Have a new idea. Want to embed things into paddles. There is nothing cooler than a Dremel Tool. I want Dremel out a space, inlay heavy things, and then paint the piece and use some heavy lacquer to protect it.
Note: We keep little ideas like this a secret from the Wood Shop. They would probably all have heart attacks if they find out I am doing this on the fly. I am sure their process would include blueprints, a piece of heavy machinery designed for just this purpose, and then an operator for the piece of (inevitably) heavy machinery. Bless them for wanting to save me from myself! I promise to post the ER photos when I did something they told me not to do, and then injured myself.So, imagine if I took my Dremel, made a channel in the paddle face and then put things into it? I don’t really know what “things” are yet, have any ideas? Time to hit the craft/leather store to find things to put in there. Worried I will splinter the wood, but can’t really ask for advice (see “Note” above!), so let’s see if I ruin things!
