/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>Dremels can do anything!

They can't hammer, like in the old TV ads.

>what have you done?

What haven't I done with a Dremel? Engraving, glass work, and polishing I've not done.

>what are you thinking of doing?

More stock removal, knife making for kitchen applications. I love those super thin knives made from old crosscut saws and ulus from old circular saw blades.

>what went wrong?

Dremels overheat too easily. Single speed ones are much better. Variable speed ones have no duty cycle to speak of, like 2/10 duty cycle before overheating.

>what went right?

Lots of stuff. But, if I ever rake up enough money, I'll buy a Foredom rotary tool instead of these 10-12 Dremels I have laying around. Thankfully most of those were gifts.

Everyone needs a hook knife.

Those are really sweet. Saving for further DIY inspiration. I've been wanting to make a draw knife from a circular saw blade. I just recently got a bunch of 50+ year old blades I'll be turning into knives and tools soon.

Here's some of the stuff I've posted before on /diy/ all put into one image. It shows degrees of quality since I was learning as I went. The large spoon and the sickle are the most recent of these images. It's pretty cool making tools from the tools you already made.
