Need to rent a BIG ELECTRIC DRILL in Yukon

[druryj]

My wife has given me instructions to hollow out a couple of old tree stumps so she can use them as planters. I need to rent a big, powerful electric drill and drill holes about 1/2" apart in the stump with a spade bit then finish the job with a wood chisel and a lot of hard work. Where in Yukon/Mustang can I rent something to do the job? Anybody here got something I could use? I'd much rather pay an OSA member than some rental place. Text me at 405-227-4270 please.

Soooo.... Surber's head is out of the question? Sorry, had to. Crosslands, if no one here has one.

A drill isn't the tool for this job. You need a wood cutting attachment to use on an angle grinder. I have the attachment and a grinder here in Mustang if you want to borrow it. You won't believe how fast the job will go compared to drilling holes in the stumps.

Surbers dome is too hard; would break the stumps up. I need something sharp; not a dull old granite-head.

Have you used this much? How hard is it to control?

Yes I used it making furniture. Made a desk & chair from hard maple & used the carver to scoop out the chair seat. With both hands on the grinder it was as easy to control as using my weed eater.

PM sent, thanks for the offer!

If you elect to go with a BIG drill, be very careful. They can eat you alive before you can say spit.

Thanks! I'm gonna order one. Been looking for something like this for awhile.

UPDATED: here's the stumps before being hollowed out[Broken External Image]and here they are after much work. Success! I was able to use an angle grinder with a wood cutting blade, a good wide wood chisel and a BFH to pound hell out of it. It was a lot of damn work but wife is happy. Sure gave me a new level of appreciation for the Early Native Americans who would hollow out a damn giant azz log to make a dug-out canoe using sharp rocks and old clam shells.
