What is Power Carving?

Power carving is a fun and accessible way to shape wood using electric tools instead of traditional hand tools. It allows you to smoothly carve, shape, and add detail to wood with ease—perfect for beginners and experienced makers alike. Unlike hand chisels and mallets, power carving tools do the hard work for you, making the process faster, more enjoyable, and less physically demanding. Whether you want to create stunning sculptures, intricate designs, or textured finishes, power carving gives you the freedom to bring your ideas to life. This course will guide you step by step, helping you gain the confidence to start carving from day one!
