Carving Marble with Traditional Tools

[@anthonyfrade5203]

Sculpting stone without machines is hard work, Michelangelo was probably ripped.

After a few months of carving stone sculptures every day, I suddenly had the urge to do some pull ups. I did about eight fingertip pull ups - before that, I don't think I could've done one if my life depended on it. People would joke about my hand crushing handshakes.

[@yramecarg3549]

How the heck did the ancient romans do all this so detailed

[@dante8999]

First they would make a clay sculpture and spend months to years refining the details... Then they would use large calipers to get the angles and details right by copying what they already made. This technique is still very popular today

[@dmitrishostakovich9559]

And I can't even draw a car

[@romulusbuta9318]

Yeah. ....Ancient Rome was an empire. ....so they could afford to import artists, craft-mans, arhitects to work for they. (Like Appolodor from Damascus ) The sculptures belong to Italia Peninsola becouse that people PAID for sculptures ,not becouse thay made them !!!!! Sculptors and workshops were mainly greeks !!!!!!

[@knutz7]

Benini made over 80 starting from 20 years old or something. I dont believe it’s at all possible. What was the secret I wonder.?

[@aokiaoki4238]

They took it ready from the Greeks

[@DaltonGarrison]

I could be mistaken, but I think he meant that the types of tools an artist uses is not what determines their greatness.

It blows my mind that people in the first century created such art with no power tools. Just...wow.

different artist prefer different tools, im sure there are benefits to every tool from every era. Really enjoyed the vid, great job

When you think how bernini for example did his sculptures so realistic.. it blows my mind 😮❤❤❤

[@JeriahsWillGDP]

Just imagine how many times the artists smashed their thumbs.

[@michaelbumgardner771]

Ah! I've always wondered how they got it so smooth centuries ago. All I could picture was a guy standing next to a finished statue with a hammer and chisel in his hands. lol

[@simonlinser8286]

I thought the sculpture was inside the stone. He's just removing the parts that aren't the sculpture. Great stuff.

[@ryk543]

I think about these sculptures everytime someone talks about how hard the boxes at Giza would be to make

[@DanSwansonArt]

Granite is a lot harder than marble

[@vivaankalla3310]

Very good

How did they sculpt the virgin with veil statue? The veil is transparent and amazing - just unbelievable.

[@turtles6610]

I've also seen some like clay turtle pots for planting. Those would be much easier. But trying this way first. Unfortunately my tools aren't perfect though.

[@MyPalJimbo]

Godspeed to you, Turtles

I will once do the sculpture of myself or my beloved

[@robertcholmondeley113]

This dude sounds like he is in 'zen' mode constantly...

[@JonabelzB]

Is a hardwork .. beautiful

[@turtles6610]

Trying to make a turtle out of it. Harder than I anticipated. But hopefully I'll be a be able to sell it well. Also trying with wood.

[@hernanrosales5547]

[@monte21228]

What were chisels made out of back in Michaelangelos day?

[@SammaNoyobay]

I like to carve stoone too

[@degreatal]

does the marble sculptor, especially for the realistic model, has no room for error or mistake?

[@julietfischer5056]

There's little to no room for any sort of error in stonecarving. It depends on the subject, and where on the sculpture the mistake happens. Otherwise, the sculptor must begin again.

[@ΔεαΚ]

From what ive seen in museums,statues if they dont have a hand or head where it was supposed to be theres a square carved into it and then it makes me think that the statues mightve had multiple pieces and were put together. Same with the columbs

[@missyrose2154]

Imagine how careful and exact you had to be back then . One mistake and you could throw off the whole design !

[@questionc9312]

Sounds like steve brule

[@alexanderleeart]

@coolin7000 Hahaha I love your little poem here and agree with it. And it's pretty silly not to use at least a power drill. The greats were not great because of the type of tools that they used.

[@Z3uS2]

It looks like an oldschool drill.

[@Ferda1964]

I feel I could sculpt but never really tried it

[@nizmojoeblows]

i hope that isnt finished.

[@julietfischer5056]

That depends on what the artist intends. I've seen sculptures that look as if they could get up and walk away, and others that are deliberately blocky and crude-seeming, and a variety of forms in between. Or they chose to end the video there because it's more of the same until the sculptor finished the piece.
