pneumatic carving hammer

["SandraHuck" <sandra.huck@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi John,

Thank you for your assistance.  Part of my frustration
is that I am in No. Maine.  I know of no one in the area
that uses power tools, (or works in stone).  The Univ.
does not have power equip. either - very low budget.

I've seen catalogues, but with all the equip shown, I
have a hard time figuring out what I actually need. I
know a compressor - any particular size? I don't want to
undersize. Does the hose just attach to that? Is the
hammer separate?  What are good sizes of chisels to
begin with?  I have some scrap stone that I could
experiment with - to get a feel of the equipment.

I work in alabaster & marble - would I be able to
utilize the same equip. for both?  Somehow I envision it
would be too powerful for alabaster - correct?  I am a
real novice and am contemplating finding some workshop
to go to to learn more, any suggestions?

Thanks again,
Sandra
