a perfect hole I hope you
enjoyed this I hope you learned
something and a happy grinding
you
