Tool Suggestions Please
Hello To All, from the Isle of Lewis, Scotland!
My sculptures involve carving in Cornish soapstone and alabaster.
This is a recent venture and I am now attempting to find and purchase tools
appropriate for the type of stone. The difficulties involve the initial
phase of cutting away surplus area enough to start shaping.
The work is quite small. Presently, I use various hand saws which are
inadequate, time consuming and causing some degree of pain to my shoulders.
Can you please help with suggestions as to the name/brand of tool[s] to
buy - a small hand-held power tool or saw ? Thank you.
Cheers,
Jane
