I can't see the new ones either. I really like the first 3, especially Baron Mojo.

Now is not the time for fear, that comes later

Works great, and your carvings are the same. Dremel work must be hard I imagine.

It's getting easier to use the dremel but you can easily make a mistake. But carving time is going down from 1-2 hours to 30-50 minutes.

I just knocked this one out tonight (still need to clean up, but just too excited not to post). I feel good about this considering I am yet to recover from the bachelor party I went to last night...

If you want to smooth out the edges, you can use 220 or higher grit sandpaper. Really helps.

I plan to. I used a dremel stone on some of the other patterns (no pics post clean up yet) but think I may try traditional sandpaper. Mind you, I'm not a super artistic person, this is just a fun hobby for me to hang these from the oaks in my yard for Halloween...so I'm not too worried about perfection. But a little smoother does look much better.

Brilliant! He looks so great carved. Only 30 to 50 minutes? That's great work.

Well 40 minutes to carve. Add on 15-20 to put on the stencil (watching TV) and probably the same to sand down the rough spots (tonight) and I think 70-80 total on this one. Was a fun carve, hard but I find I do much better with rounded ends rather than the sharp points. Might be a new favorite.
