it kind of looks like a foredom but at that price who cares who makes it as long as works. if its anything like a foredom the speed is easy to control with the foot pedal..go ahead pull that triggger

sorry about the two post. i was trying to get the link to work...

over the years i have went thought lots of Dremels and a couple Foredoms for the type work i do.i'd put my money on a Foredom but if you need something better i would go with a NSK presto aqua 2.it is what i have used for about two year and i can say its the best. you can use water for cooling when working on metal, bone, ivory, glass, when working on leather you don't have to use water..its a little on the high side but its hard the beat..but if you don't need the water for cooling they have a NSK presto2 with out the water for cooling.. http://www.avtecdental.com/cart.php?m=product_list&c=39 you can see the two at the bottom of this page..

Clay, if your on your way to Austrailia maybe you can make a stop here in Hawaii and have a class. if not on the way over. maybe on the way back its a long flight.. and you can't go home with out some mac nuts and kona coffee and maybe we can use you to try to plug up our volcano at the same time

i never thought to strop my blades.. thats why i did the exacto knife thing the way i did.. to keep new sharp blades in at all times.. because they do get dull pretty fast.. when i was looking into how to change my exacto knife holder to hold more blades...i was trying to think now time is money and thats why i did it that way. but i'm sure there may be better ways . but this seems to work pretty good for me.. thanks for the strop idea.. Rawhide,how is the best way to clean the residue that get between the blades when you strop them?

Rick, i had to cut the ring that tightens the blades in half.. then i filed the part that holds the blades. i have one handle that will hold 6 to 8 blades ..i don't use it that much i work on a lot more smaller stuff.the thing you would have to do is cut the ring smaller the more blades you use.. the good thing is when you need to change blades its like changing one blade.. put in how many you want and tighten the handle down... no gluing blades together.. this is just what i do.. i like some of the other ideas i see here to..and they look a lot more pretty than what i use.. but what ever work for you..

need a little help. i know i read some place on this forum about a new line of tools siegel are offering .. i went to their site and couldn't find any thing .. if any one knows the link can you help me out..

Rick, heres one i madeout of a old xacto knife and some #11 blades. i tryed more blades but i find i have more control on smaller stuff with less blades..

i do alot of pyro work if you want a good burner you may want to look into a Optima 1 or a Optima 1 dual. with the dual you can run more than one pen at a time.there are other burners out there but i like the optima because of its pens that seem to last a lot longer than some of the other burners i have had.. just my two cents and what i use http://www.carvertools.com/

well i have worked for myself for the last 30+ years.as a handengraver and scrimshaw artist. its a job that i have always loved..i always thank God for letting me have a job that i really love to do. it make life so much better..i have put 6 kids thought collage carving metal and ivory..about a 2years ago i did a job that ended up paying me with a whole bunch of leather tools..that is what started me on my way to learning leather.then i found this site best thing that ever happen..

well heres my rides first my 2002 Harley Davidson F150 next is a picture of my real baby my 97 cobra only driven on sunny days weekends only. and my wifes yellow 2002 GT convertible. after she took it away from me

USA Hawaii, but you hear some peaple talking when they come here.talking about what they are going to do when they get home to the states if we are not a state i wish they would stop taking my taxes

has anyone seen Storm on here lately use to hear from him all the time. just can't get him on the PM.. i sure hope he's okay...

Kate, what wax finish do you use over your Eco-Flo?

Have a Hau'oli La Ho'omaikai from all of my family. to all yours. have a great day!!!

Now your talking lets have 2 terms or 8 years and your OUT!!!! FOR EVERYONE...hell i think they have some in there that worked for George Washington when he was in office..time to go..and how about some thing that says they must come home and hear what we want.. not only when its time to get reelected....

thanks Ian, as of last week.. i was out of here at the end of this year... it looks like its time for some of that welfare that everyone been getting.. to come my way.. hell, why not its my turn.. maybe they offer a training program in leather work ...

oh ya lets all suffer to gather.. thats sounds like a lot of fun.. hell with a no vote yesterday my IRA THAT I WORKED ALL MY LIFE FOR. Went out the door.. whating to made a point.. that we don't like fat cats make lots of money.. say maybe i can come take my retirement at your house.now that i don't have any thing left in my IRA.. Or when your company you work for can't make payroll any more..Oh ya,,then we can all get to gather and talk sh#% about our GOV.and the fat cats and how much fun were having suffering to gather.. I THINK ALL THE FAT CATS IN OUR GOV. AND WALL STREET SHOULD GO TO JAIL!!!! Hell even it i could save whats left of my IRA (take it and run)I can't because if i do our Gov. will tax the sh#% out of whats left....

well living close to the ocean i'll have to say any kind of raw fish or raw octopus would be at the top of my list..that and some poi will do me right and make me happy

you know i'm with Bree on this..to me (Palin) is the only REAL person out of the whole bunch running..because she thinks she can really make a differants.(but that will never happen)The peaple on the tube ..and the peaple in our GOV. won't let it happen..thats how they think of all of us dumb, and clueless. and that we will take what ever they what us to hear and what ever they want to give us..and we'll be happy about it..maybe one day when they(both parties) run this country in to the ground(coming soon if not already here) we will all take our heads out of our (you know what) and take our country back. until then good luck to everyone..we are going to need it..this is just my two cents. good stuff WVTriker!!! God help us...

thanks Jordan, for the recipe.. i remember my mom putting a chunk of salt pork into each dumpling then cooking it the way you said..i'm one of those scandahoovian from Minni sota .... went of to war after high school.. married a Hawaiian girl and never got to go back home. gave up lutefisk for raw fish thanks again for the memories...

How that brings back lots of memories. meatballs, Lutefisk, lefsa, and klug with lots of butter on it. do you have a recipe for klug been trying for years to get one. don't live any where near this kind of food any more. and my mom took it with her when she died.. fryed sliced klug leftovers for breakfast my mouth is watering..

are you kidding me its going up again?our prices just started coming down from the last storm it was up to $4.67 and 2 days ago when i filled up. and i thought that $4.33 was low..here when it goes up the price changes ever day.. but when it goes down its 1 or 2 cents every other week.. how does that work i'm with you it really really sucks.....
