What type of carvings are you thinking of doing as you can use a shain saw or a small file to do very different carvings.

A small bandsaw or jig saw would do that. Hoby Bandsaw

That's not carved, that's sawn...

Was just using it as an example of the size of things that I want to do.

Haven't really got the room for large electrical tools at the moment all the work will be under taken in my bed room no where else to do it.

You can get smaller hobby bandsaws, about the size of a shoe box that will do that sort of thing, you just need to spend more than 20 seconds looking like I did.

How about you just try your hand at it first, go whittle some sticks with a pen knife. If it looks better than a simple anti-vampire device consider it a bit further. It would need to be pretty good to be sale worthy, even if it is i.e. a hippy shop selling stones and glass beads healing crystals.

You can get small kits of basic wood carving tools, knives chisels etc. Just as important would be the material you were working with, research it properly before spending money. knife kit i.e.:

One thing that is quite cool is a spoon carving knife - for doing the bowls of spoons. My younger bro is a bit of a knife/gun/bush craft anorak and has one like this, bought from a guy that makes them on a forum for £25 ish. Bro said the eBay versions suck though:

Have a look at the "Axminster" tools website or catalogue, it should give you a rough idea of what's available and how much you need to spend!

Thanks for this route as well will check their website and see about getting a catalogue ordered.

Have just found a router brand new with about 100 bits and an electrical sander of my dads that I can use which should get me started.
