Hi! Christian, Excellent your diorite stone sculpture. The diorite is too hard for calving, but beautiful black stone for sculpture a Pharaoh. Thanks for job carving sculpture on RU-vid channel.
Now do it without power tools! Make sure it’s a perfect mirror image and accurate to a couple thousandths overall. Then polish it to a mirror finish, don’t forget the small details like fingernails.
As we all know the one thing that will be around in 20,000 years is this stone sculpture well unless it's smashed. The one material that stands the test of time for several Millenia
Excellent work. I came here because I was curious how egyptians were able to carve such hard stone into such perfectly smooth surfaces, possibly just with hand tools, and it made me realize that they most likely had some kind of way of sanding for the final finish or else how else would they ever have gotten things so incredibly perfectly smooth in such hard rock that was carved?
Abraisive like silicon and alumina oxides occure naturally and were the go too until the introduction of diamond abrasives in early 20th century. The speed it can be done with today is the only real change.
Esa piedra es de papel.....tallar eso es como tallar arcilla..... Imaginen a los egipcios de la antigüedad, tallando granito o una piedra más dura aún : la diorita...... Y no me digan esa estupidez que fue hecho por los extraterrestres.... Tenían pocas herramientas pero les sobraba capacidad e ingenio.....una combinación que hoy se reemplazó por un ejercito de máquinas y una creatividad pobre, dando como resultado : el "arte" moderno.... Desde Argentina un saludo de Eduardo
The footage skips from having a blocky outline of a statue directly to there being a figure carved into it and you showed none of the process of getting there.
This is really cool. I've been wanting to stone sculpt for a while, but I live in an apartment complex, so I can't. There're very few videos on stone sculping here, so this was nice to see.
