I found gold right here, it is extremely difficult to find good information about stonework, but now y know what type of chisel do I need as a beginner. I'm looking forward to watch more video like this! Thanks so much for your information.

@AtharJaber 3 года назад

Thank you for taking the time to watch. And if you have any question regarding stone carving, feel free to send me an e-mail or a DM on Instagram with your question. I'll be happy to help if I can.

A student on my Stone Carving Workshop sent me this link, and I think it's an excellent summary of tools. I think every professional stonecarver would suggest slight variations to your suggested capsule collection of tools - for example, I'd favour a dummy hammer + a medium vinyl mallet rather than a dummy hammer + and a pitching hammer, and I favour mallet headed claws, but nevertheless your video is really excellent. A very useful contribution to the field of stonecarving by hand.

These videos are the best orientation for stone carving on the Internet. Clear, detailed, easy to understand instruction. And, how could you not like Mr. Jaber? I just wish there was more of a documented body of work by Mr. Jaber. I've been on his site and have viewed many videos but few examples of his finished executions are available. Especially large, complex carvings. I believe they would add more credibility for Mr. Jaber and inspiration for those watching the videos and who are considering signing up for private instruction. If Mr. Jaber would consider producing a compilation video of his most complex and detailed creations I'm certain it would be a joy for all.

Really well explained. I’m moving from wood carving to stone so this information helped a lot. I would recommend a lavalier clip-on wireless microphone to reduce the amount of echo ‘ reverb in your filming setting.

@AtharJaber 2 года назад

Thanks so much for the kind words and tip. I recently invested in a lavalier and hopefully it will make a worthy contribution in my future videos. Good luck with moving to stone carving and let me know if you need any suggestions.

I’m inspired to begin stone carving for my artistic expression. I’ve always been fascinated by rocks and stones. The labor involved is exactly what I’m looking for as well. When I’m fully ready, I think your course is going to be a perfect fit. Thank you for the video!

You can find very cheap coarse grit files in builders supplies and crafts shops. Buy several and, as they're not hardened, bend them in the desired curve. May come in very handy

@tateranus4365 Год назад

Just out of curiosity about how much does a pneumatic hammer that you can use for both blacksmithing and stone carving cost, i have a massive compressor, the thing is borderline industrial sized. I also am planning on forging bronze as well but that is something I probably have the strength to do by hand, my forge is probably over a century old, its coal fired with a hand cranked blower if that helps.

Athar please let me know where I can order my beginner, letter stone carving set.

@Bos_Taurus 7 месяцев назад

That is great, but could you recommend a suitable stone for us rookies

@AtharJaber 6 месяцев назад

Good questions. For beginners, I recommend starting with limestones in the softer range, ideally with a hardness of 2 or 2.5 on the Mohs' scale. If the stone is too soft, the chisel will not have enough resistance to carve through, while if harder - like marble - it might be a bit frustrating to start with.

@user-to4qi8hz2r 9 месяцев назад

Where do you get your clothing?

@fx6042 Месяц назад

How do I level one side of a stone? I get about using water to mark it, but how do I split it to get one side flat if there is no flat side? For example, I have a stone that is just eating through the angle grinder concrete diamond discs.

@AtharJaber Месяц назад

Concrete discs are different from stone discs. Get a diamond disc specially made for stone. What stone are you using?

@JimBob-lz1gy 2 года назад

Hello. Can you sharpen Masonary chisels on Diamond plates, the same you would for hardened steel wood chisels? Many thanks.

@350zee1 2 года назад

Athar, where do you buy you're marble, do you get discounts from the quarry since you're a professional artist? I can't find a wholesaler in Canada that will send me a block from Italy, do quarries sell direct to customer's I dunno but I wanna know lol, how much does marble cost in Italy?

@AtharJaber 2 года назад

I order the marble in Carrara myself, but I usually go there to choose the blocks. I can imagine that getting marble shipped from Italy to Canada is not easy. Vermont marble is also a very good quality. Wouldn't it be easier to get in touch with quarries in Vermont? Also, check out this page: www.sculpturechannel.com/tools-suppliers/ There's a reference to a stone tools supplier in Canada, they might be able to help you.

@PilgrimofMatter Год назад

If I use a carbide chisel on marble, will that work or is the chisel too hard?

Carbide is perfect

Hello there! I've seen in a french video something called "Chemin de fer" to flatten stones and I can't find any information in english about that tool. If you google: 'Outil chemin de fer', you should be able to see it. But since I can't find its name in english, I can't order some.. I was wondering if anyone would know how they are called in english and where to find them in north america?

It's called a cockscomb, cock's comb or a stone mason's (french) drag.
