| The only complaint I have about the magazine and this web site is that it keeps showing ideas and projects that just beg to be tried. I think I could stop both right now and still have enough ideas and plans to keep me going until I croak. Time and money well spent, so thanks to all of you! Alan. |

| Yep, it's awesome stuff. Carving a fretwork is a smart idea, and Dick is very talented. Hope to catch him and his work at a show sometime in the near future.

| Well I have started working on something using Dick's ideas. What I'm cutting is not a large cat or even an animal, but the raised fretwork steps have already been done. I'm cutting the fretwork now and once that's finished look out! I will attempt to carve my work similar to what Dick does, I just hope I don't ruin the whole thing trying it. We will see and I suppose pictures could be posted in the "works in progress" section or heck, even here  Dick is just flat out a talented artist, I value how I've got to know him thru this board and I will meet up with him someday for some real live advice and hopefully show and tell. This article is totally awesome, I'm so thrilled it is in this issue. Thanks so much Dick Your Friend Tom |

| I loved the idea and am inspired to give this a try. What new depth this carving technique gave to the finished project. I also liked the idea of the collage that he created. All I can say is Wow! This would look powerful on the wall of the new home we are planning to build.

 | This is an incredible idea that really brings a simple fretwork project to life. His collage is just amazing and has inspired me to give this a serious try. I have two other projects that must be done first, so next weekend I'll be ready to start on one of these.

|  Locating Dremel Carving Bits Tom (f250)...Sometimes it is hard to find all the carving bits in the local stores. They just don't seem to keep very many of them in stock. You can order them directly by phone from Dremel 1-800-4 DREMEL (1-800-437-3635) Order by bit number, have your credit card handy. All high speed carving bits are $5.85. They will then send you a catalog which contains a lot more bits than are available in the stores. Dick
