5/ hardenable steel, how to file the face of it, and how to harden and quench it. Then it's simple: just hold the star drill in one hand as a [ very very very ] trusted friend swings a sledge hammer right at the top of the drill. Rotate the bit around 1/4 turn w each strike

Loading seems to be taking a while.
Twitter may be over capacity or experiencing a momentary hiccup. Try again or visit Twitter Status for more information.
Another line would be to ask to see Gnon's stone chicken coup, since it's apparently a $20 weekend hobbyist project.
It's pretty, but it's a giant amount of work.
