big al smith

Hi si looked for you on Saturday. No joy, some lovely work there , your entry looks good , did you manage to auction it on sunday

as you can see the owl needs decappitating or is it a meerkat with wings as i am just starting off i think the other stuff aint too bad though

many thanks gardenmac will try that

hi guys decided to buy the arbortech mini carver got it for a song £117 brand spankin new good bit of kit, would post some pics of my first attempts but i am having difficulty posting photos need some help

many thanks guys for all your advice i apreciate all your views, i am struggling a bit on the fine detailing and thought the mini grinder would help ,it is going cheap and i might have a go, i will still try to refine my work with the carving bar and agree that only time and experience will improve me, once again many thanks, what a great site will start posting some of my carvings soon when they look good enough, just did an owl but it looks more like a meerkat with wings lol

Hi guys i,m looking at buying a arbortech mini carver on ebay, its never been used and looks good , ive noticed proxxon do a long handled angle grinder that looks very similar but much cheaper

what are your views on these two and are they any good.

i would be using them for finer detail on my chainsaw carving as being a novice carver i am not yet up to speed with my carving bar,(eyes and noses flying off everywhere lol) thanks
