- Short film of an ionic capital being carved by Andy Tanser, created by Thomas Wootton for the Art of Making in Antiquity project (www.artofmaking...). For more information see www.artofmaking... - www.andrewtanse... - www.thomaswoott...
Looking at this craftsman and the amount of time it takes for just this piece begs the question:" How did the great cathedrals find craftsman at this level (and so many) as to be able to build their great cathedrals. For years I was very curious about how the vertical flutings were so perfectly spaced and made on columns, as far back as the Greeks! Today, we would rotate stone (and they do) on a lathe. But the old masters had to use other methods.
Think about cutting all those large pieces of special wood for structural purposes. Did the use a two man saw? Even so, what a task. And all the Ionic, Doric and Corinthian ornamentation was HAND CARVED, no molds. These had to be very special men with great pride .
Очень восхищает такая работа, момлодец!
Is there another video on the next step in the process? How would you remove the chisel marks? How does it get smoothed out and polished? I am a woodworer that enjoys wood carving but this looks so fun. I must learn. Forgive me if this information is already there and I missed it thank you
Formidable!
الله يعطيك العافية يامعلم
What kind of stone is this? It’s beautiful, and looks like it carves really nicely! I’ve only carved in sandstone and in granite, (marble and limestone are not so readily available where I am) please let me know what that is! Also beautiful chisels... I like the design.. are the ends rounded so they don’t mushroom from the Mallet?
