Hi, everyone! I just want to give a quick intro. I'm excited to be here and eager to learn as much as I can about the never-ending possibilities and world of woodworking. I'm a self-taught beginner with the very basics in knowledge as well as tools (circular saw, power sander, jigsaw, miter...
I am in the market for a power carver and was considering the weecher brand. I was wondering if any of you own this particular brand or are familiar with their design in the chucking of the bits. If i understand correctly, the company that makes them designs the chucks in one of two ways, there...
Are you proficient at relief carving? If so, would you be willing to help out at a free workshop for beginning carvers?
I'm trying to organize a one day, free workshop for anyone who wants to learn relief carving. This is along the same line as the one day, free sharpening workshops Mike...
This past weekend my 12 yo grandson spent some time in the shop w/ me. He said he wanted to try something different: Carving! So I gathered up what few tools I have that vaguely resemble carving chisels, and put him at the bench w/ some scrap material (poplar and MDF). I told him what little...

Hey guys
I was searching the net about small duplicarvers and came across this forum where I was reading a post about sears pantograph carver. What I was searching for on google was a less expensive and smaller version of a 2d-3d carving solution one that would allow the use of your...
Hi Y'all, I had a rotary tool (non dremel) with a flex shaft that came in a kit from Northern Tools. The flex shaft sheath burned in to. Northern does not offer any replacement parts and it would probably cost more than what I paid for the whole kit anyway. My question is does anyone use a flex...
Do any of you possess one of those small cnc carvers you know like the one Sears sells for 2G's I ask cause this guy I work for wants an ingraving of his Military Patch from active duty I was hoping to find someone here to do it for him.
Thanks Mark
Came across this and thought I'd share with the carvers out here ... I'm sure a dedicated carving bench would come in handy for a daily carver!
This site has good pictures, plus sells the plans.

Spent this wonderful afternoon outside doing some "homework" for the Maloof rocker class. This is my 1st time ever carving out a seat and I must say it was very therapeutic-almost zen like. Here's the pics to prove it happened:

Has anyone used the CMT 3D Router Carver System? If so, how do you like it? Is it worth the money? Would you buy it again? I'm thinking about getting it, but it seems that the number of templates is very limited, unless you can create your own.
Just looking for someone that knows a little...
I have received a request for help in locating someone who can carve or supply this type of "Golfer".
To which I responded with a question or two. And he replied.
If you are interested, send me a PM and I will provide an email address. I don't want to put and email address in the clear...
