[Woodcarver] Roughout Machine

[Mike Gratton]

Joe,

I really enjoyed reading that article in Carving
Magazine. 

So far all I have is a scroll saw and a miter saw. 
Bought them for specific projects around the house. 
One of these days I'll get the rest.  Until then, I
carve little things and take most of it off by hand.
