Good Choice , I've had my Mastercarver for years and still working fine . Micro Carver gives you higher RPM and finer Detail , something to think about for your next Birthday . Ha,Ha. Merle

I bought a new Dremel 4300 and that Chuck was in it . I thought it was a Good Idea but was wrong . The Bit would come loose and the only way I could keep it tight was to use Pliers to tighten it , then it held . Good Idea bad Design. Junk . I went back to Collet type Chuck . Merle

Hi Tinwood , you know I don't have one for myself , maybe the next one will be better and call it mine . If not I'll always have another Eagle to carve . I took the last one to the Eye Dr. and a Woman had to take his Picture . Gives a good feeling for this Hobby . Thank You for your always Encouraging...

Hi Ray , I have read them both lots of times and learned something different every time . Follow their Teachings and you won't go wrong. Have Fun . Merle

Hi Joe , that is the hardest for me also . Think Feather Groups at first not Feathers , then the Feather lines . I used a 1/4 " V Gouge for most of the Detailing , 6o Deg. I think . Hope my Pictures Help . No Woodburning , all Carving . Take your time and have Fun. Thanks Joe. Merle
