I offered him Half of whatever we worked on together and sold. I had the better deal, though he made aa decent amount of money and would have done it for free. I'll never understand him in the fact that he had No interest in carving brfore I met him. He had not carved for Many years and after we quit working together he went back to his Non carving life. So Yes I had someone to help me but he was FAR more the Master than I will ever be. Aaron, the Router speed control is a small electronic desl a little thicker than a pack of ciggs and has a wire/plug coming out one end, a Female plug on the other and a dial knob on the top with a 2 way switch for speed control or full power. They cost about $40 and work with most routers, grinders and sanders. just plug it in, plug your tool into it. turn on your grinder and dial in the sspeed that works best for hat application. It gies you Control of your tools. The big recprocating tool was awesome. Automach is coming out with one about half the size but it looks REAL Good, tho pricy. Here is a link to it http://automach.com/pages/frame31/prod2-e.html If it is half as good as the one I had it will be ten times as good as what I have now. Well thats about it for now, my stitched up finger is throbbing. got a Tiki Bite and 5 stitches to stop the bleeding. Later guys.
