Thoughts on Peter Chan? (Herons Bonsai)

I don’t like dremel because you can only use bits for the dremel and the collet does not go up to 1/4” … I don’t want to buy a foredom

There is a nibber with dremel thread on it, and I without problems remove large parts of wood. ALso, I have the quick-release collet on the thread and I can choose loads of 3.2mm shaft bits.

It is very workable now. I have a makita in the basement gathering dust because the dremel does just fine with the few tools.

There's no secrets, most of this stuff can be found online. This video is old and ive shared it here before, its one of a few of his that can be found on youtube

Potter also has videos on tools he uses and I believe nibbler and Potter ship bits to the US. Im pretty sure you can also find similar styled bits in the US from other outlets.

It is a commercial add-on. By dremel themselves. My dremel is not like a regular drill on front.

It's in the follow up Yew video I bumped the thread with. The Scots pines at the end are well worth looking at.

@26 minutes: Just style choice. By not cleaning the whole branch, you show the story of dying of and damage stronger than by cleaning fully, is his argument.
