Is there anyone in Ashburn that drills holes?

I am too chicken to do it myself.

What size tank and do you have the drill bits to do the job? Do you know where you want the holes drilled?

10 gallons, I don't have any drill bits, I do know where I want 'em

I'm in sterling. I shattered my first 10g (2 panes on 2 attempts) attempt, but was successful on the 2d one. 10g tanks are hard because the glass is so thin.

 

I used a pair of clamps and a piece of wood behind where I was drilling to help keep the glass from flexing - this is how I was successful. I have hole saw for 3/4" bulkheads if you want.

I would love that! Do you want anything for it? Or, can I just borrow it? If so, when can I pick it up? I drive through there every day.

Thanks,

Russ

You can have it - it has 2 hole cuts on it already, should be good for 1 or 2 more, especially thin glass like a 10g, and I have no more need for it.

 

I work on Rt. 28 just south of the Dulles Town Center, or in the evenings I'm usually home by 7.

Can I pick it up tomorrow on my way home from work? I get out around 4:30. If so, could I have a number to call you at when I'm on my way?

Thanks,

Russ
