To may be help with the quiet . . .

Cummins tools was in town for a sale last week and I picked up their detail
carver ($19.99 US). It looks like a ryobi and uses ryobi blades, which
don't come with the carver. Pluged it in an gave it a quick try and it
works. If you're interested in trying on of these gizzies for cheap try
