Dremel tools and accessories: Somebody mentioned a few digests back that Dremel rotary power tools were available from Micromark. If you are in the U.S. and have a Home Depot near you, you should consider buying one of these from there. They carry the whole range at cheaper prices and you wouldn't have to pay shipping costs or wait for it to be delivered. They also have a very extensive range of accessory packs.

Over the weekend, I went to the Harbor Freight Tools store in Newark, and picked up a small rotary power tool with 60 accessories for $12.00 (lot 41695). I'll probably never use the actual rotary tool, but the accessories were a real bargain. I also got an electric engraver for $5.00 (lot 46099). Their sale continues to May 13th. If you are interested you can look up these (and other bargains), by entering the lot number at their web site:

Carriage wheels: There are wooden wheels at this site, under toy wheels, that might work if they are painted to look like metal. The thin spoked wagon wheel is 2 - 5/16" dia. And the ones with wider rims/tires are from 1-3/4 to 3" in dia. http://www.bearwood.com And Joy was right, there sure is "a lot of good stuff in there!"
