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,

Actually Dick that's a great coolant for the larger saw which operates outdoors and can be used to as cold of a temperature as I can stand to be out in operating the saw. However since the dremel is used indoors and also splashes the user during operation quite a bit then I'd say it's better to just use water as we do. Denise was just kidding around about the lower temp operating range because the unit was stored outdoors and had some ice in the bottle. Normally there is not an issue using the dremel set up with water even in cold temps. It just needs to be done indoors, yesterday for example never reached over 40 degrees outside but yet I drilled 10 holes in seperate stones with the dremel.

Hi Cp and Mrs CP:
Sorry, That was meant as a joke. You could very likely freeze your fingers trying to work a stone with the temps below freezing. Thats why I put the laughing picture after the reply. Just have to wait till spring or move into a heated area. By the way the rough grinder I'm building is coming along nicely and I'll post a picture when I get it done. I do have a question though. About black and green grinding wheels for preforming rough. I was under the impression that the green wheels are for grinding carbide tools and the black is for grinding stone, but the information on ebay seems to say that either type can be used for cabbing. I plan to use a 100 / 120 and a 220 grit wheel on the grinder I'm building right now. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Dickb |
