I learned this from watching Stan Gibbs do the same thing with thin black bakelite sheets and a dremel type tool to cut out the designs like mackerel vermiculations. Works well and cheap dough.

That is BRILLIANT.....Seriously. I'm going to have to mess with that one this winter. And with the plastic after the paint builds up it should just peel off......Good as new
