Traditional Stone Carving Techniques- Hand and Machine Chisels for Stone Carving Video 1

Sculptor AC Button II of www.carolinascu... discusses hand and machine driven chisels used for stone carving. The goal of the Traditional Stone Carving and Traditional Stone Finishing videos is to preserve this heritage craft by preparing individuals for further in-studio training and apprenticeship.
After a brief overview of sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous stone, Button presents and discusses a wide range of tool or fire steel chisels and carbide chisels specifically designed for a similarly wide range of stone carving duties. Specific applications and chisel & hammer combinations are clarified, to benefit performance and minimize damage to tooling. This includes topics of tool design, heat treatment and construction. This information is intended to guide users towards the proper tool for their needs and provide guidance towards actual use & maintenance once purchased.
