Wow, that sounds like a pretty cool weekend to me. What kind of tool =20
did the hotelier devise--that sounds impossible! The only way I know =20
to get the long studs out when they break at the bottom is to make a =20
pilot bushing to center a drill onto the broken stud, use a long =20
(jobber length) drill bit to drill a hole in the stud, weld an easy-=20
out to a drill rod and weld a T-bar onto the other end, insert the =20
easy out and pray while you turn. All that takes several hours.
Where do I find a hotelier like that?
