Michiel Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Hello to everybody! I finaly found some time to work with my Dremel with flexishaft. It is realy a complete different way to shape the lines and for some tasks i still prefer my files, but i guess with some practice I will get used to it more. The second thing i tried was working with magnifying glass. That was a different experience, i just could not get used to the strange differences to normal sight. Distances and angles looked complet different. Will i ever get used to that? So i started with some horn and tried to go on with a design i did befor. After that i wanted to try some easy 3 dimensional work - it was not so easy as i thought it would be. I still have to finnish my little elf and i hope i learn the skills to complete the missing tasks! ;-) At this stage i had a real hard time deciding to continue or start finnishing it - I went on, but hope i can make another one in this style. I like it! It is a present for my brother. I hope you like it and any thought is wellcome! Thanks to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Hi Michiel. I'll only user my rotary tool for rough shaping. I always finish with files and sandpaper. I don't think you'll ever get a better result with your dremel alone. I use reading glasses when carving. I have a 1x for normal work and some detail, and i often use a 2.5x for finer detail. I find it gives you a good view of the detail you're working on, but you don't lose sight of the piece as a whole. Billy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt K Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Looks good for a first time experiment. I'm coming the other way round into this game. I had been using only dremel and Sanding-paper until recently, Recently, I'm experimenting with softer material and find that desdpite all tne practice with the dremel, it's too easy to miss-step when it comes to finer details.
