Softwoods are less likely to chip or break while you're working with them, making them easier to work with than hardwoods. Look for pieces of wood made from pine, basswood, or butternut when you first start carving with a Dremel so you can get used to the process. Make sure the wood doesn't have any warps, knots, or defects since they can be more difficult to carve through. If you've had experience carving wood before, then you can try using hardwoods, such as oak, maple, or cherry. Hardwoods are more likely to chip, so work slowly to prevent any damage to the design. Make sure the wood is clean and dry before you carve it. Use a pencil when you draw your design so you can erase any leftover marks when you're finished. Start by drawing the full outline of your design so you can trace around it while you're carving. Mark any large areas you want to carve out with slanted lines or X's so you know what you need to carve later on. Work lightly with your pencil when you first start your design so you can erase the marks and make adjustments if you need to. If you're working with a dark piece of wood, use a white pencil instead. Look for a design you want to carve online or make one on your computer, and make it the same size you want for your carving. Print out the design on a sheet of paper and secure it to the light side of a piece of carbon paper with tape. Place the paper on top of your wood so the dark side of the carbon paper is face down. Go around the outline of the design with a pencil to transfer it onto the wood. You can get carbon paper from office supply stores. Don't rub the paper with your hand, or else you'll leave smudges on your wood that could make it hard to see your design. Set the piece of wood near the edge of a work surface so it lies flat. Secure the wood to the surface with a C-clamp so it isn't in the way of the design you're carving. Make sure the wood doesn't move around while it's clamped, or else it may shift while you're working on it. You may need to use multiple clamps depending on the size of your wood. Dremel tools create a lot of sawdust when you work with them and they may cause wood to splinter off of the blank you're using. Put on safety glasses that completely cover your eyes and a dust mask that goes over your nose and mouth. Wear work gloves to protect your hands in case the wood kicks up or splinters while you're working with it.

summary: Pick a softwood blank to make carving easier. Draw your design directly on the wood if you want to make it freehand. Trace the outline on top of carbon paper if you want to transfer the design. Clamp the wood securely to a well-lit work surface. Put on safety glasses, a dust mask, and work gloves before working.

When you remove enamel paint, it may release irritating dust into the air. Wear a safety mask or gloves to minimize irritation to your skin and lungs. If you suspect that the paint contains lead, then contact your local environmental agency for removal advice. Some enamel paints tell you right on the package how to best handle removal. Particular enamel paints are even designed to be more like acrylics and can be removed with water. Before you start on the removal process, check on the package or contact the manufacturer for tips. Whether you are removing enamel paint from wood, glass, or fabric, it never hurts to test your methods in an inconspicuous spot first. If you plan to use a tool, such as a spoon, scrape it lightly against an unaffected area to see what happens. If you are going to apply a solution, put a few drops on the surface and watch for damage.

summary: Take the proper safety precautions. Read the paint label for instructions. Do a test spot.

Laker Girls are required to be at least 18 years old at the time of auditions. While there is no maximum age, most Laker Girls are in their late teens and early twenties. Bring a photo ID to prove that you're 18 or older. As you craft your resume, include all of your dance experience as well as past employment and performance credits. Education is relevant if you're attending (or already attended) a well-known performance school like Juilliard or the School of American Ballet. Include experiences like being a dance extra in a music video or a commercial. You may be disqualified from auditioning if you don't have a photo with you, so bring a couple copies just in case. Consider hiring a professional photographer to take your headshot. Avoid just taking a selfie and printing that off to give them; it doesn't look nearly as professional to the judges. Registration begins promptly at 9:00 a.m. There are hundreds of women who show up to audition, so get there an hour or two before 9:00 to get in line. Be prepared for a long day tryouts start immediately after registration.
summary: Meet the age requirements. Bring your resume. Bring a current headshot. Arrive early.
