Thanks Ben.

No fancy tools here, unfortunately. I use a combo of power and hand tools on big projects:

For quick rough wood removal, I use the Lancelot wheel. Quick but scary. This fits on my 4" angle grinder. (always keep the guard in place). NOT for the faint hearted.

For smaller details, I use a air powered die grinder with some el-cheapo burs.

For details I use some Flexcut palm Tools

And also use a Dremmel with a variety of bits/wheels .

I really like the control I get using the flexcuts, but they are too small for any large volume wood removal. Someday I will have to cough up some more $ to get some big chisels.

For miscellaneous weird cuts/shaping, I have been known to use the drill press and compound miter saw.
