How to Drill Rock for a Fountain | Make Your Own Bubbling Rock

In this video, we'll show you how to drill a rock to make a unique DIY water feature! I've always wanted to drill through rock in order to create one of these bubbling rocks to include in our growing aquascape. Our buddy Ethan from @amencornerponds will drill through this rock so we can turn it into a bubbling rock water fountain.
The finished product by Amen Corner Ponds is going to be incredible!

Looking at this drill zoomed in, it’s from United Rentals. I went to their website and believe the drill used here is a Concrete Core Drill, 15 Amps, Handheld. They rent all sorts of bit sizes. Hope this helped. ❤

[@grassrootsgardening]

agree

[@garycima3283]

Very good input!!

[@debsheldon4040]

Thank you! That helps!

[@MissWobbles]

Wow! Awesome! I just found a tall rock I want to make a fountain by drilling through it. Thanks for teaching us!

[@grassrootsgardening]

Thanks for watching!

[@ROBSwank-pm1vd]

I built a full waterfall with a pond pool at my first home but want to do the pondless waterfall !! I have tje great rocks but was wondering how hard drilling those holes are !! Thx great presentation on this phase of build !! 😎

[@grassrootsgardening]

Thanks, I am going to get some more boulders stone for drilling and will do a much better job explaining the process. It wasn’t hard at all to drill them

[@johncarothers1791]

Without telling us what drill you used, we can't really use this knowledge.

[@grassrootsgardening]

Sorry, we rented it

[@MrDraper38]

Do you mind me asking what kind of drill and drill bit that was I'm going to do this this upcoming week and I thought I could use a hammer drill with a carbide tip

[@grassrootsgardening]

Buddy I sure wish I knew, I’ve been asked this a couple of times. I had no idea this video would’ve gotten so much attention. Ethan, the guy drilling, just rented the tools from United rental for the project. Sorry I can’t be more help!

[@shawnhollahan590]

You didn't identify the type of tool you're using ? where do you rent one ? Where do you buy one ? What's it called ? What kind of bits are there ? How deep of a hole can you drill.....????????

[@grassrootsgardening]

Sorry friend, it was a surprise video as I didnt even know my buddy was there doing the work. He rented everything so I still know nothing of the tools, sorry!

[@melissacarson9047]

Hilti makes core drills and bits. They used to rent them out at Home Depot. Not sure if they still do. Water feed line isn’t a must but makes it easier than poring on water during process.

[@tomhoyt5970]

I’m guessing this is sandstone. If not who makes the bit ?

[@grassrootsgardening]

It wasn’t sandstone and I’m sorry I don’t know who makes the bit. We rented it

[@danto1582]

Great video...what's the name of the drill you used?

[@grassrootsgardening]

I don’t know, my buddy rented it. Sorry

[@danto1582]

No worries...great videos anyways.

[@danto1582]

@@reubenfrazier5603 thanks greatly appreciated

[@randyatencio55]

This is hilarious, everyone is asking information about the drill and the creator refuses to do the leg work to provide the information. Must be a store employee, "I dont know i just work here."

[@grassrootsgardening]

Basically

[@jamesscott9028]

Can you ask your buddy about the drill?

[@grassrootsgardening]

he rented it from united

[@alexandermontserin7139]

Where can I get a bit fir that

[@grassrootsgardening]

Wish I could tell ya, but it came with the rented drill. Sorry

[@alexandermontserin7139]

Do you know what type of bit it is . Like a core bit or something of the sort

[@jillmariegoodrich]

Your mother called. She asked you to please wear eye protection next time you core a boulder...

[@grassrootsgardening]

yes ma'am!
