If you appreciate this video or find it helpful, it really helps to keep making the videos with a coffee in hand www.buymeacoffee.com/Thestone...
In this video I will be teaching you to carve your very own house sign with tools you will find around the house shed or garage. We will be using a wood chisel found in the back of my van, a claw hammer from the shed and some old pieces of sandpaper. I will be carving into a piece of soild stone purchased from my local garden centre for only a couple of pounds. I will be talking you through each stage from collecting the stone, making the stencil and carving the numbers.

I wouldn't have thought a wood chisel would stand up to that. Excellent video. Very informative and entertaining. Thank you from Pennsylvania, USA.

Your instruction and video was very concise and informative…makes me want to give it a go. Live on a river and our rocks are not soft. But buying one from a garden center is a brilliant idea. Thank you for sharing

@ZygmuntKiliszewski 21 день назад

The rock is quite soft since the wood chisel was able to cut out two figures. You have to be careful when doing this because it can cause splinters. It was nice to see your work. Congratulations and best regards 👋💖😀.

@TheStoneRanger 15 дней назад

Hi, yes, it’s nice soft stone. One of the main reasons for picking the stone, good advice on the splinters.

@StanOwden 5 месяцев назад

@@TheStoneRanger Personally, I would never think of carving stone with a wood chisel. You've just opened up a whole new way of looking at this process. Do you think it is possible to do the same with a hammer drill? A hammer drill is something every man has in his toolbox. I searched on RU-vid and there is no such video. Do you think it's worth a try? If you did this, you would definitely be the first person to succeed on RU-vid.

@TheStoneRanger 5 месяцев назад

@@StanOwden Hi Stan. Using the right stone, you can really use a wood chisel to great effect, like on the cement mixer I did in a previous video. Thank you for the comment on that video. Regarding the hammer drill, you can use a hammer drill to move material on a carving, but the detailed parts are difficult as you don’t have speed control. However, I do use nematic chisels with speed controls from time to time, as you will see in the odd video, mainly to move stone in making birdbaths. But it can be used on lettering.

@clarkg9805 8 месяцев назад

Very much enjoyed your video. I've never tried stone carving, but I'm surrounded by sandstone here on the other side of the pond, so I think I will give it a try. What would you recommend using on Granite type rock? Thanks again, enjoy your coffee, think I'll join you. : )

@TheStoneRanger 8 месяцев назад

Always enjoy a good coffee, thank you. I hope you enjoyed yours. I would use a tungsten-tipped chisel for all my stone carving, whether it's sandstone, limestone, or granite. Just be careful with the granite as it can easily damage the chisels. I would recommend starting with sandstone to get to know your chisels and hammer before working on granite. I hope this helps.

@clarkg9805 8 месяцев назад

@@TheStoneRanger Thank-you sir, appreciate the advise. Yes I am working with some sandstone, although I do have a few pieces of granite laying around. I was quite surprised how tough sandstone can be when I went to chip off some of the rough edges. But I'm only using hardened steel chisels at the moment. Will have to purchase some tungsten-tipped and try that out. Your video's are very helpful, plus it gives me an excuse for another coffee break, ha, ha.

@cttdrn 2 года назад

I live near a beautiful river, and I was thinking I may go find me a nice rock from the riverside to try what you show in this tutorial. Do you think that would work? Are there stones that work better than others?

@TheStoneRanger 2 года назад

It’s great you are going to give it a go, I would love to see how you get on. I have carved some river bed stones for a customers before and some slate from a Welsh river both carved well. I would say with the stone that the flatter stone seemed better than the pebbles. There are a lots of pebbles out there that are very hard to carve without the right chisels. Good luck 👍

@cttdrn 2 года назад

@@TheStoneRanger I'll be on the hunt then! I'll be sure to send you a pic if I manage to make something that doesn't hurt the eyes too badly! 😂

@TheStoneRanger 11 месяцев назад

You are not wrong, it is definitely scratched. I jokingly said to a friend that Samsung should use my video as promotion for how robust their watches are, because I have definitely put it through some rough use.

@boudyalmallah2205 10 месяцев назад

are there types of stones that are harder than other? In my country we do not have slate, all we have is limestone. Does that work? I tried once with a screwdriver but i couldnt seem to dig deep into the stone. i was only able to chip away less than 1mm off the surface and ended up going outside the number's marking

@TheStoneRanger 10 месяцев назад

Hi, thank you for watching. We have all different types of stone here in the UK. Slate, sandstone, gritstone, and others. But like you, we have limestone and it can be very hard to carve. If you can get your hands on some Portland limestone, that is easier to carve. Alternatively, you can try getting some of your local limestone, but make sure it's very fresh from the quarry before it oxidizes. I hope this helps!

@robrechtboudens8166 Год назад

may I ask where you learned this

@TheStoneRanger Год назад

Hi, I am entirely self-taught, just getting in there and having a go and not being scared to make a mistake. The one ace I have up my sleeve is I am dyslexic, and this really helps with visualising a finished project. And in turn that helps me map out in my brain how I go about getting to completion.

@stephenedwards7995 2 года назад

What are the best chisels to buy?

@TheStoneRanger 2 года назад

I use Tungsten tipped, I have found them really good over the years. The size & style would depend on the project you are going to carve, for lettering I use 4mm, 6mm & 8mm as a standard tweaking to the project I am working on. I hope this helps, if you need anything just ask Matty @ GreenStone&Ivy

@patrickmitchell100 Год назад

My edging comes out bad it keeps chip off when I chisel. Any ideas would help

@TheStoneRanger Год назад

Hi Patrick, without seeing the carving, it’s hard to diagnose the problem entirely. The best place to start would be the size of the chisel's, sharpness and the angle you are holding them. I hope this helps, but please feel free to send me some photos, and I will see if there is anything more I can see. Matty ⚒️⚒️

@patrickmitchell100 Год назад

@TheStoneRanger awesome thank you I been watching alot of your videos it's the sharpness I been using cold chisels they have a very blunt tip I didn't know they had to be sharp😅 I sharpened them like i seen yours and problem gone I love your videos thank you and keep up the great work

@izzywizzy1422 Год назад

Do you think you can carve a house number with an old screwdriver??

@TheStoneRanger Год назад

Challenge excepted ⚒️⚒️

@The_One_Cosmos 2 месяца назад

A screwdriver won't hold its strength long to carve much stone, and will be ruined in the process as well. With a steel screwdriver, a bit of stone carving could be done just for a couple numbers or letters. It may hold up for a few projects. One with a plastic handle would bust up if hammered against much or with enough impact. They typically weren't made or intended to be used as a stone chisel.

@sdavis7916 7 месяцев назад

My God man, the way you got that all done with a hodgepodge of different tools not really meant for each other and cardboard, I'm guessing you could probably discover DNA using a microscope made from a coconut, a tube of glue, a screwdriver, file and toast
