wood Thickness

It may seem that I've moved to the FUN zone permanently but I have never left my favourite hobby. I've been at scrolling for about 5 years and just been reminded about something I learnt way back and had obviously forgotten.

I made the Fire Steamer for myself, took about 7 hours over 4 days, then with some spare time I did the Life Cycle in about 2 hours using some waste wood.  I never took the wood thickness into account before starting. Lucky enough the steamer is BB in about 6mm, whilst the other one is BB in about 3mm. If it had been the other way I would not be a happy camper. I can twist and bend the second one very easily. With the steamer there were very many thin and weak islands, i ended up with only 1 breakthrough but it could have been so much worse.

I dont know what to do with the life cycle but the steamer is mine. I still have to add in some embellishments to the pump and for that reason I bought myself a new Dremel 7750. This will supplement the generic rotary tool that I've had for 4 years. This information is purely boasting. I live alone so I never have to answer that question; 'What Do You Need ANOTHER Tool For'
