Grab one at walmart. It is a very relaxing hobby. I just started myself, I got one for $30 with 150 attachments. I'm trying to get my wife to try it out. I'm 49yrs. old and she is 22yrs. old.

I'm new to Dremels, but this thing has been great. kzbin.infoUgkxfPgcZ5_Cl0HDUKkMJAKde11YKQZVgMoR The variable speed is awesome and the cordless aspect makes it so easy to work with. I am constantly finding uses for it that make tasks easier. Recently I put in a new deadbolt on one of our doors. I knew I had to enlarge the hold where the deadbolt goes into the door frame. At first I thought I would have to get a big router and figure out how to use it for that, but then I rermembered we have the dremel. I was able to enlarge the hole almost as easy as if I was drawing with a pen. It's also great for grinding our dog's nails done and so many other household tasks.

[@joannemates6367]

Wow. What a difference!! I’m only just learning to use my Dremel. This was really helpful. Cheers, from Country Victoria. Australia. ✌️

[@RubenWoodcraft]

That's a neat trick. I do mostly manual carving where you would clean this up with a gouge and soms scrapers. I suggest looking at the scraper set by flex cut. It wil save you a lot of time sanding and can create a perfect finish.

[@spaced4448]

Easy to make from an old hard point saw. Saves 60 quid.

[@RubenWoodcraft]

@@spaced4448 well yes if you have basic metal working tools.

[@brentstone3104]

I'd go with recessed space but keeping the pinky as balance and a off hand finger as a guide from just watching this as a newbie is key. Prolly shouldn't start with this as I did though lol patience and slow small cuts with that technique is fun.

The most useful Dremel Trick is use sandpaper by hand instead of the Dremel to do finish work. 🥸 Got it!

[@paulorlando5877]

I usually just wrap a little piece of sandpaper around a pencil and use it like an eraser, works pretty good.

[@CorneliusCreations]

[@cameobabec968]

Thanks for the info. I'm going to get a couple of those burrs. Lol! I was going to turn the volume down during for the part where you were sanding with the inverted cone head burr but I have a dog that I suspect is going deaf and never pays attention to sounds from my computer even if it's a dog whining or barking, but while I was watching you use the dremel he sat up in my lap and kept tilting his ears toward the sound for that entire segment so now I know he can still hear some things!

All four stages shown here can be reduced to one by using mini scrapers, which are easily made from old hacksaw blades. You'll end up with a planed finish to the negative space and a lot sharper definition at the edges.

Wrap sandpaper over the end of that file and sandpaper can now get anywhere that file can go.

[@chriscapello7423]

Just to throw it in there. If you plan on finishing the wood, I wouldn't recommend jumping from 120 to 220. You won't be able to hide the scratches created by the 120 it will show through the finish especially if it is stained or colored. Don't skip grits 120-150-180-220

[@hurdygurdyguy1]

I would've thought to put the rotary tool into a router-like jig to secure it at a fixed depth to smooth the negative space...

[@RomanKhuzin824]

I was thinking the same cause to get it as straight as that using freehand takes awhile to get a good hang on it. Knowing myself that engraving will get quite deep by time I straighten it out. Cause i would by accident make a deeper spot and then have to drop everything else to that depth. Or worse start on one end with 1/8 depth and slope it down to a quarter on the other haha. Well atleast I'm working on my patience. That's always a plus

[@davogifman542]

Hey C.C.! If you don't mind me adding something that has helped me a lot,but I got in trouble with my gf at first lol. My lil' secret weapon against negative areas (Emery Boards) LoL That's how I got in trouble with my girlfriend; I used her last new one,and they're easy to custom cut however you want to; just use a utility knife,or a good pair of shop scissors. You may have to experiment some,but their very cheap; a pack of 5 cost me about $2.25 after taxes. A new one is about the same as 80 grit sandpaper,and one slightly used is around 100 to 120 grit an so on. If I need a high grit for a very smooth finish; I'll trim the emery board however I need it to be an then I'll use double sided tape to apply say 220 maybe even 400 if I'm not going to stain the finish piece; after taping just trim to fit,and you're all set. Also play around with textured design in your negative areas. An lately I've been using colored epoxy too; it takes a while with the drying time,and the sanding to a smooth finish,but the results are awesome. Sorry about the long write. An thanks C.C. for the informative video upload I enjoy watching,and learning from them; great info without any unnecessary filler,or hype. 😎👍

Nice. I was thinking, if you wrapped the sandpaper around the head of the file, do you think that might offer more control and even sanding? I picked up Dremel art a few years ago. Only made a few items, but would love to get back to creating some unique pieces.

[@NewYorkMetalDetecting]

Good video. Just curious.... after cleaning up the negative space it seemed as though some of the outline became less bold. If you wanted to sharpen the beveled edges, what would you use at this point?

[@CorneliusCreations]

You have to lightly carve it again, sometimes wrong sandpaper technique can do this.

[@robinmc8200]

Now after watching you using sand paper hasnt dremel come out with a shaft you could wrap the paper around or could you cut a deeper groove in the empty shafts that come with it

Yes they have one of those, but it can’t compare to hand finishing with hand sanding
