I really need to get a flex shaft since I did that with my clunky old Dremel and now my forearm is numb. I plan on adding more branches to the other sides, once I get the feeling back. I swear I’ll get all these etching pieces I’ve been working on in the shop soon…

I started doodling on this candle holder with my Dremel last night and this is the first of two candle holders I made during my break from woodburning. The pictures aren’t that good because Adam had his “more-expensive-than-anything-else-we-own-so-be-careful-when-you-use-it” camera with him since he was using it at the Much Music Video Awards last night.

I made one of these candle holders from some discarded glass pencil holders a while back and gave it to Emily (people around me usually end up with the over-spill of my creative adventures) and I decided to make some more this weekend to take a break from burning. I printed out the script on paper and taped it to the inside of the cup, then used a dremel and a diamond point tip to engrave the script using the printed paper as a guide. I took the paper template out, popped in a tealight and Voila! I actually really like the way they turned out.
