Hi, Don and i have been having more fun with our hobby. *We enjoy

I have a Dremmel and I refinish furniture, but don't use a Dremmel to
do it. *I sometimes mount a spindle on my lathe to strip off the old

I know little about antiques except the more they are screwed with the
less they are worth (gleaned from the Antiques road show).
Dremmels, though I have some experience with. For versatility try to
get a variable speed with a flex shaft, get a selection of collets,
get a big package of off brand tools for it cheap, so you can
experiment & see what works for you, then you can try to find a
quality version of the bits you use a lot. I still use most of the
cheap set, & never found anything I needed the best of except the cut-
off wheels.
