Part II

Here is an example of what I mean by longitudinal lines.  You have to keep the aspect ratio aligned, this is how you do it. 

Tools Used

  • Three Pound Hammer
  • Steel Chisels (You can use Carbide, but I don't.  see below)
  • Pneumatic Hammers (Big, Medium, then Small)
  • Pneumatic Steel Chisels
  • Pencil
  • T-Square

  • Rasps
  • Sand Paper

Step 1: Selecting the Stone.  Limestone comes in several different types.  I needed firm and solid.
Step 2: Draw what you plan on carving
Step 3: Rough Out major gaps (Grinder)
Step 4: Begin to rough out smaller more complex areas (Pneumatic Hammer)
Step 5: Redraw image in three dimensions (draw the front view)
