    Suggestions on burs for a foredom

    Foredom makes a hand piece that will go up to 1/4" but it is only available for the square shaft machine. There is a hand piece called the "Mastercarver #79220" that will fit on a Foredom shaft (or any other foredom styled machines) that will go up to 1/4" (maybe 5/16, but I didn't measure)...

    Suggestions for a mini-mill

    I have a Unimat SL that converts from a lathe to a mill. I got it 30 years ago with the intention of using it for making wax models but it ended up sitting on a shelf all this time.

    Do you believe God?

However, smoking is not spelled out in the Ten Commandments. But, something similar is spelled out in the Old Testament--the Hebrew dietary laws. At the time...

    Do you believe God?

    I have been reared with the Old Testament and have never read or studied the New testament, but I do have some questions. I agree that it is very hypocritical to sin, ask for salvation, and then sin again. My question (and this is a biggie) is---What is sin? I was taught that if you...

    Wow, I feel like I have been in a graduate class for knifemaking. Your planning and execution of this knife is nothing short of phenomenal.
