Hammers & Mallets
Stone hammers, masons hammers, mallets, bush hammers, dummies and pneumatic tools — matched to the blow the stone can take.
The mallet is where force enters the stone. Too light and you chip away for nothing; too heavy and you drive a crack straight through a block you have spent a week on. Weight, face shape and handle length all change the blow.

Stone & Materials
The six working stones most sculptors actually buy. Hardness, grain, porosity and what each one will and will not tolerate.
Chisels & Carving
Flat, point, tooth, gouge, V-tool and lettering chisels — what each one removes, and the stone hardness it survives.
Finishing & Polishing
Rifflers, carborundum, abrasive papers, polishing pads and wax — the grit sequence that turns a chiselled surface into a finished one.
Safety & Workshop
Respirators, eye protection, benches, vises and dust extraction — the equipment that keeps a studio usable for decades.
