You can get Dremel - a -like kit cheaper at Cromwell.co.uk 

Comment by Richey Kay on March 3, 2016 at 7:55am
A Dremel should cost about £40. Nice tool, not all that useful for CBGs though
Comment by Fomhorach on March 3, 2016 at 7:51am

So I like the idea of a dremmel but I don't like the idea of paying £+100 for one. I'm going to try out one of the cheaper alternatives. Anyone any suggestions?

Well, Davie from Glasgow ( where's that, btw?),  many a mans  got arrested for  "tinkering with a twangy thing".  Anyhoo, welcome, Weegie Fellow of the North ;)

Hi there. I'm Davie from Glasgow. Tinkerer of twangy things.

I thought I would pop in and say hello. It looks like there's quite an active scene going on down south. You never know, I might join in sometime. A festival of string stuff and beer.. Who wouldn't?

My March "Learn To Play" workshop is now sold out. The next one is 11th June. 

I've just had someone visit me all the way from Berlin for private lessons, and USA singer songwriter Jarrod Dickenson dropped by last week to learn the basics while he was on his recent UK tour...here he is with one of my Dark Star Brewing Co guitars.

It seems I'm in demand - so if you want a place on the next one, early booking is advised.
