Thanks, it helped me to gain some confidence to finish my stone carving project with screwdrivers. I wasn't sure if I should do it or not but seeing you able to do so smoothly I'm sure that I'm also going to do my best!
Nice job! You just showed how easily accessible stone carving is without the need for expensive tools. I'm sure the expensive chisels are a lot better to work with, but this was an eye opener. Do you sharpen your chisels to a really sharp point or just to a certain angle? I would think you would not go super sharp because you are pounding on stone, but now we've got me wondering.
Hi, TinkersShop. When I first started carving I used wood chisels and old metal hole punches I sharpened on a bench grinder. I never really sharpen to a real point, it’s more of a bull edge.
Well done. Seeing as you have a piece of stone, it has a no.5 in it, you used a screwdriver I would say challenge completed. Is there any stone you cannot carve/refuse to carve (eg granite etc)
Thank you, I have carved loads of different stone over the year. Some I have definitely enjoyed more than others, but none I have refused because of the stone. With a granite/marble I just use a different set of chisels and take my time
