I love this lady although I am already through this phase in my carving techniques I really like the way she goes about giving instructions for absolute beginners i wish I saw this when I first started out it would've saved a lot of my projects that I messed up but had to learn through trail and error I had no mentor so I'm grateful for the tips I've gotten on YouTube over the years it has more impact on people's lives than you realize
I can tell that this is going to be good. I really like her accent, and she is lefthanded, and so am I. I am so excited, so I’ll get back to the video. Oh! And I guess I am elderly, getting on towards 8 decades;-)
That’s a Portuguese hammer. And it’s designed so you don’t hit your hand with heavy blows for bulk working stone.
If you glance a chisel with it it’ll bounce away and out if your lucky with is most likely. But with a flat faced hammer it’ll skim down and smash your knuckles.
I’ve used them and yeah they make a huge difference, love my bell hammers
ancient roman stone carvers approve of this video :D letter carving remind me of those roman public buildings that had lots of text carved into their facades
A Native craftsman from the Granite trade center of the world Barre Vermont ..I have to day you weren't trained here... cutting a groove in a letter..and Vtooling a letter are two different things..those letters aren't finished really. The grooves hes has cut. Do not contour the letter and the tapering from polish to the center " v line" is non existent.. sorry..
