Devious Journal Entry

Thu Nov 19, 2009, 5:20 PM
  • Mood: Nervous
  • Drinking: I wish
Still alive, just not many projects going me way. Some'll just have to wait till after the holidays are over...

Still hoping some of my stuff sells from my forays into stores this season. Besides the money, it'd be nice to have a proper 'in' at the galleries. But hey, got a few dolls into my first juried show, that's nice.

Thought I'd swing by before Black Friday came and apologize that it's going to take me awhile to get through the impressive backlog on my watch. Sorry guys.

:wave: Hello again. Chatting with you at the show is part of the reason I'm checking in on dA. I tend to wander off it for awhile when I don't have much to post.

I got into a bit of trouble at the show. I was trying to be good... but yeah. Too much fun :blush: Picked up some gorgeous pietersite though.


How'd you do?

check that out, even less of an investment than a dremel w/shaft attachment, the shaft is probably fairly stiff and the pedal not as responsive as foredom made ones but the price offsets all of that...

You're right on that. Light too. I'm still thinking to try out my father's power tools first, see if I can adapt any of those.

Well I'm just showing it to you not saying you absolutely must buy one, but if you worked with a flexshaft
you'll see the difference between a real one and a dremel, though as you know, I only have a dremel as well, and a box full of really nice keyless foredom handpieces but no motors... anyway, if you have any power tool questions don't forget that i have 10 years experience in the trades ;) oh and i also have a question for you, being that you go to gemological (?name) shows, if i showed you what looks like a "slice" of agate would you be able to tell me what it is and around how much they go for?

The only drilling I did was with looking like a mini drill press, I have polished with both flex shaft and dremel though.

I'm not sure about the agate, I'll take a look, but I bet if you post it with the question someone will know it. That's what I did with my turitella agate.

:iconkubusrubus:
Good, so you're familiar enough with the tools to know what works for you then.
Ok, I'll post it in about 15min, i'm not even 100% sure that it's agate :|
