But I did manage to pick up a new dremel and dremel workstation and I have to say it is a wonderful piece of machinery. It is so much better than the original drill press I used to use. It doesnt leave burrs and it has so many other things I can use it for too. I highly recommend adding this to your tool box if you are in the need of a stationary drill thing.<br /><a href="http://www.hobbytools.com.au/images/220.jpg"><img src="http://www.hobbytools.com.au/images/220.jpg" width="302" height="480" alt="Workstation 220" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2379708270844726859-8105052267777320049?l=thewhimsicaldesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Tiffany Nelsonnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2379708270844726859.post-412736595576685882010-05-13T10:11:00.000-07:002010-05-13T10:11:47.828-07:00So I finally got settled in here in Seattle and I have to say I love it.
