If you have a vase or pot which would be suitable for bonsai except for not
having a drainage hole, here's a procedure which you can use:
First, drill a tiny hole with your smallest size bit. Next, take an ice
pick and gently tap around the hole to make it larger. When you've gotten
to the point where it's almost large enough, you will find that some
chipping has occured. Take a rat file ( small round file) and rub the edges
of the hole until smooth. I've done dozens of holes like that and have lost
only one or two pots.

Subject: [IBC] Cascade Pot


We have a couple potters around here so I asked one who wasn't too sure
about cascade pots till I picked up a beautiful round vase about 8" tall
and told her these with a hole in the bottom would be perfect. She is now
going to make me several different sizes & charge like they were cups &
vases. Try small pottery shops near you.
