I bought some fittings to make some tiered plates. I've tried drilling through one plate and it snapped...has anyone made their own?

you will need a diamond tip drill bit. Usually about $20.00. Drill slow ! Adding a little cool water over the plate as you drill will help. Alternatively take your plates to a tile shop, smile and plead ignorance. The nice tile man may like to show you how clever he is and do it for you :)

Also a bit of masking tape over where you need the hole drilled. I took something similar to a glass place- cost $4 a hole, but that was a while ago now.

We consistently seek ways to improve upon our senior activity program, providing a diversified balance of a purposeful and enjoyable time of recreation, crafting, exercise and others to reach all of our residents. I must say, it's been a challenge. This past October I began researching options online and came across your site, subscribing for a year to see what you were all about. Let me tell you, you have not disappointed! Your site is a priceless resource that we are extremely thankful for. We find a significant increase in resident participation and look forward to the new ideas that each month brings. Our residents love the changes!
