Thank you. I almost exclusively taught myself just by trying to make different things. I started first by making wooden stamps and slowly realized that I didn’t like how they were turning out so I just got my hands on lots of different wood and bits for my dremel and played around with what each bit could and couldn’t do to different types of wood. Initially this is what I tried finding tutorials for, and there is a surprising lack of videos that can provide straight answers to what bit is best for crafting various things. Almost all the videos focus on the home improvement side of the tool, or on how to make something specific, but not so much how to use the tool itself.
If you are looking to jump into it I would highly suggest the dremel stylo. It’s cheap for how versatile it is and with all the options for bits what you can do with it is almost limitless (unless you are hoping to make large sculptures then ignore everything I have just said).
For carving things like this I use a combination of cutting bits available in nearly any large hardware store, and specialty diamond tip bits (don’t worry they are cheaper than they sound) for fine detail and smoothing. Both types are very easy to get on Amazon.
Most major craft stores stock a lot of the wood I use and a quick google can tell you if you have any specialty wood supply stores near you.
I’m not sure how your eyesight is but I found I absolutely cannot make these without the aid of a desktop magnifying glass/lamp combo. That is probably the most expensive thing, but in my case I NEED it.
All in all I say play around and see what you have the most fun creating. Just make absolutely sure you are very careful when you are starting to get a feel for the tools you choose to use. Thankfully this is pretty low risk compared to other types of woodworking, but it’s still wood working, and you are using a power tool so be carful.
I also found these links that might help for purchasing the bits I use. Dremel’s selection is massive and it can be very intimidating trying to figure out what the hell most of the bits are for.
Here is a good starter set of bits used mostly for material removal I use the ball shaped ones the most by far.
And here is a link to a good starter set of diamond tip ones for fine detail
You can figure out which of these you like and then buy those specific bits from dremel.
Also please feel free to send me a message if there is something you think I can help with. The learning curve can be pretty steep, but it’s probably the most enjoyable hobby I have ever found for myself.
I’d try the groove/flathead thing first.
I had this happen to a tap and I used a diamond dremel bit to essentially hollow and dig it out.
