Thanks for watching. I currently have some pickles that I canned using this recipe from July 28, 2020. I wanted to do a follow up video opening one of these jars on youtube to answer one of the question of "How long do these canned pickle last?" I tired one jar about a year ago and it was still ok. Should have done a reveal youtube video on that. Maybe later. Subscribe to my channel so you get notified of the reveal.

Thanks for your comment. We have had several floods since then.

Took a long time to post this. It was sure a memorable trip. Your mom looked great. Liked her story about Joel shooting a buffalo. Don't know if very many people know what a whistle pig is. Road kill they get. Those goodies cooked from the Darryl and Ruthi Brock garden made good sauce. That was the same sauce you made for us. It sure was good. You might want to share the recipe?

Thanks Dave. Good to see Joel and Ruthi ❤️❤️.

That method also saves on the wear of the tools.

Your Welcome. Those were the days. Just a simple rig for catching fish. Now if trolling you got to tow $40 of a bunch of junk to try and attract what few fish there are now in the coastal streams. Eggs, Shrimp and herring fisherman seem to do the best.

That's what we thought too.

Gracias

If you hit rebar there isn't much hope for saving the drill bit. I would use only one drill for the correct size for the feathers rather than drilling to resize. Try a 5/8 inch bit for a 3/4" wedge. I have not drilled in granite but suspect that to be less dense than basalt which I drilled and split. The holes i drilled where as deep as 6 to 10" deep to control my split. I think you are drilling about the proper depth with granite about four or 5 inches. Make sure you blow out the dust in the hole frequently to keep the drill from bottoming out. That will also help in reducing the heat build up. When I first started drilling in basalt I had the same experience of going through a lot of bits. I then got me a five gallon bucket with water in it enough to cover the drill bit. After each hole I would remove the bit from the drill and drop it in the water for a couple of minutes to cool before drilling the next hole. Some say that this removes the temper from the drill but I did not find that to be the case. Although the bit finally gave out it lasted much much longer but it would have lasted even longer if I did not drill such a deep hole. I drilled basalt deeper because I wanted more control with the split in the stubborn basalt as I used the split rock for steps or other uses that required a flatter surface. I use a Bosch GBH2-28L-RT 8.5 Amp 1-1/8 in. SDS-Plus Bulldog Xtreme MAX Rotary Hammer. It gives me about 5100 beats per minute with variable speed up to 1300 rpm. I use the Bosch sds plus drills for most of the project and they served me well on my large landscape project. Love this Bosch drill and it is reasonably priced. The only trouble I had with it was a burned out switch which I replaced myself with out to much of a problem. It helps to keep the drill clean so I would blow out the dust using a air hose from my compressor. Hope this helps. Happy drilling.

I forgot to add that it sounds like you are using a regular type drill. The drill should be either a single blade carbon tipped or a cross blade carbon tip. The flukes of the drill are mainly to help remove the dust. The tip does all the cutting. The carbon tips come in single blade or cross blade that are fused to tip of the flukes. I have been satisfied to just use the single blade carbon tipped drill. You can see the types I use for my SDS plus drill at: www.boschtools.com/us/en/boschtools-ocs/sds-plus-hammer-carbide-22573-c/

@@DavidBoneck Thanks for the response. I previously used a workshop cordless hammer drill to make holes for wedges and the only way I could drill was by starting with small bits and gradually using larger ones. The rock is extremely hard and hard on DeWalt chucks. Remember I have an empty lot for growing trees and plants and have over time encountered about 10 large submerged rocks that I had to break. You find these one by one so you optimistically predict that you will never find another so why invest in an upgraded drill. I finally upgraded to a Chinese rotary corded hammer drill (SDS) ($110) and tried the same technique as before; start small and gradually go larger and also had a bucket of water handy but noticed after no more than 20 secs the tip melted and mushroomed. The rocks are speckled with quartz and this is probably why I see sparks while drilling. Sometimes there is melted rock fused to the bits. I was amazed when I saw your video that you started with a larger bit and went through the rocks like butter. In my case as well I put a lot of force on the drill which after the fact I understand impedes the hammer action. I ran out of ammo (bits) and live in Central America so I am waiting for a delivery from Amzn to break what are hopefully the last two I ever touch. I will take your advice and apply less pressure and start with a larger bit. If that doesn't do it then I will purchase a drill like you have as it is far less expensive than a Hilti. It all proves that without the right tools drilling hard rock can cause a lot of brain damage. It is too bad that there are no variations of videos similar to yours comparing various drill brands/ models going trough tough rocks like basalt and granite and who makes the best bits for these job. Having the wrong tool for this job really sucks and wastes time.

@@DavidBoneck Thsnks again! I actually have some Bosch bits on order which will be delivered hopefully next week. I have two large rocks waiting for the bits to be tested. This experience has left me exasperated. and when my wife sees me bringing a lot of tools to the car her reply is "Oh no another rock." Your video has given me renewed hope.

A site that does a good job of more in depth use of drill bits is: ruclips.net/video/gEhx1ehRkGg/видео.html

Your experience as a young lad was very similar to my brother and me. I still have that movie in my closet with all the other movies. It is 18 additional years in the reel case since I had them digitized. I don't know if they are still viable. I have and old Bell and Howell sound 16mm projector in my attic as well as the old Ampro Sound16mm of my dads from 1948 or 49. Don't know if any of them still work though I do know that the Ampro tube amplifier doesn't produce sound any more. I had all my dads home movies of the month club films digitized in 2004. It cost me over $1700. They were digitized at 720P and put to CD. I have others I would like to put to you tube but they are still under copy right so I can't. One of my favorites in WC Fields in The Great Chase. Thanks for watching and giving your input. Enjoy the rest of my channel. Dave

Hopefully the drought will be ended soon but just enough please.

Fortunately I missed that one.

These fish were nymph feeding. So we did not see them rolling on the surface though the water is clear enough so you can see them working the bottom in the shallows. When I fished the Missouri River in Montana by float I watched large trout roll along the shore and a good fly cast would often score.

If you paid attention he was saying the fish were rolling and jumping at about 14:oo.

Yes it is. You have to have a drill that will handle the bit and you will need an appropriate sized wedges and feathers that will fit the hole. Some rocks are harder than others. Sand stone is easier to control the split as opposed to basalt where it is harder to control. Although my Bulldog Extreme will handle a drill up to 1.25 inches I have not tried it. The largest I used was 3/4 inches on basalt. If you google You Tube you can find several example of size of rocks being split using several methods.

That dress shirt was an old work shirt from my work on a grounds crew at a university. When I retired from there I kept some old shirts to do work around the house.

I live in Salem RUclips is a time machine

Thanks for the heads up.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Glad this was helpful to you. There are other brands of drills that I am sure that would work just as well but I don't have experience with them.

My Milwaukee 1 9/16 rotary hammer is great on granite with fresh bits. 3/4" bits eat through it but can dull out fast. 1 1/2" holes take a lot longer.

wrong the sudden change in temp will fracture the carbide water when drilling is ok but do not put hot bit in cold water

I have never had a bit fracture using this method but I do not rule out this possibility. When working alone it would have been hard to use the steady stream of water and I would have needed a very long hose.

The Bosch was recommended by the sales person I spoke with but I am sure there are others that would work just as well.

@@DavidBoneck Hm-hm...

@@user-qd6hg8my1n I agree, though. American is the best way to go.

@@DavidBoneck D'you have wattzup, pal?

I suspect you mean Whats Up Application. I do not have that. I use messenger.

as somebody that splits granite for a living this is not the correct process for granite go to instagram and enter rockportcutgranite and see the way we split our stone

quarrymen used a 6-8lb hammer for striking wedges. Once a piece of granite is traced {you do know what a tracer is and how it is used } and drilled the process of striking the wedges whether continuously or very slowly will not change the split at all. I laugh when I read something like this I can only imagine a stone splitter at a quarry telling the foreman he is taking a break while waiting for split to happen, Have you ever actually quarried or did you read about it somewhere

Bryan Rutan Thanks Bryan. Good point. When I didn’t use the water I went through a lot of bits. After using the water for cool down my bits lasted much longer. They probably would last longer using air cool down and several bits to get the maximum life out of the bits. Thanks for your suggestion.

Thanks for that information. I will try it on the next basalt rock I try to split. When I did that before I was just able to break the crust loose. But, your method would sure save time and effort. Thanks again for your input.

You are right. I did use a dolly on some of the other large rocks I was working with. You have to be careful when getting the rock on the lip of the dolly. I learned that the hard way as when you drop it on the lip make sure that the lip is flat on the ground or you could get slapped by the handle if it flips forward from the sudden drop of the rock on the lip.

Thanks for the response. I have had the bit tips fracture more often when I did not cool them. They have lasted longer when cooled in water. Basalt is difficult to split and when you use the split rock for other purposes you need as clean a break as you can get. The rocks that I split are usually pretty large. A lot of times when basalt cools in its formation there is a softer shell around the rock and it is difficult to split clean through if you drill a shallow hole. Where is your source for $6.00 bits? I usually buy the 5/8 x 12" at Lowes and get a 10% veterans discount. Last ones I bought were over a year ago and I think were about $18-$20 each. Thanks

@@DavidBoneck David we split rockport granite that we quarry never use bits larger than 5/8 The splitting effect of the wedges is only as deep as the wedges and half rounds No offense we hate the term feathers because they are shaped as a half round and not like a feather we will dill 40 -50 holes at one time without stopping or changing or sharpening bit, bits are usually purchased on ebay and buy 100 at a time last purchase was at a cost of less than $3.00/bit 1/2 size we only work with granite so our process is based on that . go to rockportcutgranite on instagram to see how we quarry and split our stone

Thanks for your good information. I wish basalt split as easy as granite. I am just a back yard project type guy and only bought a few bits at a time. My back yard terraces have all been completed. As they were on city land, which has now been sold, others have the benefit of my terraces. I probably won't be doing much rock splitting again. I could however help a neighbor out.

Jim Schowe Thanks for your question and suggestion. I will have to experiment with that. The rock I split is basalt. The deep holes help control the split as they help channel the split rather than leave it to chance. There is a crust around the basalt rock that often breaks off if it is a shallow hole. I suppose if the crust is thinner that a shallower hole would work fine but I will have to experiment to see how that will work. The rocks I had to split were fairly large and I was unsure if a shallower hole would work. When you have a failed split it makes it more difficult to get a straight split. A straight split also allowed a flat surface which helped when I used the split rock for a base of a stacked wall or for yard or garden decoration.

nyjohn12 Excellent suggestions. My rocks were quite large basalt. With deeper holes I did not need to remove the dust. The deeper holes also helped control the split. Of course it is harder on your drills. That was the reason for the water dip. On the larger rocks I used a large cold chisel or if really large a 6 foot bar to separate the pieces. Some rocks were so large that I had to make several breaks to make the pieces small enough for me to man handle out of the way. If you want a complete dvd of my garden project-Mom’s Memory Garden-let me know your address and I will send you one. I would put it on RUclips but it is over 2 hours long. Send your address to davidboneck@cs.com and ask for it. Thanks

Very good suggestions. Thanks for your input.
