Today was my adventure in learning to use a drill press at the Bishop Show. The instructor was Tom Walden, and he taught us so many great techniques. I can see a whole new world of minis opening up for me. I bought the set-up that holds the Dremel I already had (there are more accessories in a bag and it’s obviously not fully set up here…just home from the show).
We did inlay and mortise and tenon. Tom did the pin routing curve cut for me since I couldn’t get a feel for it and didn’t want to ruin my inlay piece. :D I’ll just need to practice.
We routed edges and so much more. :] He encouraged photos and note-taking, so I have a lot of good material for continued study. I highly recommend this class, but it sells out quickly.
After class, I headed to the 3 Blind Mice show for opening night. I love this show — always a good mix of goodies in need of discovery.
A Little More in Miniatures. Crazy daisies kit.
All About Miniatures. Doors and a seltzer set. Greg has a whole room full of goodies!
Gayle Dolls. A wonderful strombrella kit.
JoAnne Roberts. Always a wonderful selection of fabrics.
