matiz Posted February 28 Author #301 Posted February 28 Hi, and thanks to all I generally use small chisels and gouges made from carbide shanks of broken cutters, or tailor's needles or hypodermic needles, I don't use motorized cutters, due to the smallness of the details, and I have a normal helmet with interchangeable lenses Hubac's Historian, GrandpaPhil, davyboy and 11 others 13 1 Quote
