Arbortech Mini Carver Review (Powercarving Tool) @tmuWolverine

Uploaded March 2019 | Updated September 2026, 20 hours ago

This is the Arbortech Mini Carver, which is their latest evolution of the Mini Grinder. I’m going to spoil the surprise and declare, in an absolute sea of power carving tools available these days, the Mini Carver stands out to me as the best all-in-one, start-to-finish tool for a beginner. But unlike most beginner tools, this isn’t something you grow out of and replace, but rather compliment it with other tools down the track.

So, what is it?
You'll have to watch to find out...

Arbortech Mini Carver Review (Powercarving Tool)

$TV Unit with Power Carved Ripple Sliding Doors For a long time our TV unit was one of those relatively inexpensive, seemingly everywhere generic “low line” beasts. Two glass doors, flanking two wide shelves that were never tall enough to put anything in, and a drawer on janky slides. We were able to get rid of that earlier in the year, so it was time to invoke the power of woodworking to make a new TV unit. We had just a few clear requirements – fractionally wider than the TV, no deeper than it needed to be, and the same size as our speakers (Yamaha NS-690s, inherited but great sounding speakers from the ’70s), and a design that matches in with other furniture in the house. Ideally, something that would minimise the access our cat has to cables and devices. Cabinet is made from Victorian Ash and Australian Blackwood.
