Sounds good, if you look around the internet you should find quite a bit of info, theres also some stuff on here too. however i found that alot of the stuff online wasnt really that practical for me so i just experiemented with some old pipes until i found what worked for me. as for tools if you are going to do this seriously you will need a flex-shaft (a dremel will be ok for most jobs, i prefer to use my jewelers flex-shaft cos i get more control) and a buffing wheel for polishing and applying wax.

feel free to pm me with any questions you have.
