Cheap Woodturning

Step 3: Grinding

If you made a grindstone, let the piece of wood turn and hold it on it. You probably need to replace the sandpaper with a new one after some time.
If you haven't made a grindstone, you can put the drill/Dremel in the bench vice, take some viles and sandpaper, and make a wood sculpture.

Guy90 commented that it would be useful to connect the other end to something aswell, that is especially needed for bigger objects, it is to prevent them from vibrating.

why don't you cut the head off of a lag bolt and use that shaft in the drill, it should get more grip than a drill bit.

That is a very good idea. I think i can make good use of this. I have been wishing i had a lathe, and now with my dremel tool i do! Thanks!

Yes, but remember that the Dremel can only do it with small pieces of wood, or the whole thing will vibrate. Unless you take a real long screw, hold the dremel in a vench vice, and put the other end of the screw also somewhere in, so the thing is in balance, and then in the middle of the screw your bigger piece of wood.
