Dental Drill Art: A Beginners Guide to High Speed Engraving & Carving
The high-pitched shrill of a dental drill invokes fear in most people but for some that same shrill can bring creativity and joy. They are know as dental drill artists. These artists use the same drills and little burs your local dentist use, but instead of drilling away cavities they drill away glass, metal, wood, antler, eggshells, and more to make images, designs, and lettering. Author Roger F. Wolford has gathered information from various sources, interviews, and used his own 20 years of experience to create a guide for the beginner with the desire to use the high-speed dental drill to create engravings and carving. He walks us through basic information of the dental drills and dental burs, air compressor selection, and image transfer methods. Roger gives examples of how the dental drills can be used to create art on eggshells, gourds, gunstocks, antler, bone, wine bottles, and more with instructions and full color photos. You also get the author's reviews on 6 popular dental drill handpieces side by side. Roger tests them in his workshop and shares his results and ratings with you the readers. Plus he gives 4 entry-level step-by-step projects to get the new dental drill artist started making art.
