That is completely amazing, I work for a family owned (57 Years) sewing store in CT and have been repairing machines for the last ten years. Your work is amazing and unbelievably accurate. Your work would be a wonderful display in our store if you were ever interested.

Thanks! And thanks for letting me know the model year. I work from photographs and only know what they look like, not necessarily when they were built.

what is holding the wood on to the dremel chuck while you are turning it ??

Hi 777jec!
I use two methods. For smaller pieces, I carve a 1/8" diameter end on the wood to be turned and insert it directly into the Dremel tool chuck (or collet). For larger pieces, I drill a 3/32" hole in the wood and then screw a 1/8" machine screw into the hole -- securing it with two lock nuts. I then insert the other end of the machine screw directly into the chuck (or collet) of the Dremel tool. Both methods work fine. If you check any of my videos, you'll see both methods used.

Oh, and one more point -- I cut off the head of the machine screw (using a cut-off wheel on the Dremel tool, then using a grinding wheel, smooth the cut end so that it slips easily into the chuck.

What materials do you use to create these models?

Hi, 21centuryg:
Everything is carved from basswood. It is very easy to carve and available at most hobby and art stores. The black parts and the natural wood bass are painted with watercolor and then given a clear, glossy coat of Varathane. For the chrome parts, silver leaf is applied (a very thin aluminum foil). For the gold trim and lettering, I used a fine-tipped gold marking pen.
