Wade, i would not laugh if it turns out that you are commanding good money for your sculptures. I wish that I had the talent to be a movie star or whatever.

Back in 2001 when I was working for E.F. Lea Electric at the Coca-Cola plant in Twinsburg, Ohio I used something like a spot welder only it was a stud welder for welding 1/4-20 threaded stainless steel to other stainless steel objects with out having to drill holes. It ran on a 120-volt extension cord just like small spot welders. Stainless steel is very tough to drill. It is a very abrasive metal and when it heats up it gets harder and harder. You need to use a cobalt steel drill bit, lubricant e.g. thick hand lotion with both grease and water, and pretend that you are drilling into frozen beef without generating enough heat to thaw out the beef stainless steel will drill as easily as frozen beef. If you fight with stainless steel it fight back and will destroy your drill bit. Some of the other employees did destroy drill bits because they were not patient enough to take their time and just pushed harder and harder.
