Landscaping/DIY-ish question

6 inches is enough. I'll use my old electric Craftsman drill rather than the cordless.

I was using an electric craftsman i inherited from my grandfather.

Here is a grinding wheel that has a chainsaw chain on it. I have seen the guys who carve animals from logs use them.

Lancelot 22 Tooth Chain Saw Blade for 4 1/2 inch angle grinders by King Arthur's Tools

that will work... will probably need to be sharpened often though.

Get an auger bit, not a spade bit. They're more expensive, but they last a lot longer and they're a lot faster.

Something like this...

You'll need a 1/2 inch drill to run it...

Rent a stump grinder for the local tool rental company. Depending on the size of the stump it shouldn't take more than 30min - 1 hour and take it down as far as possible then cover with dirt. Using the right tools from the beginning and will save you a ton of hassle.

Get a really big lathe, big enough to chuck the planet in (probably want a 4 jaw chuck), then once you've centered it, spin it up to about 500 rpm and bring a left hand finishing blade in from the end and face it. You're not boring a gun barrel here, so precision isn't that important. Might want to take a few passes at that depth. Once you're done, hurry up and put the planet back before anyone notices.

Ive done that before. Chainsaw is the preferred tool.

Circular saw. Just start sawing away back and forth.

Another idea, blow torch the spot out you want. Rest isn't likely to just burst into flames and hose it of when finished.

Be wary of steam depending on how fresh the cut is if you do this.

That could work well but may buck a bit. Careful on downward cuts like that.

I drilled holes in the ones in my yard then put the bird feeder hangers in the holes.

What'sa matter, don't cha want the business?

I think my blow torch idea is much cooler though

I knew INGO could put up a few pages on a simple question but 4 is impressive

4? I am still on page one.

You read slowly.
