Dremel After Dinner 6:30 - 9:30 Thursday and Friday Thomas Ashman $145
Student Level: All levels welcome/Beginner
Type of Workshop: Process
Prerequisite: None
This is a 6 hour workshop taught on two evenings.
So you bought a Dremel Tool, with all those crazy attachments and bits, and the unbridled versatility of this amazing device has left you more than a little bit confused, or even intimidated. Fear not my friends, for this course will turn a Dremel Novice into a Dremel Master. I will explain all the basic workings of the tool, chucks, collets, and how to change bits and brushes. We'll go over what many of the different tips and bits can do, such as drilling, cutting, buffing, sanding, grinding, polishing, carving, engraving, and a few of the specialty bits and attachments like tools that can drill and cut glass or stone (diamond bit/cutter required). Students will not only get a demonstration of these tools and several of their myriad uses on all kinds of materials, but should bring along a variety of supplies to practice on, as there will plenty of quality hands-on time for you and your new tool. We will also cover using a Dremel drill press and basic safety for rotary tools. For more info, visit www.blacksheepartist.com.
