What tools does a Stone Carver need?

There are a variety of essential tools and items that any Stone Carver will need to take them through the process of carving stone. These will include the following:

Stone Punches and Points

These tools help you mark a piece out and are used to cut and remove most of the stone

Claws and Chisels

These tools are used to refine the shape and add detail using a rasp or riffler which can be smoothed with a rubbing block before polishing.

Hardened Steel Chisel

This type of chisel is used for soft or medium stone such as Alabaster and Limestone.

Carbide Tipped Tool

The carbide is used for tough stone such as marble.

Lettering Chisels

These chisels are used for more delicate work such as lettering.

Diamond Whetstone

The whetstone is used to sharpen the chisels using water or oil. Preferable use water. It is essential to keep the chisels sharp otherwise it will be very difficult to carve the stone.

Bench Grinder

The bench grinder is used to sharpen chisels.

Mallets and Hammers

These mallets and hammers are used with the chisels. A dummy mallet can be either made from metal or wood and weighs about 700gms.

Pencil

Sharp 6h lead pencil for limestone and marble, and a water-soluble white pencil for slate.

Sharpener or Knife

It is essential to have a sharp pencil so use a sharpener or preferable a knife which will give you a good point. You can then sand it to sharpener it further.

Ruler

The ruler is used to draw the top and bottom lines for any letter carving work.

Rubber

When you draw the letters or inscription onto the stone, you will find you will need a good quality rubber to make adjustments.

Safety Glasses

It is essential to wear to safety glasses when working with stone to protect your eyes. It is also a good idea to wear protective gloves.
