They look great.

I know how hard it is to drill those stupid holes. We found it wasn't cost-effective for us because what people pay around here doesn't cover the cost of the drill bits that get chewed up...

Thanks for alll your comments! What takes the longest for me is deciding which stones compliment each other and will sit nicely above the pendant and what not. Drilling the small beads can be pretty challenging, but drilling most pendants and sliders seems to be a piece of cake using the drill press. I'm probably able to drill 15 pendants with each bit, maybe more but I switch them out just to be safe and save those bits for drilling beads and not one of them has completely stopped cutting yet! I found that the hollow core/hole saw type bits cut much faster and last longer. I was getting bits from the local rock shop for 5 bucks a pop(ouch) but have been ordering off eBay now to save a ton of $. I also am a complete newbie at this for what that's worth

I had a drill press set up but it was very time consuming and not very cost effective. KD

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
