Default Palm Control update

I've just finished cutting out the design outlines on the second plate of the carved gun using the PC, this was after using it for about half an hour a few weeks ago. It's surprising how quick you get used to it. The main hurdle to get over in the learning is (IMO).... because it cuts so easily, you have to learn to hold it back, it does all the work, all you have to do really is guide it!
I can see that for the absolute beginner the benifits would be seen almost straight away. As everybody who has learned to use a push graver knows they're not easy to control, this is almost like riding a bike.... ok, a slight exaggeration there, you have to be able to draw a little and also know which way to form the cuts, but it has surprised me
