Okay Andrew, how about this one? beeldhouwerijblog.nl/en/marmeren-beeld-van-shirdi-sai-baba-voltooid/ Don't worry, the blog post is translated into English :)
@@StanOwden cheers Stan. I do intend to upload more videos but work and family life are pretty full on at the moment. When things calm down a bit I will upload more.
I like the little hammer you used for tracing! Is that a pencil hammer? That is an ingenious idea I usually use carbon paper to transfer lines. Excellent work by the way!
Hi Bill, It's a Cuturi typo E bottle style hammer. I believe Trow and Holden make a similar type of hammer. It takes small chisels with a 7.2mm shank, but you could just as easily use a bigger hammer for the job, just take it easy and carve right through the paper. If done correctly, you'll end up with scraps of paper that are just perfect to handle for the detailing. It's just annoying that duct tape doesn't hold on this sandstone, but otherwise that's a lot easier than clamping the paper on. Or you could use a paper glue, but then you'll need to scrape it all off again. This is what works for me.
A Fröhlich & Klüpfel FK 702.4 Excellent hammer btw. Couldn't work without it. www.froelich-kluepfel.de/Stone-processing/Chisel-hammer/Weight-up-2-5-kg/Chisel-hammer-FK-702-4::1133.html?language=en They have this one in lots of shank sizes. It gives off both soft taps and hard blows, and anything in between. I use one with a regular 1/2 inch shank. F&K is one of the best brands out there
I’ve searched youtube so long for stone carvers. THANK YOU!!!! I love this is more than 5 min. long & your work is quality ! I can watch this ALL DAY
Cotton wool in your ears by day 2.
I’d love to what you could do with a block of Carrara Italian marble! Of course, the stuff is incredible expensive.
Okay Andrew, how about this one?

@@beeldhouwerijvanvelzen1533 way cool. I knew you could rock the marble!
All of that talent and it is waiting for an adventurist patron.
Oh not to worry, momentarily I'm nearly overwhelmed with work. Have a look at my blog! (beeldhouwerijblog.nl/en/)
