Carvewright; to buy or not to buy

I have no experience with it… just personal opinion.

To me, it seems like one of those gadgets that amazes you with what it can do. But I’m afraid that after playing with it a while I would get bored with it, because the computer was doing the woodworking, not me.

I would have to agree with Charlie,and after reading reviews about this it does not seem to be very reliable.

I’ve looked at it for a while and haven’t quite committed to buying it. Like you, I think I’d like to add some carving to some cabinetry work every now and then. I’d really like to learn how to carve myself, but I’ve got this whole patience issue I’m currently working on. So, this looks like a nice tool to include a little extra flair. However, it seems a pretty big investment when I don’t have any particular project in mind. At this point, I simply cannot justify the expense on a really cool gadget. As for the mixed reviews, from what I read, it works fine for what it’s designed for; small, occasional projects. But, as with everything, you pays your money and takes your chances.
