Tools Carvers Use - Tiki Carving

Sometimes it's hard to justify buying tiki stuff when the bills need to be paid. "Honey we don't need electricity right? But look at this COOOOL wall hanging!" Anyway, the grinder I have is a Skil Model 146 Hand Grinder. It's pretty old, but it has a ton of torque. It looks like it should take a larger bit, but it just doesn't. And there is just an on off switch, no adjustments allowed. I'll get something nicer eventualy, but free was a pretty good price for this one. Again, mahalo for all the great carving tips. I will post pics as I go along.
