I finally found a decent woodshop here in town. It's no smoky mountain carvers, to be sure, but good enough for now!

I'd prefer a smaller locally owned place, but this is a start...

Anyway, I was checking out some power carvers, and I just had a tough time choosing which is best! Luckily, I didn't want to surprise my wife with a $200 purchase, so I didn't choose...

Anyway, I know that GAP blew out his wecheer, which is what I was looking at. That really held me back, but the power tool kit seems like such a great deal

Just looking for some advice on a versatile power chisel/detail tool for carving small details and also doing some sign work. I can't afford something that will die under regular tiki carving use, in other words not a dremel. As I have mentioned before, I am also considering a roto zip with flexshaft attachment.

any tips?

Thanks!
