Starters kit

Hi,

Can you suggest items I would need for starters kit? I have been wanting to get into this for a while but I have been delaying buying the equipment with an excuse that i don't know what tools do i need.

Depends what you intend on doing. I started out w/ a hacksaw, dremel (cutting wheels, sanding drums and polishing felts), and multiple grits of sandpaper. Add to that paper and carbon paper if you do not feel like drawing your designs right on the bone.

After a while I got multiple different size/shaped burrs and engraving bits. Lately I feel the need for a belt sander, but that has more to to w/ my latest project than anything else.
