Now when one has already gotten a stone, then he will have to make sure that he exposes the rough edge of this rock. Now he must know that the flat part does not have the ability to cut the metal to make it sharp. Now if one would want to get the rough part out, then he would have to half the stone.

To do this, one must first get his hands on a big nail and of course a hammer. Now he will be using the hammer and the nail to break the initial exterior of the rock so that he may be able to get into the interior. Now all he has to do here is to stick the nail in the middle of the stone and hammer it all the way in.
