Default Foredom Power Carver

I just bought a new Foredom 5400 power tool.

I make walking sticks and I thought I would use the foredon to make carving the walking sticks a bit easier. I carve snakes on twisted sticks. I have done somewhere around 10 walking sticks. I've sold 4 or 5, but I kinda hate to part with them once I'm finished.

Take a quick look at the attached picture and any suggestions would be appreciated.

Default Re: Foredom Power Carver

Hi Randy, I really don't have any suggestions for improvement. I think your snake walking stick turned out nice. I have a Foredom power carver also and really like it. Only thing I'd like to have two power units, one for my 1/4 inch and one for my 1/8 and 3/32. Then I don't have to stop to change over hand units.
