If only I had one of these as a kid. My dad let me use his corded drill with a grinding stone to make my little sculptures. Granted I was only 10 or 12 at the time, but if I had one of these I could have been somebody, I could have been a contender, instead of a bum, which is what I am.

Thanks Paul. Question: you first said you use a coarse and extra coarse Kutzall wheel. Later you said medium and coarse. Clear this up for me please.

Your right I was a little confusing, I use the very coarse and coarse flat wheels with the original coating

Watched the video, on my smart TV, not on ‘puter. I’m going to attempt some power carving. Have you had success on oak and pine? I’ve a lot of pine to practice on.

I suggest you stick with hard woods, when carving pine there is no “feedback” from the wood so it’s actually harder to carve a wood that is very soft or varys in density.
Oak is a great wood to start with, Maple, cherry, Walnut all carve well. I even have found crazy hard exotic woods carve easily because the density is so even.

Thanks,
I have been cutting my walnut branches/logs that I harvested on my band saw(playing) to get a feel, and noticing the difference in the sawdust, as compared to fir and pine. Same with oak and ash.
Been reading about hand carving rocking horses, and poplar seems popular.
But I am amazed at the cost of a 1 inch or larger fish tailed gouge?
Where and what kind of tips do you have for your tool grinder?
