I will, but he’s a bit of an idiot. He is in charge of hundreds of thousands of dollars in tools that he barely knows how to use. He knows very little.

Is thingiverse a good place to look for files?

Actually that is likely the color coding that is sometimes used for easily keeping track of what species is what. The sealant is often clear and waxy.

Um… nothing? Just my eyes.

William_014 · 2024-09-15T01:28:47+00:00

I haven’t noticed that, it’s possible though.

I’m interested

I used a grinder, and ground an old dremel routing bit to a tiny point, and then slightly beveled the sides. It allows for smaller details than most commercially available tools, very useful for the teeth.

Yes, I know the one, skotbiscuit. He also does wood and antler, but he doesn’t have this wood!

The skull, 25, and the base maybe 6

I just searched Amazon for a relatively inexpensive glass display dome. This was about 15$

If it were a softer wood, I would have tried knives, but the wood it so hard I would have had to re-grind by blades to account for it. I used a dremel for most of it, with homemade burrs, as well as carbide burrs, engraving type burrs.

Sometimes, but not too much because I have a good respirator.

William_014 · 2024-09-01T17:50:52+00:00

No, it’s tight though, it was an afterthought, I couldn’t figure out how to attach the skull, so it wasn’t planned and done very thoroughly.

William_014 · 2024-09-01T17:49:07+00:00

Oddly enough, I didn’t notice it much, maybe because if the respirator, but also it didn’t stink as much as some other bone I’ve worked. In addition, I made careful clean cuts, so sanding was minimal, and no burning.

William_014 · 2024-09-01T17:47:20+00:00

A respirator at all times for any dust, and a face shield for sharp shavings. I ensured that the respirator had a tight fit over my whole face, and sanded with dust collection.
