I have a bunch of holey rock.  It is fairly light, and has a ton of little holes in it.  Some pieces do not have large holes in the middle, and some do but I want to enlarge them or alter them a little.  The stuff seems soft enough that I could take my largest drill bit I do not care about and carefully drill a few holes... has anyone ever done this?  Or use a chisel.

Thanx,
Ross

No problem at all.  Keep in mind that lava rock and holey rock can split easily, so drilling is better and let the drill do the cutting.  Go slow.  Shouldn't be too hard.
