i must admit, i didnt really think about the aloy.
the tip about the dremeling by hand id already considered and resolved to just go for it. (bought a dremel today, special offer with 40 piece tool set for 8.99 Euro, 15 000 - 35 000 RPM, 135watt)
the tips about the actual machining, well yeah going for quality is always recommended. the actualy making is going tobe a minor adventure im sure. im not sure how much end milling ill be doing, as opposed to using the various stone tipped things and cutting discs. ill try get a pic up of the current drmel tool set i have. that way one can scrutinise and recommend additions. not to mention ill be implementing excellent webcam time lapse documentation of my work.
what do i mean by stove?
