Hi,
Had another play with the Dremel this weekend, another go at piercing and a first 'bash' at carving - having acquired the flexi-drive on a 'sale or return' basis from George (Cornucopia).
The pierced one is steamed beech, about 8" across and 1 3/4" high. The pierced rim is about 1/12" thick (or thin)
The carved and pyrographed one is ash, 7" wide, 1 1/2" high and deliberately 'chunky'.
These are more trial pieces from my 'to do' list, I've got loads of things I want to try and no time for the vast majority of them.... at least I won't be bored when I retire, assuming my pension is ever actually worth anything!
Cheers,
Neil.
