If you'd like to carve some intricate patterns into wood but were born without the crucial skills that would make such an endeavor necessary, put the noose away. Life is still worth living, thanks to Craftsman. They're releasing the CompuCarve, a device that can carve patterns into wood, plastics, or foam without your needing to have steady hands or any artistic leanings at all.

It comes loaded with hundreds of preset patterns for you to choose from, or you can load in your own and have it go to town. Some might say that this takes the skill out of woodworking, but one could argue that it just levels the playing field. Well, levels it as much as a $1,900 gadget can. — Adam Frucci
