I am primarily a turner but I do some carving. I also enjoy making small items by hnd tool and use some carving chisels to embellish them from time to time. I would like to do some carving on some turned pieces and as I'm researching around, like most woodworking, the choices are abundant. The foredom I looked at and sense I'm not really a carver seams like a bit much money for something I would not use that much. I have also looked at the merlin type a thing and it looks to fit the bill some and then the wheels to put on a grinder. I can use my carving tools for detail but I wanted to compliment with some power stuff some for heave removal some for sanding but I just do not have a clue which way to go. I also do not want to waste a bunch on money. So if you folks could I would appreciate some opinions and what you do, meaning project types, and way you use what you do.
