dremel tool

Last week, I touched the topic of saving your Dremel tool from the retiree bin by replacing the brushes. This week, I’d like to follow up on my personal top five Dremel tool uses. These aren’t attachment specific, though I do mention the flex-shaft. These top five are simply the things I find myself reaching for my Dremel for in order to create my wood art. Let’s get started!

Early in the new year would allow us the chance to get together for the holidays, but not interrupt other obligations we had with work or in-laws!

drying house

At the beginnings of Schaedings, I made the realization that I was going to need a dust-free zone. My space and budget were limited, so I decided to build my own Drying House. When I say Drying House, I mean a designated, sealed area where dust cannot enter.

This post is for all those out there who have the perfect game plan, only to have it rewritten a time or two!

My eldest sister asked for a temporary jewelry holder to organize all of her jewelry. She provided a scrap 1″ x 2″ x 8″ furring strip. I was excited to get going on the design and couldn’t wait to get it cut and framed up!
