- Pyro Pauls neighbour (Scud) is going to concrete his drive way at last... but there was this huge, at one time fashionable rock in the way that had to go. How do you move this thing without an excavator?? Easy - you break it into small pieces, you could spend all day doing this with a jack hammer, but lucky for Scud, Paul next door knows a much quicker and easier way.

Love the way he painted the hole AFTER he drilled it. It’s all about presentation isn’t it?!
Geez Dave you could learn a few lessons from this bloke! 😂😂😂
Yeah.... funny that he chose to do that, I guess in this case it is good for effect on the video. The reason that I normally do it 1/ you count the holes as you mark them - ensures you don't count any twice. 2/ helps you not miss any when loading. 3/ If you should happen to have a cut tube missfire where not all of the shot fires and you have to uncover the thing with hand tools, it makes finding the holes a lot easier.
His wife is gonna be PISSED. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY VAC?!!"
Yes, I can't see that ending well 101
This is the kind of video I would expect you to upload on April Fools Day. This made me laugh and I'm just to the Hoover part...
From my personal experience, there are not many worse thing than stone dust to suck up with a regular domestic vac.
Plugs and feathers may be an ancient way to split rocks, but it still works very nicely , thank you.
Sure does Jim!
You can tell by his voice that Dave was learning a lot.
I was not sure how much Paul was enjoying the commentary. He got the job done though, even if it did kill the vacuum cleaner. I use a couple of those SuperCheap Autos vacs including one of their 35L. This is in a wood shop, but my wife has taken to using it on the patio slabs, so the bag is full of sand, and the patio slabs are now loose. Oh well. Sand is cheap, and a happy wife is priceless. Hey, I've never thought about vacuuming conductive dust.
Graphite dust in the commutator is a violent show stopper Trevor!
I suppose graphite dust is used to bulk up some kind of explosives? Also in fireworks for delays? I have an old tub style shop vacuum which has a baffle to stop chunks from impacting the filter. It's a wet dry vacuum. Not sure how to stop it! It's still sucking after twenty years!
@@demolitiondavedrillandblast So are fine metal filings...🥴
12👍's up demolition Dave it's a good day to break some rocks
Thanks for watching Scott.
Is it that cute his drill powered by magic pixies and not the breath of God.
For sure, 240 magic pixies
Hey Dave, You did an awesome job holding the camera! Such teamwork! Job well done! Take Care, Jim
It's really good watching other people work for a change 531
@@demolitiondavedrillandblast I Love Work - I can watch others All Day Long Doing It!
The guy filming was obsessed with the vacuum
That's a nice driveway blocker.
Yeah, what dumb place to put a rock!
Love this! Monty Python breaking rocks. Laughed when he threw the drill down. Using the household vacuum. I was waiting for him to vacuum up all the surrounding soil- killer stuff. Then the lipstick on the holes...as if for later. 😂
I would have used my mini excavator to pop it in the neighbors wheelie bin!
Hahahah.... nothing like bin stuffing in the hours of darkness.
Dave - show Paul the proper technique with a leg up over that drill’s handle. 😬
Leg over a toy drill....
Dave O
I could've sworn this is a family friendly channel too😜
@@michpich6319😂😂😂😂😂
You could have been King Arthur, even without the vacuum.
Just love plugs and feathers, even if not "Dave Size"! - the power of the wedge is always impressive. Great result :)
Very true!
Demo Dave and Pyro Paul, what a pair!
Oh yeah, good to see you Norm.
Well, that was quick and easy! Thanks for sharing .
Yes it was! I might loose some jobs by showing how easy it can be done.
Seeing someone use a little carpet vacuum for heavy stone dust like that is certainly a first. 😂
Probably also the last for that Vac.
@@demolitiondavedrillandblast there is no way that vac can recover from that
The quiet way keeps the neighbors happy.
Nicely broken. But I reckon there’s a hernia or two in store when they try and get rid of the pieces.
A two wheel trolley is the preferred method.
We were vacuum cleaning a petrol tank and it took of like jet engine vac dead
Just not the same without explosivesand the siren!! Good work.
Dave should have cranked the siren before Paul started whacking with the hammer. 😂😂
Nice video Dave. Might be old tech, but it gets the job done! I think I have the same set of feathers & wedges. Its a lot of work, but if you only have a couple of rocks to split, it is pretty efficient & doesn't take a lot of tooling.
They certainly have there applications Jim, I would not be without them.
Lol what a laugh - thanks for sharing MrD 👏❤️😂xx
Glad you enjoyed it MLE
K-Mart vacuum is regretting its life decisions.
Warranty???
Aye, you’ve met your match there Dave! He’s got all the kit! Lol
Well actually the little plugs and feathers are mine. As a side note this is probably the smallest rock that Paul has ever broken as most of his blasting experience has been in open cut mining.
I've heard of getting medieval on a rock but that's taking it literally LOL :-) :-)
Getting Egyptian actually Kevin.
so what your saying is Dave, the days work is not complete until you blow some rock apart .
You're learning!
With 2 guys there just looking at the rock should be enough to make the rock shit its pants lol
Hello Dave. If you were to have to blast that rock, would you be required to get a permit or make some type of notifications? It looks like a residential area so I’m curious. 2nd question, do you make your own feathers or buy them already made? Thank you for your videos from the state of New Mexico in th USA.
This one technically yes because it was partly on the street - the council owned reserve so they would be a notifiable stake holder... and that would not be a straightforward process. If it were in back yard I would just warn the neighbours that there would be a small bang. These little tools came from China.
What do you use to drill " blue " field rock ?? Those rock..........you can bounce one off of the other and never leave a mark !
The regular pneumatic rock drill with tungsten carbide bits will handle this.
...good one, nice job. keep safe...
Thanks, you too!
Perfectly done 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
I love watching plugs and feathers videos. It weird, its like watching squeezing pimple videos.
Do people make pimple squeezing videos??
@@demolitiondavedrillandblast Yes they do and they are really repulsive but addictive to watch.
G'day Dave great video and cute little rock 🍻😁
Glad you enjoyed it Murphy
@@demolitiondavedrillandblast Always mate
Looks like that guy was on speed😂😂
Takes one to know one they say.
I now, for some strange reason, want a Hot Cross Bun.
OK... coming to a shop near you soon.
I need me a set of these... many sets, different sizes... my birthday is coming soon🤔 haha
let me know when you split some stuff Wayne.
G'Day, mate!!!
That's what we say Down Under.
I wish I could get through my granite rocks so quickly! 😅
Given that this rock is a lot softer than granite, any SDS+ type electric hammer drill should be able to manage
If you have a moment Dave it’s worth looking on RUclips for WW2 bomb exploded in Exeter UK vids.
2.200lb German bomb discovered on allotment.
I saw that Roddy, apparently they covered it with 450 Tonnes of sand.... probably should have used 900 tonnes.
@@demolitiondavedrillandblast
They’re playing down the damage, it was more than widows and doors blown out there was structural damage too.
dave isnt it older than 2K? the egypt stone cutters were 3.5K ish? using bronze
I think you might be correct there CT.
Another job done with simple tools of the trade.
3500 year old tech!
@@demolitiondavedrillandblast I was watching a video where they were using grass and stone chisel to split rocks. Same idea just using different type of tools.
Yes old school way of doing things.
Nice video! Where are you located? You sound like Englishmen, but the cars look American.
Located in Melbourne Australia, thanks for watching.
Toothpick job today hehe
This one was a love job.
Hammer drills are fine for making holes for lag bolts but a rotary hammer is what you really want for bigger holes for that sort of work. A rotary hammer plows right through rock and concrete.
Gotcha McG, my biggest hand held drill is 35 Kg and it is a monster! My choice for these little holes would be my Chicago Pneumatic CP9... but this was Paul show today. Thanks for watching.
If this is ancient technology, how did they drill holes into the stone?
Good question considering that we are told they only had soft copper tools.
There ought to be some prisoners with big sledge hammers doin' that stuff.
Nah, they all get big screen TV, Netflix and WIFI to fill in their days.
Esa roca está pequeña me la llevo en el bolsillo. Saludos.
What? That little Rock needed .5 kg of anfo to make it disappear lol. I learned about feather and wedges watch This old House they were splitting rock for stairs that was 30 yrs ago.
It would have disappeared alright, have a sure feeling that 0.5Kg of ANFO would have scattered this one all over the street, before long we would have been hearing sirens and lots of flashing lights and we would be meeting with officials....
@@demolitiondavedrillandblast lol
does it work on 70 year old concrete 8 inches thick?
Easy, concrete is very soft by comparison. However if there is steel in the concrete you are going to have problems.
Ancestrals technics ever works. Not spectacular but efficient. Is it possible to collect some money to buy him a real vacuum (for your friend) ? It's pity with his tiny house vacuum style lol.
Thank you for the vidéo Dave.
Paul tells me that the Vac lives to vac another day.
Wait.... they adorable. Even my muscle lacking brother in law Chris could use them
Always amazes me what can be broken with them.
Well done
Thanks Kelly
I hope that unwanted rock that was so skilfully split up, wasn't at the end of your drive Dave. ;)
Not mine, Pyro Pauls neighbours drive.
Dave, you need a drill like that!
I have a little pneumatic hammer drill that would spank that one - a CP9 - www.jackhammers.com/tools/pneumatic/rock-drills/cp-chicago-pneumatic-0009-pneumatic-rock-drill.html
That poor drill; big job for small drill. Don't try that on granite or basalt. In my case I migrated from a similar cordless DeWalt workship hammer drill all the way up to a corded Bosch SDS max drill that chews through basalt like a hot knive through butter. Drilling is the toughest part of the job. In your case with only one rock to eliminate you use the tools at your disposal.
What was the red shit for...
That wasnt explained...🤣
Well..... That is a trade secret.
@@demolitiondavedrillandblast of you tell me youd have to kill me huh?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just have to sow your lips up.
Ha, Ha Dave, I noticed you didn't go any where near that 'tiny' drill. Beneath your dignity!
I have a little pneumatic hammer drill that would spank that one - a CP9 - www.jackhammers.com/tools/pneumatic/rock-drills/cp-chicago-pneumatic-0009-pneumatic-rock-drill.html
Me and the boys would have took it away for you, always needing big rocks.
Nice!!!!!
Thanks for the visit
3 pieces are enough
They probably get better meds than I do.
Those 4 bits would still be bloody heavy !
It's mostly air bubbles Damo!
what kind of drill bit is used?
For this job, using the small plugs and feathers I used a 14mm SDS+ bit. www.bunnings.com.au/kango-260mm-k4-sds-plus-drill-bit-14mm_p0012939
@@demolitiondavedrillandblast thanks for the help, i have some rock cutting to do soon!
I want to quarry some sandstone on my property for retaining wall blocks, what is the easiest way to do it.
Hi Skim, it is worth a try, sandstone can be problematic though as it tends to have horizontal betting planes that dictate where it will break, sometimes this will be in your favor.
@@demolitiondavedrillandblast Thanks mate.
You should have stuffed a few firecrackers into the holes....just to see if it would have worked. Baby drill....baby holes....baby explosives. LOL. More seriously, hiking trail crews here in the States can break rocks exactly that way...well, except having to hand drill the holes when in areas that are designated as Wilderness by the Congress.
When you say hand drill... you mean hammer and star chisel way?
@@demolitiondavedrillandblast Yep. Single jack sledge and star drill. Power equipment isn't allowed. Although, explosives are allowed. I know a couple of the blasters with my local Forest Service Ranger Districts. One told me they usually surface blast outcrops in the way of trails. Hand drilling, feathers and wedges (plus carbide edged tracers, chisels, etc) would be if one needed to shape stones for building something like steps or blocks for a wall or such.
Groan.....
@@demolitiondavedrillandblast Well, it does keep the Wilderness quiet, except for those few seconds when blasting an outcrop, or a fallen tree that is too unstable or dangerous to cut. Not only no powered hammer drills for rock work, but also no chainsaws to clear the fallen trees, again, in those areas designated as "Wilderness" by the Congress. Out in the Wilderness, we drill by hand and cut the fallen trees with the old school crosscut saws (my personal saw is from NZ, one of the few "new" build saws that comes close to the antiques from the 50's and earlier in terms of quality). Its no different than when those of my great grandfathers generation logged off the Pacific Northwest by hand (4' trees were the 'small' ones)....or the WPA built the John Muir Trail through the Sierra Mountains in the 1930's (do an image search for "JMT Golden Staircase" if you want to see some impressive rock work). And sometimes, the old ways actually are more efficient overall. I can't imagine the logistic challenge of getting power equipment in 30+ miles from the nearest road over rugged mountain hiking trails. But I can imagine carrying a single jack, drill steel, feathers and wedges. Of course, when it makes sense, power tools are the go to choice - I'm no luddite. As a side note, a lot of Aussies and Kiwi's head this way in a normal (non-flu) April, for a place called Campo near the border with Mexico, in California. They hike up the 2650 mile long Pacific Crest Trail near the mountain crest running the length of Cali, Oregon and Washington and 8 miles into Canada and the end of the trail at Manning Provincial Park. Typical finish is late September. My local volunteer chapter works the north ~310 miles of the trail in cooperation with the Forest Service and Park Service.
@@tokencivilian8507 Yeah, that is wilderness.
Hahaha. Kmart vacuum cleaner.
Wonder if he could make a warranty claim???
Good day sir in our province we have scoria types of rocks is this possible to remove??
I don't think that plugs and feathers would work very well in scoria, explosives would probably not work very well either.
It only worked because of the red paint
Shhh....
👍
👍🏻👍🏻 You need to quit using the Yellow ones Fella.
Why does no one use the .22 blank method? You’d just need one hole
Where does the grease go?
Everywhere, the grease goes everywhere on everything
Especially when it is Black grease.
JCB haul it away..
Btw.... MAKITA ABUSE! Not the strongest of drills
Company drill I think...
My 240v Makita has suffered 18 years of abuse & apart from replacing a bearing is still going strong. I think I bought the 110v site drill in 1982 & have lost count of the number of 15-20mm holes its drilled through stone, concrete & brick walls.
Mind you, both are industrial, rather than domestic quality.
I also have a Makita I purchased in 1987, just a domestic handyman battery drill but still going!
but lift up the stone and carry it away 😃
