HOW TO CARVE NUMBERS INTO STONE USING HAMMER AND CHISEL - HOW TO CARVE INTO STONE - STONE CARVING 

Thank you for moving the camera around. Getting the different views/angles was super helpful.

I loved seeing that! There's an old stone church by me that was built in 1677. Some of the stone blocks have people's initials carved in them and one stone has 1677 carved in it. I used to look at them and try to figure out how they were done. Now I know. Thanks!

I guess I found me the Hobbie I needed!!! Immediately subscribed.

Making my own headstone in advance. Leaving the dates open…

Is that a type of sandstone? Excellent work, you made it look so easy. I've really been considering taking this up as a hobby.

Really good video, thanks for posting. I've carved wood in the past, but going to do a stone carving course for my birthday treat and super excited! Have subscribed :)

So much information packed in one video. Will probably never do this but I subscribed anyway. Well done.

When you mention that “V” look, I was trying to think of a word for it: Beveled? Not exactly. Chiseled? 😂

Interesting so where do you buy these tools and chisels?

Well as a Fin this wont help me since we dont have anything else than granite

Thank you this was a great tutorial! My husband is a mason and he wants me to chisel our house number on limestone. Your video is a big help. Subscribed.

Do you have chisels specifically for granite or if you get the granite ones can those be user on all stone

this is what Jesus does to the heart... amazing! he is alive!

You are the best.....what Talent.......

Thank you! We have some old limestone posts that I'm going to carve our last name in, as a surprise to my husband for Christmas!

What kind of metal chisel do you use in this one?

Where can i get this tools thanks great work

This is not what I was looking for, but I'm very glad I found it! You sir are very skilled at your craft! Thanks for the video!

Does anybody tell us what kind of chisel set can be used? ( any link would be appreciated)

What font are you using?

Great video. Would love to see you do videos on (1) types of stone you use, and (2) tools. Thanks, Mark

Can I ask where you got that hammer? I don’t know what to use. I have to make a rune stone this month for my senior capstone project. Thanks

I just started carving letters. The result is ugly, as expected for a first attempt. I'm really curious about choosing the right stone though. Here in America, we don't have the tradition of stone carving. I bought some stone from a building supply company, and they were more interested in telling me the color of the stone rather than type of stone.

It has taken some time to discover this site. Thank you very instructive. I have always been keen to carve stone and to generally use stone. I have learned a lot from you and I hope to produce something as beautiful and useful as you have. Thank you again.

Nice work! Where on the hardness scale would you put that piece of stone? I noticed you sharpened your chisel how much longer would it take you if your chisel was made of copper?

can you do that wit coper tools

Not to take away from your artistic ability, which is fantastic by the way, but is there such a tool as in an electric chisel? Basically a fine controllable power tool. Your video showed up in my feed because I was looking for a fine detail chisel to chop ceramic tiles and setting materials without damaging the surrounding tiles. Thank you.

Where do you get the chisels from?

Where can i get the print files for the letter/numbers cutouts?

Any recommendation where to get chisels for working rock?

Dishwasher loading - LOL!

Where do you get the raw stone?

Thanks!

How do you do it if you can't spin the stone?

Enjoyed your video, doing some research on this subject. Sister passed away and I was asked to make her tombstone. I’ve played around with stone but nothing this serious. Wanting to do it right you know lol Thanks for the tips and knowledge. Would be curious where and what you look for in your chisels? Any recommendations for a beginner? Thanks

I wish I could understand his dialect of English. Twenty percent of the words I heard were unintelligible. Thank you for this video.

We live in a circa 1918 historic district build to look like an English village, in the US, 2, 3 stories houses, slate roofs, metal flashing as slate caps. You sound like the wood pecker, who loves hamming on that metal flashing, at the top of the roof. 😊 You can hear him half a city block away. I believe he might be calling for a mate, as I have never seen craving, engraving on the flashing. 😮 We have graves dating to the Revolutionary War and back. You can find lovely hand V carved stones. Hard to read some on the battlefields, other places. Others that are placed stones facing south, in church yards, where the sun can strike them at an angle, V cut then casting the shadows, lovely 3D-ish look can be seen, and the precision seen. Nothing lovely, then a hand carved tombstone, I prefer seeing slate. Unfortunately, it's now mostly sand blasting with a pattern made, over polished stone. They are ugly as sin. Last stone cravers by hand, I believe, closed up in the 80s. Was located across the old farm road that ran by the once only cemetery entrance, next to a railroad. Used to drive by, it was one of 2 main roads up and down the peninsula, and you could see them chiseling outside on nice days in the spring. Rather, eerily business, like hearing a grave digger whistling at going about his work, as looking over from it was the large cemetery.

thank you for the lesson

lovely video thoroughly enjoyed it, never watched a "Stone carving" video like this. Needs just a touch more light at the carving area, other than that, brilliant. Love your work.

That was great. Thanks

I wish I had a lazy susan.

Скажите пожалуйста сколько такая работа стоит денег?

Great video. I have only just found your channel... I was looking for a basic way of recessing a small grate into a flag... now I want to carve lettering (and have already had a first attempt though the edges are not crisp enough) LOL. Can I ask, what the name of the serif font is that you often use in your work? I appreciate you use many fonts but are some better than others for beginners? Subscribed and am glad you are still planning on making videos.

Thanks for the lesson. Yet another thing for me to try my hand at.

How the hell don’t you have more views? This channel is gonna blow up for sure

Where do you get your stencils from ? the technique i was shown was to cut up the centre of the lettering then form the V from each side into the middle but i like your technique working from the edge in as i am a novice stone carver

I love your channel! I'd love to carve some Neolithic Triskelions on some big stones on my property - I wonder how they did it back then.

Amazing work, mate. where can I find a few of these tools? What kind of stone should I look for as a beginner?

Thank you for this video; one of the better letter carving videos I've seen. I want to do some amateur stone carving and videos like this help. If I was looking to practice letter carving, would mortar mix (cement without the gravel) be a good way to practice? Would it handle like stone enough to give me the practice I'd need? At least for the first few practice sessions.
