Power carving – a practical approach with Rob Brown
Join studio furniture maker Rob Brown on April 29 at 7:00 PM for an informative talk on power carving.
Rob's blog: I have the power!
We all have our favourite parts of woodworking. My favourite thing to do might be adding texture to wood. Right behind that is power carving.
Project: This is a push-over
One of the most daunting woodworking shop tasks is ripping stock or parts on a table saw. Especially when the stuff is small and/or close to the rip fence. This simple jig will calm your mind, give you confidence and allow you to better control the workpiece while making ripping operations.

Roughing out a large carving, or even a medium-sized one, can be a very laborious process. In the interest of saving time and energy, many carvers opt for 'power'.
Know your tools: Cordless drill/drivers
Compact drill/drivers provide ample power for most day-to-day drilling and screwing tasks, making them ideal for DIYers, hobbyist woodworker, furniture makers, and trades people who primarily drill smaller diameter holes (under 1"), sink shorter screws (under 2-1/2"), and tighten smaller nuts and bolts.
