Yes, I am. Thanks for the nod, r5150s.
Quick tutorial: I use a 1/32" bit for my Dremel to drill tiny holes just big enough for quills to fit in. This takes a steady hand as the bit does tend to want to dance around on the surface if you let it. You should attempt to drill them in at the proper angles, too, so they don't just stand out from his face like a pin cushion. Once you've drilled some holes where you want them (you don't have to do the all at once; it's better if you don't) cut the quills down to a length you want, hold the pointed end with tweezers, put a tiny droplet of glue on the cut end of the quill and push it into the hole. Keep the quill moving until it's as deep as you want it so that the glue doesn't grab too fast and you're stuck with it where it landed.
Though the holes I make are the perfect size, sometimes cutting the quill will cause the plastic to flair out and restrict insertion. Just use your fingernails in a scraping motion to flatten it a bit. Also, you can use a sharp, pointed tool to open the hole a slight bit more. If the hole does seem unwilling to take the quill, don't try too hard to shove it in. The quill will collapse and become kinda mushy and useless. First try widening the hole.
Here's some pics of my Elder for your reference:
The tools I use. The bit is 1/32".
Hope that helps.
(stock pile of quills so totally not for sale, so nobody ask please
)
everyone wants spare quills
tons of them on ebay..
