Does anyone know where a newbie can find some projects that are specific to the Dremel? Any books that have projects? Any good websites to go to? Any suggestions would be nice.

Thanks,

Tim

  Take your time, before long you will be inventing things to do with it!!   You might start up above with the Projects & Community link just for starters.

It's been about 20 yrs since I've done anything related to woodworking. I'm talking high school wood shop. Don't have a lot of time. I work for someone else full-time, I just started my own business, and I am married with four children. Not much time. Just want something to relax with. Thought a book of projects would give me a start. Thanks for the suggestion. I will check it out.

Hey Tim, just a thought, but one other thing you could do is look at the next topic under woodworking,"What do you all do with your Dremel?", or something like that, for some other ideas.

Excellent, thanks Barry! I haven't even been able to touch my Dremel since I made my first post.  So busy. I will give that a look. I appreciate your pointing it out. I hope to put my portable workstation together in the next week or so.
