A time lapse with audio of the carving of a stylized, italic S in stone. Part of a phrase carved by hammer and chisel by Joel Penhorwood. More online at treasuredstoneworks.com/
Perhaps a better angle for the camera would be on a tripod over your right shoulder. Zoomed in a bit, and that way your hands wouldnt obscure much of the process. Otherwise, very satisfying to watch and hear.
Depends on the hardness of the stone, width of cut and how hard you hit them...frequently, as soon as you think they're losing their edge slightly, sharpen them while they're still sharp is best practice, on a wet whetstone, in long figure of eights, without rocking them, 3 or 4 times along the whetstone's length is enough.
Greetings fellow redditors! Lord Lucullus Frederick (Fritz), your friendly Reddit spokesman here. I would like to welcome you all to this exquisite and euphoria-inducing video. Please do enjoy and do not forget to upvote our fellow comrade's video, or I will be forced to sick my trusty beast companion (cat) upon you. El oh el, I jest, I jest (he/she is very friendly.
Hi! I'm also new to the chisel carving hobby, I've been doing it about 3 months now. I see you made a pretty bad looking error in the first 4 seconds of the video by making the bottom of the S significantly lower than the bottom of the H. Is this your first week or so doing this hobby? If so, welcome! Do you intend on posting update videos as you get better? Keep at it and in a few years maybe you'll be good enough to tell when your S is going to come out looking as bad as this one did earlier on in the carving process like I can tell. Maybe more than a few years because that S might be the worst I've seen in my life lol. But anyway keep at it man! You got this! ♥
@@treasuredstoneworks Haha so you're not a bad carver you just pick bad fonts? Rough life man! I wish you the best and hope you pick better looking more uniformed fonts in your future projects!
