Just saw a comercial for a new tool from Craftsman. It's a Comp Carver
(I think that is what they called it).

It looks like a portable planer, but you go on your computer and design
a carving, like a fleur d' leise ( Saint's logo??) and load it on a card
that slips into the "planer", you put in a peice of wood and it will
carve the design into the wood.

$1899.99 was the price.....

Anybody seen one in person?

Apparently Sears licensed the machine.

Saw it at the Dallas show. Not bad except everything is property.

Do you mean "proprietary" instead of "property"?

That huge lathe is bitchen! And I haven't used that word in 30 years.

Turning never interested me that much but that would be very cool. Size
matters.
