I will soon need to #drill a "blind" hole in an #obsidian sphere (to use it as a knob for a cane) hole diameter ~12 mm, depth, say 50 mm. Anyone can give me some hints what to use (#diamond #drill I guess, but I cannot find one) and how to do it, so I would not spoil the material?

Hm~ once you have a hole, do you intend to mount a (wooden?) cane rod in it using wooden wedges?

I started to wonder whether adhering things to obsidian by heating it to ~its glass transition temperature would work and gotten nerd sniped into reading about metal-glass seals. Thanks.
