I've got to see one of them thar air chisels in action. I just don't see how it would work without kicking back at ya. I'm sure it works n' all, but...gotta SEE it!
Hey has anyone tried video in a forum? I know that model camera your usin' Benzy has a video mode!! I doubt you can save mpeg at shutterfly though. Just a thought.

It doesn't run on air... rather it is a recriprocarver as Ben said. You can get an attachment for a Dremel. A company named Wecheer makes one that Woodcraft carries.

It is a flex shaft that converts into a "jackhammer" that you put chisel attachments into. I had one but burned it out and got into traditional chisel carving. The "jackhammer" only works when you apply pressure to the chisel, as in putting it to the wood.

I'm assuming that you are using the same type of shaft Ben... you just have it hooked up to a higher power motor than a regular Dremel...
