I was out in the shed today an found a box of "good things". Many of which need the dremel treatment and i found my "bucket "o" foredom" today under the Christmas lights, another rabbit hole to steer away from at present. I have a how to lesson series i bout 20 years ago and have not got to yet. When I gave the Foredom to my son, it was not needing a bucket. Now I think i need a new drive cable besides a handpiece thats modern.

:lol: That's almost as bad as Steve having the motorcycle in the house for over 15 years. If he hasn't fixed it in 15 years, it's not going to be fixed. I assume the lesson series is in the same category, or are you thinking you've got time to watch it now? If so, better late than never. :mrgreen:

When I hit the wall on the Foredom following my "common sense" after i get parts, I'll dig it out. The pdf is in several hard drives. It's that whole room for a work bench thing. On top of the box of freezing and thawing stuff from the unheated outside canister was a 1 inch plus thick piece of the jasper wood where it goes from red centers to the cells to the other end being green mostly. Still has ash on the outside and its always what to do with it. There are cracks thru the wood so maybe its put off again until i get the cactus juice out. Too many projects for no room for any. Also some mexican geodes and arizona sunset slabs and pieces, it must have been a coming back from AZ box shoved to the side. I get more work done at shows than at home it seems. project availability and all.
