After speaking to a friend who is also thinking of purchasing the Earlex HV5000, he pointed out to me that he has come across the Apollo 1200, its in the same price range but looks more "industrial" but i know sometime looks can be deceiving. Has anyone out there got one or seen some...

Well i think the Earlex HV5000 has won it for me...... :shock: I'll be parting with some reddies just slightly above my budget but hey...we all got to start somewhere...... Things that swayed me are your input, Phillys review and the numerous videos on youtube by the Wood Whisperer and...

I am thinking of taking the plunge for the Earlex HV5000, although ideally i would like to be spending up to £100. The fuji systems are a bit out of my league for the moment. I now the HV5000 would be able to handle wood finishing but would i be able to paint my walls with it, (thicker paint)?

Thank you for your kind offer..... I've seen some reviews of the Q4, i must say it is definately quality, however i am knew to all this and wouldn't be able to justify the amount it costs. maybe the Apollo range would suit me better....i've seen the Spraymate which goes for around the £100. has...

yeah earlex seem to come up quite a bit on my online searches. They have quite a few models, the cheapest being £37.49 HV1900 from Argos. Has anyone got any experience with one of these? Which earlex models would provide the best balance in terms of quality and price?

Thanks guys, quality is definately everything and it does come at a price, i don't think i'm going to hurry and buy a cheap set either. so its time to save up while keeping an eye on the bay for any good deals out there..... :shock:

After a little browsing and viewing some amazing tutorials i'm definately pursuing either chip carving or relief carving or maybe both......

Thanks for the tips, i'm more wanting to carve out pictures rather than figure carving. i apologise i don't know what the correct term is. (similar to a painter on canvas). Ill definately do a lot of reading before i purchase now. Are there any good online tutorials out there, unfortunately i...
