Tools to carve stone
Rather than list the whole kit and caboodle, I thought I’d make a video for you. Apologies for the excessive views of my bald head! If you’re an amateur carver or just starting on the masonry path and want to know which tools I would specifically recommend, please drop me a line.
Dear Geraint Davies, a friend of mine is about to start an apprenticeship as a stonemason, and I wonder what kind of good-quality generic tool kit is required at this stage (which we may buy as a present). Can you advise? All best wishes, Frank Krause
Hi Frank
Gibsons do this kit which is a good start: https://shop.g-gibson.com/carbide-tipped-stonemasons-starter-kit-1230-p.asp
It’s vital to get the tool skills in first before advancing on to any of the other things we use in industry, and this kit seems to cover it.
Best wishes
Geraint
