i want a dremel but don't have enough money in my budget to buy one :(
nice carving for a first timer.
ant what do you use to burn the wood?
you use a little hand held gas burner to burn the wood :lol:

there is another type of machine the same as a dremel this one cost me $20 and all the bits fit just fine

Glad you guys have enjoyed, we did and there will be more to come! Gabrielle is in Italy at the moment so i had to go at it myself. Even though it is my tree i feel guilty for doing so. Next year might have to let him rip back into it. I said might??? :lol: :lol: :lol:

As for the cheaper carvers, well if you can get that sort of warranty and keep replacing them go for it. I would find it fustrating. I also question as to wether or not you guys have attempted olives and prunus with those carvers. Especially if there is deadwood on them already. Bloody hard going for a dremel let alone less??? :D 8-) ;)
