I have looked at the Foredom tools for a long time.  They look like they would be nicer to use then a Dremel.  The thing that keeps me from going for it is I start to realize I don't use my Dremel all that much.

I hope to do some more inlay work where it will come in handy. One of the reasons I went this route is becuase of the noise my Dremel makes after about a minute the high pitched whinny sound drives me nuts.

I have that Stewmac mini router plunge base.  I use it with cordless Dremel, and Milwaukee motors.  It's a nice little tool.  I use the smallest spiral bits I could find.  It's pretty easy to freehand to a line.

Good to know I glued up some test pieces last night to give it a try this weekend.

John, just curious. How do they account for the qty of 10,000, by weight?

“They” say there are about 3500 per pound. Around here bees are typically sold as a 3lb package. Of course I’m sure it’s just approximated.

They count legs.

Reminds me of a time during my bee class when the professor was talking about the people who first studied and learned what the bee dances mean. A classmate asked “How did they get the bees to dance?” With a straight face he said, “You tickle them.” and then continued on for a couple minutes before going back and explaining how they had set up a makeshift hive to observe the bees naturally doing the dances.

Around here, it is crawfish season and they go from $5 live to $9 cooked per pound, whole. That equates to the meat costing as much per ounce as Japanese Wagyu. I bet if bees were edible, they would exceed that. Bee etouffee, maybe not?
