The flexshaft tools can take the recipricating chisel attachment off and replace it with a rotary attachment that is similar to the dremel. The flexshaft motors also have a foot pedal to control the speed. While learning keep the size of your tiki down till you are comfortable with the tools. Mallet and chisels may not be right for but there are plenty of other options - rasps and files may also work for you. Good luck and keep us posted! Thanks! I just googled "weecher" and it looks like the tool I was playing around with last night. Yeah I was kind of thinking it could do most of what I might need. Then again... everytime I think I have all the right tools I discover something else that I don't have/need! Anyways, thanks for all of your thoughts. -Craig
