    OK, spent a couple of hours on it with the mini carver til the bloody belt broke....again.

    A bit fragile that mini carver ...

    Anyway, I got out my new Fordom & a nice aggressive TCT bit & did some hollowing.

    Once it started to take form I stood back with a beer & a black marking pen & did some 'editing'..... then I got the chainsaw out again & 'lightened' it a bit.

    I also have a 'power file' attachment for an angle grinder.
    It uses a 15mm sanding belt.

    I mounted it on my 5" grinder (not easy) 'cos it has variable speed.
    If you run the sanding belt too fast it just flys apart. (guess how I know that?) Do we have a smiley with one eyebrow missing?

    At some point I have managed to loose some photos so we are going to have to skip forward a bit.

    First we have the Power File & the Fordom.

    The cylinder bit lying beside the hand piece is the aggressive TCT bit, the one in it is just HHS & not so aggressive. It is good for detail work & smoothing out the marks made by the TCT tip.

    looking great Cliff.
    I had the same problem some time ago with my mini Arbortech, ended up pulling it apart, realigned everything and have not had a problem since....cheers Kerry

    It is this one, I bought it a year ago & mine has a red label but the kit is very similar.

    Foredom 5240 Power Woodcarving Kit

    Interesting metamorphosis Cliff . . . watching

    Just picked up a Foredom myself a couple of months back and still haven't had a chance to use it. Looking for some good ideas for a stand that will also house my pyro' tools etc - an "enhancement station" so to speak

    Interesting web site there Cliff, I have just purchased the Archer equivalent with reciprocating head as I found it hard to justify the $300 extra for the Foredom (hope that I don't regret it) maybe if I had known about your purchase I may have changed my mind....anyway I am very happy with the Archer to date.
    TT I have attached a pic of the workstation that I quickly put together as my telescopic hangers were not strong enough to hold the Archer...still a bit of modification to go....cheers kerry
