[QUOTE="RickieB, post: 313820, member: 2486"]Well if I read this correctly you have a life size porcelian pig filled with coins form years and years ago. First and foremost, take physics into account! That pig is old, it is heavy, and the porcelian may not take the stress of a drilled hole into the belly of the pig. The chances are pretty good that if you breach the integrity of that Pig from below, the entire belly will be lost due to the mass being centered in that area. If it were me I would take it from the point of the least amount of stress. I understand the value of the Pig as well and would not breach the face but instead I would breach the rear of the Pig..yep ya got it! Give it a real poop shoot so to speak. The rear legs will support the hole and collaspe or severe fracture is reduced greatly! Just my two cents worth! Good luck and share the pics...:smile RickieB[/QUOTE]
