I found out the font, but I heard you must PAY for it. I was wandering if anyone had a link to a FREE download of it. If so, please reply.

You 'heard'? Heard from where, the text in the terms of use that said you had to pay? If you found a "free" version of this it would be an illegal and unauthorized version. If you do not want to pay, find another truly free font that is similar. We do our best to prevent people from stealing our fonts.

I heard from a friend, which has the font...

Carpenter ... one of yours?

kirk talks in the name of font designers, i guess
As suggested above, troy, try to find a free altrernative to carpenter 'cause you won't get any help from here for piracy.
have a look in the calligraphy section : http://www.dafont.com/fr/theme.php?cat=601
