Such a cool product! Easy to get the hang of as well, works just like a pen with a twist, and people think that I got it professionally done. I'm not a great artist even, and I've been blown away by how good the finished product looks! Wood can be bought for a few bucks at the store and I've used it for a few gifts like birthdays and graduation. WELL worth the money!
If you really think about it, rarely in life does something truly exceed our expectations. A stranger you meet, a true friend, a lover... packages of miniature plastic award trophies; all these things have something in common. If we aren't careful, we will fall victim to mediocrity. When the imagination shuts down, the future ends with it. Without imagination, would the automobile ever have been invented? Would computers fit in our pockets? Would children laugh and play? Would we wonder why the sky is blue? Would we feel? When something outperforms our expectations, the limits of our imagination are tested. We are taken out of our own world for a moment and into that of another. We realize that this world is infinite, and yet infinitely momentary. Everything begins and ends, but if we're lucky, for just one moment - we will experience true meaning. When that happens, make sure to have a bag of 12 miniature plastic award trophies nearby - so you can celebrate.
Hard to wrap, not suitable for wire-wrapping. I had a hard time using.
Keeps the icing in well, especially when traveling and setting up cakes. nice idea.
Order arrived on time and is a great starter set for my newest adventure.

I've been looking into stone carving/sculpting as a hobby and have been told that soapstone is a good way to start. I've heard that you can use wood rasps to shape the stone. Does anyone have experience with this, or maybe a suggestion on where I can find some starter tools? Thanks!
try buying a dremel tool and they usually have all the accessories to cut,carve sand,route etc. [link removed]
Soapstone or a chunk of alabaster would be a terrific place to begin. We used a rasp, and then sandpaper, and finally noxon to bring up the shine (an old sock with the noxon while you watch TV works great!) I took an introductory class and our work was not meant to be detailed, I suspect the dremel might be the way to go if you were looking for more detail.
Well I just ordered a set of wood rasps today. I put it off for a long time, but decided to go that route. I'm not looking for detail, more of a meditative exercise and I think that the sound of the dremel would interfere with that. I'll look into noxon. I've never heard of it. Also what grain of sandpaper would you recommend? Thanks!
