Dremel workstation with a 4" cross sliding vice.

Light wood milling and the odd RDA air hole mod

Cant wait for the bits to come to try this out.
 
Where did you get that vice and how much was it? Been looking for something similar for my dremel workstation.

Got it on BidOrBuy paid R400 for it. Think you will get them at hobby shops as well
 
I got a vice like that from Adendorff's a while back. Works okay.
 
I have a few 1mm and 1.5mm drill bits but no vice or drill press :D
 
After some elbow grease

The wood block is on size an there is no tool marks. Next is to hollow it out and cut the door

Round 1 done, long way to go

Thats sure going to be time consuming.
I first hogged mine out with the big bits, left a dividing wall for the battery compartment, and then moved on to the dremel for the fine stuff.
Have you perhaps given a thought to the final finish, stabilizing resin, beeswax etc?
So far I can only think of Woodoc 20, probably thinned with turps, in a vacuum chamber.
Hopefully it will seep in far enough to do a decent stabilizing job.
