Instead of a Featured Artist today, I thought it would be fun to discuss tools. No, not those kinds of tools, I mean the tools you use for crafting or DIY projects.
My friend, who is very knowledgeable about these things, and I were discussing Flex Shaft Machines and other shop / studio equipment, that is used during the process of creating, art, molds, jewelry, sculpture and even household repairs.
A "Dremel" is a brand of Rotary tool. What's a rotary tool? It is a motorized shaft with a small accessory "heads" for sanding, buffing, polishing, cutting, drilling, etc. Mine are ancient! Here is what a new Kit looks like. Dremel Tool Kit.
Not all of them are heavy duty like that one. I was introduced to this cool little item during the conversation, and will share the videos with you now. Youtube, as I have learned, has a wealth of neat instructional and tutorial videos on just about anything and everything you can imagine.
This nifty little piece of equipment that allows you "hands free" work. The Dremel 2500-01 Multi-Vise
Here is an instructional video on the Multi-Vise
What started all this talk of tools and various uses and attachments? A Flex Shaft Machine. Here we see its uses in carving Green Jewelry Wax, as well as manual (hand-held) tools.
And I think that's all for today.
Thank you for stopping in and having a look. Questions and comments are always welcome. The weekend is almost here, we would like to wish you a pleasant day.
