Chiseling Techniques

Chiseling techniques involve carefully removing material from surfaces using a chisel and hammer to shape, carve, or smooth the surface. Skilled artisans or workers select the right type of chisel and strike angles based on the material and desired detail. Techniques include controlled strikes for fine detail, sweeping motions for larger areas, and angled impacts to create textures or depth. Proper chisel handling ensures precision and prevents damage. These methods are essential in sculpture, masonry, woodworking, and restoration, requiring mastery of tools, understanding of material properties, and steady craftsmanship to achieve accurate, clean results.
