Im just one of many pounamu carvers down here in Hokitika, Te Wai Pounamu. Pointers: Read through this thread and you should find most of the answers you are looking for as far as setting up goes. The Dremil-tool is a good start: get yourself some diamond burrs to run in it, water, earmuffs, etc.. Be sure to post us any pics of your progress; It would be cool to have some more NZ based Tiki carving going on. Good luck! Tama :)
