Update to Wax Carving Bench

I just added a few more pictures and updated the Wax Carving Post in the TOOLS section. I installed a Foredom tool hanger on the right side. The base bracket is too large to fit on the top edge and there was no existing place on the side that was suitable. I created a new bracket from a 1x4x18 in re...b2ap3_thumbnail_DSC04670.jpg

The Little Things

I am gathering more tools. I just added a GRS bench pin to my collection. It's a bit of an extravagant spend for such a device but I am allowed to spoil myself.

Foredom

I just purchased my first Foredom rotary flex shaft tool. I have been aware of the tool for as long as I can remember. Being an avid model builder I always thought I would own one someday.  I guess after 66 years that day has arrived. I usually use a Dremel tool (I think I have three) and that ...b2ap3_thumbnail_b_350_234_16777215_00_images_tools_Foredom_DSC00330.jpg
