[@dannturbo]

Congrats on your patience and love for a skill that demands so much from its creator while receiving only a moments notice from so many of those that are lucky enough to behold it. Thank you for sharing and trying to teach. Perpetuating such an art is rare these days.

Thanks David!

This is beautiful. But imagine how people did it without electrical machines in ancient times!

[@fartingfox8072]

Isn’t he using a chisel in the video?

[@Seshnaga]

@@fartingfox8072 that looks electrical though

[@fartingfox8072]

@@Seshnaga the first one a little bit, but the last one is definitely not

[@Seshnaga]

@@fartingfox8072 yeah but the people of ancient times must have not had the first equipment

[@emilyparks7005]

@@Seshnaga all they did was follow the same general process. Hammer and chisel, then rasp, then polish with pumice. Its not rocket science and fairly well documented. Evidence of how they did this kind of thing (and the tools used) can be traced back well into the Old Kingdom of Ancient Egypt, which existed before the Bronze Age. Electric tools just reduce the amount of hammering you need to do. They just used copper instead of the modern Iron, steel, carbide, or tungsten.

Me: trying to convince myself I can do this 🫠

[@carlosandrecarlos556]

Mármore melhor pedra para se esculpir as esculturas saem mais realista do que nunca pena que os egípcios não o conheceram essa pedra mas pelo menos eles tiveram o acesso o alabastro que também dar para fazer esculturas pena que o alabastro é pequeno e são formados em cavernas por sais minerais e não vira bloco maciço como o mármore e outros tipos de pedras

[@YourAashique]

They make stone into silk.

[@zacharyphillips9294]

How much would this cost to make one of me? I’ve always wondered what it’d be like to have marble statues of entire families

[@AtharJaber]

Thank you for your question. For sales and commissions inquiries, please send an email to [e-mail]

[@nathankopfmann8659]

Is the medium marble or plaster?

[@JuniorLeshika-yl8mt]

How much do people pay you for a sculpture

[@swaroopsinghbhati5281]

As a hindu I am not impressed. See carvings of our temples which are thousands of years old.

[@dannturbo]

And how many have you made..? Hindu didn't make sculptures and art. Men and women inspired by Hindu tradition made the art... What have you contributed? Without a link to your personal contribution, I'm not impressed.
