Oh yea!
So I bought this lil guy with a few add-ons..
Dremel 4000-3/34 120-Volt Variable Speed Rotary Tool Kit
Dremel 689-01 11-Piece Rotary Tool Carving and Engraving Kit
Dremel 225-01 Flex Shaft Attachment
Through Amazon, I saved $150.00 and had free shipping!
The idea behind getting one of these: power carving.
How is that going so far? Well, I have put a sanding attachment on and I sanded the edges of that football I posted. It went well. The tool was smooth and didn't have have kickback and saw dust went everywhere! Yes, I was sanding in my recliner and yes I made a mess. I also put on a small carving tool and practiced my handy work on some scrap wood. Not the best at free hand script but I will work on it.
I am wanting to be able to write on the back on my items:
Hand carved for you by B. Ade
date
I've also thought that maybe down the road I could use an electric wood burner to stamp that on the back. I used one of those way back in the day in my dad's garage when he was making something. I don't even remember what I was making but I remember it was fun to watch the wood smoke.
