I met my first Dremel in metalsmithing class three years ago. I fell in love at first sight! Our teacher was making us craft everything by hand; my shoulders ached, my saw blades kept breaking; the sandpaper wore away my fingerprints; my chasing hammer kept slipping, but finally, FINALLY I got to attch the little buffing pad, put the polishing compound on and USE THE DREMEL!! Yes!!!

Still don't have one at home; a kiln is top priority, but I can certainly understand the feelings you have, Rick, although as Bert said, it takes some kind of power-minded person to build a shed with just a Dremel; something I'd probably try, too!
