Have a look at the video on the Arbortech site. Might give you some inspiration

Just thought I'd mention: a quick way to get rid of the waste when doing barley twists is to mark out the spiral and then drill it out every half inch or so. Don't try joining the holes together with the drill though... use your Dremel/Arbortech/whatever for that, otherwise thye drill can "dig in" and start removing chunks that you really don't want removed. DAMHIKT.
Done properly, it can save quite a bit of time and effort.
BTW, that's a good first effort, Weisy! I've only done a couple, enough to know I need a lot more practice. [sigh]
