Beware of large kit specials. They just stuff them full of cheap crap. The 300 piece or so set I got was comprised of mostly cheap cut-off discs that broke under any light stress. All you really need to start with a Dremel: -The Dremel tool, variable speed. -The "universal' chuck, which makes changing tools of different shaft sizes easier (small accessory) - a basic kit of bits: cutting, piecering(various sizes, they even have small detail bits, and drywall cutting -an amazing cutting disk: the re-enforced disks, they are grey, I think they have fiberglass - a carving ball. It's a small metallic ball with a spiraling lined pattern on it, it really works great hollowing stuff, rounding edges, and making orbits for eyeballs. -the flexible shaft (almost useless if you don't have a hook to hang the dremel higher, so install a hook on the ceiling or get a "tree". 3) I need a way to hang my chisels. All NYC hardware stores, sears, and home depot have failed me. any suggestions? I cant seem to find the classic wall solution anywhere. Why not go custom? A long narrow shelf, with holes bigger than the blades but smaller than the handles could do the trick. Otherwise, A set of magnets. See kitchen supply stores (especially for restaurants), they already have such a strong magnet system for kitchen knives. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yvette Edery" <art_goo-AT-yahoo.com> To: "new puptcrit" <puptcrit-AT-driftline.org> Sent: Tuesday, December 19, 2006 3:44 PM Subject: [Puptcrit] resource questions >a bunch of resource questions: > > 1) I just returned from marionette study in Prague and I can't seem to > find thick suede unfinished cord, the kind used to make joints, anywhere. > Does anyone have any suggestions? anyone who took the puppet workshop > there in the past find anything similar here? > > 2) I need to buy a dremel (I know, I know I should have one already) any > suggestions on models and accessories? > > 3) I need a way to hang my chisels.
