The latest tool is a hand held motorised carver, which he assures me will help get more definition than an angle grinder. The funniest thing about it though, with the set of blades that you use with it, the manufacturers included a bright yellow plaster dispenser.
It remains to be seen what he will make that needs this kit, but there is some talk of a carved hare, which he is building in plasticine first to see what the lines are.
