I have and occasionally use a basic variable speed dremel tool set.

They are much harder to use than you'd think, the tool, unless very strongly 
held
wants to walk and twist.  I can not carve a straight line or follow a marked 
curve
at all with one.

Also the bearings are not that great so that a lot of sideways tork 
will wear them out in a hurry.

They're fancy and cute but over priced and over rated.

I think you'll be much better off if you learn to use small hand tools, 
effectively.  You're going to be working with smalll pieces, probably mostly of
soft materials, and sawing, drilling filing sanding etc. doesn't take much 
effort
and you can much more easilly keep track of what you're doing.

If you can find someone who has a dremel, ask to try it in your hand and see
just how hard it is before you spend money.
