Dremel in stand131 viewsThis is the Dremel in the stand that I use when I sand and cut small beads. It allows me to have 2 hands free when I work as I do not have to hold the Dremel in my hand while I work.

Working in the shade of the Umbrella119 viewsThis picture was taken July 2, 2006. In Texas it is hot, so I found a place in the backyard to set up a table and used the umbrella to shield me from the sun. You can see my fan which I use to both to blow the dust away from me and to also keep me cool. On the right side of the picture is the battery operated Dremel equipped with a drill bit so that I could drill a hole quickly without switching to the drill press (as I only have one Dremel).
