How to carve stone by hand | The POINT CHISEL 

This is such an informative video on the basic use of point chisels and have learnt a lot from the video .Looking forward to more videos on stone carving .Thank you

The most detail I have seen on the point chisel's form and use. And no one else has shown bruising inside the stone. Thank you for this, looking forward to Chapter 2.

I use this channel to learn carving techniques for masonry projects that I work on. The simplicity and directness of your presentations are next to none. Keep up the good work.

Athar you are not just an artist but a teacher. Ive said this before on some of your other videos but your descriptions and step by step lessons are so great. I look forward to watching and learning much more over this new path in my life. You inspire me on each and every video ive watched. Its as if you are in my room speaking directly to me. I have no doubt that the way you teach is because of you love and desire to see that this ancient art form is not lost to laser cutting and AI artist who duplicate the works of great artiest like your self and Michelangelo in minutes and produce hundreds of these sculptures daily. But they will never have the love and passion that is seen in great works in history. I apologize for my ramblings I feel that AI and technology is going to destroy us. By simply desensitizing our desire to create and think for ourselves. But that will just be a first step for them.

These videos are hugely helpful and inspiring, thank you!

Thank you for commenting on mushrooming chisel heads! I still get leg cramps from a piece mushroomed steel flying into my inner thigh forty years ago. It had to be surgically removed and still hurts.

Wow, this is so helpful. I am wanting to learn stone sculpture when I retire this summer and just found your channel. I will be watching a lot as I try to figure this out. Thank you!

Can't thank you enough for sharing your knowledge and skills Athar, your videos are invaluable to a self taught beginner like myself

Top video! Ik begin beitels te verzamelen zodra de rommelmarkten terug opstarten!

Very good information. But, in another video you talked about eye and hearing protection.

Thank you! : )

Thanks brother

Thank you

Your English is fantastic!

love watching and you mentioned safety but for your eyes sake always model your safety goggles. Thanks for all your experience. djb

Should I use safety glasses or is that a waste of money and insurance?

Nice, but no eyewear?

Have you done a video about carbide point chisels yet? I can’t find one.

I am wanting to learn stone carving, where can I A)learn online? B) Purchase tools online I live in an area with lots of granite

Very useful advices. Thank you!!!

Where would I be able to acquire marble for carving? Can’t find any resources for this info

Where do you purchase your chisels?

why not harden both sides

i would be worried about getting chips in my eye without glasses on.

Can the point chisel be used to engrave stones

My bad as I see others also emphasized safety. oh well
