Now this is a great idea! Perhaps someone is willing to risk drilling their bloc to see if it can be done. However, you would need to drill through a long side so the rope would not rub on your skin. Clever idea for those of us who are alum bloc challenged.

You may be able to go in at an angle from the side and out the back. (Toe nail it.) If anybody tries I would use a masonry drill bit because a sharp metal bit might grab and crack the block in a vein or internal crack.. I don't know the properties of Alum but I bet there is a way to do it. I have drilled holes in just about everything from woods/metals/glass/and rock. I just never needed to bolt Alum to anything. What about an adhesive ? There has to be a Liquid Nails that would do it ! A flat piece of metal with an eye attached then glued to the alum. |-o

OMG.this thread is very strange,at least to me,you could pop rivitt a washer to the block,than tig weld a chain that go's around your neck to the washer,or you could adhiese a pce of velcro with an adhiesive backing and stick the sucker on your forehead,if you drop it in the sink and it has jagged edges,run hot water over it,in a minute it will be smooth as glass.
Ya know guys.upping your post counts should not be the end all be all.

lol...agreed. I did drop my alum bloc once and it broke. It was very disappointing, but I came up with the ultimate solution...I went and bought another.

Hmmm never thought about post counts. *makes note* cut posting in half at least.
