I am going to be carving into sandstone. I was told to get Trow&Holden lettering kit. It’s almost $400 so I wanted to ask someone bf I got it if this are the right tools for sandstone also is there anything cheaper and still good quality? I’m just starting out and don’t really know anything about it yet.

After I'm retired, I have a dream of carving the American Constitution into granite in a hidden location. Let future generations find it so they know how badly they screwed up taking it for granted.

Does letters freehand, and the right leg of the R is spaced further away from the main vertical leg than the other R...And he favors goin more vertical slope on the left of a leg making it more of a rightangled triangle than an equilateral triangle....must try this on my granite headstone 🪦

Don’t forget to use a H6 pencil … in fact as hard as you can get … a conventional HB just won’t stay on … stone is Portland best bed …

Hi Nick, the pencil is 9H an the stone from Purbeck not Portland
@candudaddy2 жыл бұрын
Someone commented that a concrete made from sand and Portland cement could serve as a practice stone but that it would not take the fine finish in the cut. Could a practice stone be made from just Portland with no sand or aggregate, or use a fine powdered amendment like talc, slaked lime, or silica that passes a 1000 sieve work to make practice stone? I do have a limestone quarry nearby but their main trade is for crushed stone. I could get a large stone from them, a ton or two in one piece, but I despair at the job of slabbing such a rock!

it is called engraving

I always thought that engraving was done in metal.This is lettercutting.

Hey! I’m just getting into stone carving my goal is to do a headstone for my father. I want to make it look like the old headstones you see in the cemetery from the 17 1800’s so I’m going to be using sandstone. If I could ask you for some advice on tools. I was told to get the Trow& Holden lettering kit but bc of the price and bc sandstone is a soft stone I wanted to make sure I’m getting the right tools. If there is a cheaper alternative that is still good quality that would be great too! Thank you in advance!
