Tank Drilling Meeting
By Steph1643 @ 3:28 PM :: 75 Views :: 0 Comments :: :: Cedar Rapids/Iowa City Area

Check out pictures in the gallery!

Saturday February 23rd we will be meeting at 1:00 to discuss and practice drilling tanks.
Jason (glaspie) and Caleb (calebjk) will be talking about two different ways to drill a tank.
We will be drilling JB's 29 bow, hoppers 60 hex, and benjis.
If you are getting a hole drilled with a dremmel you need to buy and bring a grout removal bit for the dremmel.


After we are finished drilling tanks, we can head over to Buffalo Wild Wings if people are interested (club is NOT paying). Looking forward to a fun meeting; don't forget eye and ear protection, safety first!
