Seems most of the sculptures Im working on right now are smaller than a quarter.
Here is an example with this California Fire Agate bee in the works. Only his right wing is showing in this picture as size example. The wings still need to be attached, so it looks a bit like this still yet. Hopefully it will improve in time, and I wont snap a wing trying to put it all together. I think Im going to forward a few of the bigger projects I have in the works, and give my fingers a break.......hehe Have to love the challenge though right? -------------------- Education is the key to the future,

For those interested in mounting their flex shafts into the homemade drip pan stations, I've taken a few close up pictures for details on how this proto type is put together.
In time I'll try to write up a list of parts used if anyone is interested in it. First pic shows the front view and hose clamp mounts as well as the pvc holder, in the later pics this is covered by the foam padding. Simply a bracket mount (bottom braced) with an adjustable top arm for multiple anlges while working. This one shows the pad added into the hose clamps which helps keep vibrations down. Even then, the hose clamps will slowly loosen with the work vibrations. A side view of the mounting bracket And finally with the flex shaft mounted in it. Just slide the flex shaft through both hose clamps so that you can still reach the collar nut for bit changes and the hold button for locking the shaft during bit changes. Our dremel motor is hung from a bracket above the drip pan set up to keep the shaft as straight as possible. Mrs.CP can tell everyone how the home made polishing brushes work since she's got a full set from medium grits through polish now. Happy carving and sculpting everyone.
