Bowling Ball Fountain

Step 2 Tools

I used the following tools to create my fountain. Appropriately many were gifts from Papa RadBear.

• Dremel (with cut off wheels & grinding drums)
• Reciprocating saw (9" general use blade and 4" metal cutting blade)
• Drill
• 3/4" Masonry drill bit, 13" in length
• Assorted drill bits of varying diameters
• Electric sander (60 and 120 grit sandpaper)
• Hack saw
• Bench vise
• Drill bit sizer
• Flashlight
• Tape measure
• Scissors
• Utility Knife
• 5 pound sledge hammer
• Ballpean hammer
• Chisel
• Pliers
• Ball holder
• Dust collection box

The reciprocating saw and dust collection system aren't absolutely necessary...they just make life a little easier.

A note on safety. Wear respritory and eye protection for this one. Drilling and cutting bowling balls kicks up a lot of dust and crap. It doesn't smell good either so that is probably a sign it isn't too healthy to breathe.
