I'm looking to do some small whittling projects, but I don't have a jigsaw and also lack the space for one. Is it possible to use a Dremel with a specific attachment to tackle these projects instead?

Absolutely, you can use a Dremel for that! I suggest checking out attachment tool 115. It's a metal drum design that works really well for removing material, especially if you're working with softer woods. There are other designs out there too, so you might find something that suits your style!
Definitely! The sanding drums are great for shaping and they come in different grades for fine-tuning your work. I'd also recommend getting part 4468, which is nice if you're using multiple bits—it saves time from changing the collets all the time. You can find kits with a variety of attachments at hardware stores, or just search for "rotary burrs" online to discover more options. Just a heads-up: if you decide to use micro router bits, be super careful! Wearing gloves and a mask is a must, especially if you're working in a stuffy area. Once, I carved an ostrich egg and ended up breathing in a bunch of the tiny shell particles—definitely not a fun experience!
I'll check it out, thanks!
That looks perfect! Thanks a lot!
