Step 7Hook Up!!!
Now its time to install the hook. Your hook should be long enough that the Dremel can hang without hitting the dowel.
Once you have a hook, you need to figure out how high to place it. I chose a spot about two inches from the top of the dowel. This keeps the Dremel out of the way but within easy reach and it leaves plenty of slack in the flex shaft so you can easily move about as you work.
Now that you know where you want the hook mark the spot. Then drill a pilot hole the appropriate diameter for your hook. Screw one nut on the hook a good portion of the way onto the threaded base of the hook. Once this is in place screw your hook into the pilot hole. This may be a little tricky, but I used a screw driver as a lever to turn the hook when I couldn't do it by hand. I turned the hook until it protruded from the back of the dowel enough to screw the second nut on. Then I tightened down the first nut to keep it from moving. This may be overkill. but I figued it couldn't hurt.
