I just finished putting on the scrolls with the acrylic ink. Once that dries i will apply another layer this time with some of the tube acrylic to thicken up the paint. This will be followed by the addition of the burnt sienna, then the highlights, And finally touching up with the Prussian blue and cleaning up all the lines.

Just got a notice from Lee Valley . I paid $36 for these a few months ago from Zak Jewlers.

The reason i get so many nice tools from new york is that one of my daughter lives there and i send all my on line purchase tools to her apartment. Tools for woodworking. I’ve actually only found two great physical stores to visit. The first is “tools for woodworking “ . Its located in a bit of a grubby area so don't take your wife as i did. 112 26th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232. They also have a web site toolsforwoodworking.com so you can see what they have. The other is. jak Jewelry tools 37 west 46th street in Manhattan. You have to walk up a number of stairs and there is lots of security all around the place . I guess they must make jewelry around the area. Again they have a web site jakjewelrytools.com. My usual on line store is Lee Valley which has some wonderful miniature tools that i have shipped to her home.

Oh dear, indoor swimming pool. Last night we had a electrical surge that resulted in fire in 4 homes in my neighborhood including mine when one of the multi plug strips burst into fire. We were luck that we were home that night.

This would be my first choice.

The Foredom is a totally different tool. It runs at around 20,000 rpm and is full of power. The Turbo carves runs at 400,000 rpm and has no power what so ever. You paint with the turbo while you cut with the Foredom. You will have to use one to understand what i mean. I have long had a compressor so that cost is not of concern for me. The hand piece is around $200.
