So I would like to start attempting to make my own scales for MY razors. I don't have the $ to spend on a bunch of tools like a belt sander/band saw/drill press so I figured I'd get a dremel tool and see if I even possess the skills required to make scales.

I'd also really like to get a beginners but quality wood carving set to do some more 'intricate' work on the scales. The idea of carving really entices me. I know one of our members here does wood carving for churches/universities/private homes but I can't remember who it is so i figured I'd just ask here.

Also, since I'm completely naive when it comes to this stuff, are there any tools that are capable of carving wood as well as plastics/micartas/g10 etc so I would only have to make one purchase?

ANNND one more thing. I like the idea of file work in metal but want to be able to re-create this look in wood so again, would this fall under the wood carving set I should be looking for or is it a whole other kit of files to do this??

Thanks gentleman, in advance, for your help and recommendations.
