Thanks My friends,just a couple of points how is it on vibration and noise levels Mal

I have the chance of one never been used quite cheep and also have the chance of a second hand variable speed delta. I am looking for a reasonably quite machine with little vibration and easy blade change , for cutting stand up puzzles What would be your choice Mal

Does anyone have experience with the dremmel work station please Mal

Morning guys I wouldn't be without my sanding mops I have four all different grades of abrasives and all that I have made myself . My son owns a small woodworking company and just can't believe the finish I am able to get so quuickly.Mal

just a couple more for you to coment on one that seems to be dragging on but I have got to be in the mood to carve my latest Bulldog. Mal

Hi guys thanks for all the loverly comments it makes it all worth while.I'm afraid i find it difficult to do Intarsia as I have acensial tremmers pritty bad so I find it much easies to do sculpured segmentation, .I have a tip for anyone sufering from the same thing as I do. First nail a piece of 1/4" ply wood on the wood you are about to use in all four corners.Then stick on the patern, drill a entry hole cut roud the outside of the piece, cut the ouside of the piece you are makin.now you have a ready made backer. Take the remandwer of the scrap ply of then atach another piece of scrap ply on the back again, now put the backer back in and now you have a place to put you cut pieces, I think you will agree with me if you have a bad tremmer you cut the pieces and try to keep them all together and if you do shake and knock a piece it's only the one and replacing the backer raises your work a 1/4" making it easier to get at the pieces.Hope helps some one out there I got so fedup with trying to but pieces back together again Mal PS forgot to say I use soft wood all the time including the round frame and use a pyrography pen to give textured afect.The back piece on the bulldog and airdale are all burnt but I do make my own pens and wire nibs

Evening folks I have just spent some time updating my photobucket album.I have decided to do a couple of craft fairs this year and I am a the present time consentrating on cutting and framing them all together. I hope you like what I have made and welcome your honest coments Mal
