Not sure if this is the right place to put this. Here is what this novice has been working at for few days. The vase was with my old dremel and the inlays with my really quiet Ex16 that cam in Wednesday. Wow what a difference.
On the inlay, I was confused about tilt. I could not get pieces to fit. Not even close. Read and re-read directions and the inlay challange comments and making those little box cutouts. I had totally missed the association between tilt and cut direction (cw or ccw) and one of the posts mentioned it. I finally got that straight and did a duck inlay in both directions. The one with hole in beak was 1st one that I did. I just used some plywood on these for practice. I do plan on doing one completely with real wood.
I think I dulled 1 blade doing these 2. Is that possible (#5pgt-Olsen)?
This was lot harder than I thought and a lot of fun.
Great site & great info.
Thanks,
Regis
