How To Carve Letters Into Stone by Hand

  1. I love to look at letters carved in stone, but not sure that's my thing to actually do. It's an interesting video though. And I'll hopefully remember it if I ever get the urge to carve. :)

  2. I'd probably misspell a word and ruin the whole carving! 😂

  3. This is oddly satisfying to read there’s something meditative about carving letters by hand. I love how it makes even a small “time-waster” feel meaningful.

  4. I am in awe of such skill and craftsmanship. Patient people. careful and painstaking with a great eye for detail. Never knowing quite how the stone will behave or react must be a constant concern.

    1. Yes, because if you chisel in only one direction, the stone may fracture.
