so... newbie
guess this is the most appropriate preexisting thread to ask a question

what exactly do i need to carve jade (into a hei-tiki)?
dremel w/ flexshaft + a grinder and a respirator?
would that be good enough to start?

i dont want to buy tools and find out theyre not good enough

seeing as how the ancients did it, my best advice on tools is this:

patience and talent

oh, and if you're going to use your dremel flex shaft, make sure and spry some WD-40 into it once and awhile. it gets a little rusty inside there under the water.
