Paco, I don't engrave (yet), but I do own a Dremel, far too many bits, and a small Dremel that could be an engraver except that I use it for fine details on taqua nut and avocado seed carvings.
Rebecca: I had never heard of tagua nuts until you mentioned them. I checked out some videos of people making tiny sculptures and other decorative items, and most of them seemed to be using Dremels. Fascinating. I'll have to use one of those videos in my working-with-your-hands posts.
