- Creating a marble bust of my father was an intricate journey blending modern technology with timeless craftsmanship. It began with a 3D digital scan of my father's likeness. Using advanced scanning techniques, every detail of his face was meticulously captured, ensuring accuracy and precision.
Once the digital scan was completed, it was processed and refined to create a 3D model. With the model finalized, it was time for the printing phase. Utilizing a high-resolution 3D printer, the model was brought to life layer by layer, using a durable material suitable for sculpting.

After the printing was finished, I received the digital printed bust, a tangible representation of my father's image in its raw form. This served as the foundation for the next stage - the carving process.
Now, armed with traditional sculpting tools and a block of fine marble, I began the meticulous task of carving. Every chisel strike was guided by the digital model, ensuring that each contour and detail matched the original scan. It was a laborious process, requiring patience and precision as I carefully sculpted the marble to bring my father's likeness to life.
Day by day, the rough block of marble transformed under my hands, gradually revealing the familiar features of my father's face. Countless hours were spent refining every curve and shadow, striving for perfection in each stroke.
Finally, after weeks of dedicated work, the carving process was complete. The marble bust stood before me, a testament to both modern technology and ancient artistry. It bore a striking resemblance to my father, capturing not just his physical appearance, but also the essence of his character and spirit.
As I gazed upon the finished masterpiece, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. It was more than just a sculpture; it was a tribute to my father's memory, immortalized in stone for generations to come.

As a former stone carver, it thrills me to see people posting the traditional sculpting techniques mixed in with newer technologies like 3d scanning. Shows that the old methods are still very viable, and shouldn’t be lost to the newer generations. Thanks for posting your videos!
The cross over Interests me. many of our tools have evolved but many processes are the same as they have been for centuries ⚒️
my friend's papa was a "marmista" (a marble cutter) here in italy, he died of a respiratory problem caused by not using professional breathing protection
Im 71 and never cease to be amazed how skillfull some are. And modern tech. I think also of the skills with the old technologies e.g. the Ancient Egyptian sculptors and before that. thanks for sharing, most enjoyable.
Thanks Robert. I'm also continually amazed by the sheer scale of the works of the ancients. Even though some of the tools have evolved, many of the processes and techniques i use today have stayed exactly the same
The Italians and the Greeks.
the fact that people used to do this with a hammer and chisel, could not have been any sort of an easy task whatsoever.
You're right. The tools we have at our disposal today certainly speed up some of the processes... but the principle and and the processes we have to go through to get to the final surface are Still exactly the same ⚒️
Read about Michaelangelo's experience with sculpting. He was always in pain and had respiratory issues.
And files, look up the marble net sculpture in Napoli, no one would help the carver as they were frightened they would break it, took six years, Francesco Queirolo in the 1700s.. I saw it last year, the best sculpture I have ever seen.
Man, you are so valuable! Please watch your lungs!
You're correct PPE is essential.
also my thoughts, it's easy to be complacent until there's no time left to be so
that's all I could think of while watching.
Oooh the algorithm hitting today. Beautiful craftsmanship.
Sometimes it's kind to us 😂⚒️
this guy looks kinda like Winston Churchill. this is crazy, many props to you
This is a level of skill and patience I will never know.
Today there are a lot of high end technology to help the artist create a portrait in stone and it is nice, but I can't imagine how incredible it was in past, when the artists did not have any digital tools like today. They were the the master of masters.
I use the tools that are available to me to today.. some tools and processes have evolved... many are exactly the same as they've been for centuries. I believe carvers of the past also would have used technical innovations of their day to improve their working practices ⚒️
@@timbates921 It doesn't matter what type of tool you use and the great artists used, in the end you and all of them are great masters of the art. Your work is wonderful.
@@OLODOOMthank you for your kind words. ⚒️
I got the impression he was using the same techniques that would have been used to measure the actual subject. The digital scan and 3D print simply saved the subject from having to sit still for long periods having his head measured.
We getting outta the quarry with this one 🔥
Blown away, just like the dust! 👏👏👏
Thank you ⚒️ 😊
It sucks that such talented people have such little followers on social media.
It is what it is😂⚒️
todays society is against value. people hate real talent, people hate truth, wisdom, and everything what made our civilization.
if an onlyfans lemming would start his own "art-channel", and she would be making pathetic trash sculptures from cardboard boxes, but in a bikini, she would gain 3million followers within half year and people would be like "OMG you are not just making my dick hard, but you are a REAL ARTIST TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!".
these people just want to take revenge on their aimless lives, and they want to live in a world, where famous people have no gift, ability, value or anything. they want ordinary people to be famous, because thats the only way for them to believe/think that
1) one day, they can be famous too, because it doesnt require anything. being ordinary is more than enough
2) they would never be envious again, because of 1)
no one really thinks about those painfully bad art-channels that they are "omg"
but saying nice things about worthless crap is always satisfying for the ego, because it requires no honor, moral, or self respect
nowadays people are so insecure and ashamed that they are almost unable to evaluate anything what reminds them that they should do better
I don't have words to describe that beautiful master piece. You are exceptional at what you do.
Thank you for your kind words ⚒️ 😊
This is beautiful! What a wonderful tribute to your father. This is something that will be around thousands of years after we are all long forgotten!
Thank you. Let's hope so⚒️😊
Maybe I'm just lazy but I would have been happy with the 3D print, lol.
Awesome video!
😂😂
That’s one way to remember a loved one. Bravo 👏 👏 👏
Thanks for watching ⚒️
What an incredible work of art and skills you have! It leaves me completely speechless.
Thank you. And thanks for watching ⚒️ 😊
Now I know what I'm getting my family for Christmas this year. lol
🤣🤣🤣⚒️
Great job......love the smug smile. In Denmark we say "He has a fox behind his ear".
I love that saying. Brilliant
I want to touch that sculpture because it looks so amazing! It looks like it would feel so smooth and cool. Yet the face is warm and caring. I LOVE IT!!!
Thank you. It is a very tactile material
From one artist to another. Wow!
This just made me realize how much talented beyond his lifetime Michael Angelo was...he was able to work with huge marble blocks with who-knows-what primitive/limited materials he has.
He was definitely a master of his craft
Your work is beautiful. I have rarely seen sculptors be able to capture expressions and emotions with such realistic detail. Thank you for bringing beauty into this world.
Thank you for your kind words Doug. I'm glad you like the finished piece ⚒️
When it zooms out looks so real🤤😳😄
Thank you
exceptional... especially like the iris shadow/highlight
Thank you ⚒️
AMAZING WORK. You're a Modern Michelangelo.
Wow..Thank you.. thats some high praise.... but he's on a totally different level!! We're not even playing the same sport😂⚒️
Absolutely love this! Would love to learn someday.
Absolutely marbleous!!! Pure craftsmanship! Thank you for creating this channel.
Thanks for watching ⚒️😊
Stunning
That's astonishing!
Thank you ⚒️ 😊
Small channel that's been blessed by the algorithm... good to see ! hope your channels grows from it.
Thank you... Sometimes it is just kind to us ⚒️🤣
That’s crazy good
Fantastic work, i love the little trick with the eyes to give them life, amazing.
Thank you ⚒️ 😊
Amazing work.
Impressive. Thats talent right there.
Thank you. 😊
Amazing, was expecting him to speak towards the end, envious of your skill.
😂😂 that would have impressive. ⚒️
Pure genius!
Thank you ⚒️ 😊
Could you maybe talk about the "matrix of the face" and how you were mapping from the cast to the piece? That was super interesting and I've never seen it before.
It's a process to get 3d points of reference In depth width and height that gives a map or matrix to carve to. I talk through the whole process in alot of detail in my previous video titled, how I carved a rock icon. where I carved David Bowie's face in marble. Check it out ⚒️
Beautiful !
Thank you 😊
Extraordinary...
That's amazing
Thank you 😊
Former sculptor here. Very fine work, well done!
Thank you ⚒️
What a talent you have!
Exquisite.
Thank you
Phenomenal work and a moving tribute.
Thank you ⚒️ 😊
IM - PRE - SIO - NAN - TE . Felicitaciones 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Gracias! 🙏
Damn man that’s amazing. So cool how it’s done with the tool to keep it perfectly scale
Some tools have evolved... but the basic process is the same as its been for centuries ⚒️
Wow!
Absolutely amazing! You’re so talented, what a beautiful sculpture , so realistic.
Thank you. I'm extremely happy with the result. I'm already looking forward to my next portrait project
BRAVO, this is amazing.
Thank you... and thanks for watching ⚒️
Excelente trabajo, todo mi respeto y admiración.
Excellent job, all my respect and admiration.
Gracias. Thanks for watching ⚒️
Unbelievable work,off the charts..well done sir! 👊
Thank you ⚒️
That's so realistic, I'm almost expecting the head to start talking. Amazing work!
😂⚒️
Incredible animation of a stone, that I would take the bust for a living person, if did not know the truth! You are the Master.
Thank you ⚒️ 😊
Amazing! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching ⚒️
Truly amazing. My cumpliments from Brazil!
Thank you. Greetings from the UK ⚒️
Incredible artistry and craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing this. Your father must be blown away by the love in this image.
When the light hits the bust just so, it comes alive.
Thanks, James. It was a pleasure going to see the finished piece with him this week at the Society of Portrait Sculptors SPS FACE2024 exhibition where it's currently being shown. It's on until 28th April @ The Garrison chapel, Chelsea barracks, London. Pop along if you're in the area. There is alot of fantastic contemporary portrait sculpture being exhibited ⚒️
SICK BRUV!
Sick is as sick does... it's all in the editing ⚒️😘😘
amazing! How did they even do this back in the day without these modern tools?
Slowly! ⚒️😁
I've seen a few traditional sculptors in Rome use this same process, with very similar tools. Other than that power tool all the measuring stuff would have been the same as was used thousands of years ago. Very nice dude.
The process doesn't change even if some.of the tools evolve ⚒️
that's badass
Thank you ⚒️ 😊
Great video brother 🌟 thanks for your awsome editing skills ❤
Amazing work !!
Thank you ⚒️ 😊
beautiful!
Thank you for your kind word.😊
WOW AMAZING xx
Thanks Debbie ❤
Excellent!
Thank you ⚒️ 😊
Your incredible patience paid off.. Beautiful work sir, you captured soul.
I say this as a self taught super realist oil painter myself.
I love Michelangelo, and I love marble.
In a sense it's soft, and sensitive.
You need to be very focused and light handed to work it.
So many people think it's solid rock, it's not, it's crystal. ❤
Thank you for your kind words. I also admire the work of Michaelagelo, amongst others (check out 'Jago', a contemporary Italian marble sculptor). I find Marble is a joy to work with and allows me to capture subtle details in a way other stones don't. Where can I view some of your work? ⚒️😊
Amazing talent
Thanks Becky
Unbelievably skilled, fantastic 👍
Thanks for watching ⚒️ 😊
Excellent work...but just imagine people of the Tube Michelangelo's David being sculpted with no power tools at hand...wow! Subbed...
Thank you. It blows my mind what the masters achieved ⚒️😊
I am so envious of your skills, I have none myself and to see this is amazing. Good luck to you sir👍🏻
Thank you kindly, sir ⚒️😊
Incredible talent
Thank you ⚒️ 😊

Fantastic.

Ok, so today’s 3d printing and lathing can complete this task in an hour. Should we cry, or celebrate? This man’s hands and intelligence are honorable and noble. We must preserve human skill and passion. How do we balance progress with human hands? Why teach the young, when automation will do it without complaint or demand?
The blending of the 2 that interests me... both age old processes, techniques and tools and modern, digital processes available to us today. Carvers through the ages have utilised the technical innovations of their day to improve their working process... the pointing tool I use in this video was only invented in the 1700's and had been a staple measuring tool for portrait carvers ever since.... thanks for watching ⚒️😊
Guauuuuu, que lindo!!!
Gracias 🙏
Thanks for watching ⚒️
Beyond awesome.
Thank you ⚒️ 😊
@@timbates921 i have a playlist called awesome talents, you're in it.😁👍
@multi_misa72 Thank you, that's a great honour 😊⚒️
Impressive skill/talent/art.
Can’t help but be amazed how the Italian and Greek sculptors like Michaelangelo with no help from modern technology.
I believe they had many assistants and apprentices helping do the heavy roughing out work that I do with power tools. ⚒️
@@timbates921
Yes, that’s right.
But new tech is way more useful than assistants.
Agreed... and easier to manage 😂⚒️
I like the technical aspect. Allows for unforgiving precision, yet inhibits no talent. You make my carvings look childish, and I'm in wood.
Thanks for your kind words. There are so many different styles of carving around the world, and each has its own merits and challenges. But pursuing and being true to our own style and process is key to creativity.⚒️😊
I should like to carve marble some day and your work is hugely inspiring. I'm trying to figure out my creative process because my internal vision seems limited so I appreciate enjoying your work in the meanwhile.
Do you carve at the moment in any kind of material?
@@timbates921 Not currently. I do repair work and rebuild things such as walls, floors, foundations, and mechanical work.
Your neighbors must love you
😂😂 they are very understanding ⚒️
Michaelangelo walking into that Studio would probably throw everything out except for the Mallets, Chisels, Rasps, Files, Measurement Guages, the Polishing Stones and Powder Abrasives he would bring himself....
Either that or he would embrace the new and available tools... and utilise them to realise his artistic vision. As Sculptors have done through the ages. ⚒️
@@timbates921
How many "New" Chisels have been "embraced through the Ages" by Sculptors, in order to "realise their vision"....."New" Mallets, Rasps, Files, Measurement Gauges.....?
About the only "New" anything being embraced by Sculptors, has been the advent of Lasers and Electric Tools, Polishers and Polishing Compounds and absolutely none of that can be said to be "embraced through the Ages"... Michaelangelo would probably be impressed by the ease with which he could save time using Electric Tools, Polishers , but I get the feeling that he wouldn't be pining for a "New" Chisel to "realise his Artistic vision"...
Hardened steel chisels negated the need for blacksmiths to work continuously alongside Masons... and tungsten carbide tipped chisels now allow us to work the hardest stones without the need to sharpen for days.
Mallet have changed from wood to nylon giving longevity and an arguably improved bounce. The pointing tool ( depth/measuring gauge) i use in this video was first invented in the 1700's and has been used by sculpors to achieve their artistic vision ever since... files have evolved through the ages, from iron to hardened steel to diamond braised improving efficiency... technology changes and even though many of the processes and techniques I use today are identical to those employed for centuries. I use what is available to me to achieve my vision in an efficient mannor... to suggest that old masters wouldn't have done the same is naive in my opinion ⚒️
@@timbates921
Right... ofcourse you speak for all Sculptors, your presumptive point scoring pomposity is revolting, I've been using Chisels and Mallets, Rasps and Files, passed down through my Father's Family since they were crafted in Holland, my Family's involvement with Stone-Masonry/Sculpting dates back to the mid 1600's, my Forefathers were members of Stone-Masonry Guilds and have through the following generations contributed to Cathedral Restorations throughout Europe, I have Chisels that belonged to my Forefathers that are over a hundred and fifty years old which I have used to create finer aspects of Marble Sculpture such as a "Veil" effect, seriously, you talk about the "depth/measuring gauge" used in the video being"first invented in the 1700's" and "still being used by Sculptors to achieve their artistic vision ever since ", yet assert that my comment about unchanged tools being important precisely because an "Old Master" would probably find them preferable, is "naive", you bluster on about Sculptors embracing innovation to "realise their artistic vision" but then, in a single stroke, have entirely contradicted yourself. If it's adversarial engagement you're looking for, try your Mirror, there's a sh*t-load of indignant desperation for relevancy, going on right there.
Bravo le sculpteur ❤ ❤❤
Thank you ⚒️ 😊 💓
I WISH I could get a clean image like that with the scanner. I have tried the baby powder, settings, lighting, etc and just cant seem to get it without a million hangups :(
And props for keeping an old art form alive, but the real skill is doing it without all the fancy gadgets :P
Im sure Michaelangeo used calipers etc but not drilling into the marble with power tools and precise depth points LOL
It's amazing the level of detail the scan picks up.
Even though the pointing tool i use for depth measurement wasn't used by Sculptors untill the 1700's... Michaelagelo would most likely have used the 3 callipers triangulation method to determine exact points of reference from a model.... and even though he didn't have any power tools for waste removal, he would almost definitely have had a team of apprentices/assistants doing a lot of the grunt work😂.... but fortunately for me, working on my own, stone carving tools and processes have evolved over the centuries ⚒️😊
Awesome
Thank you ⚒️ 😊
100%. Amazing
100% Thank you for watching
Oh ma gawd!!
Thank you⚒️
Brilliant!
Thank you ⚒️
Wow
thank you for posting your work process! It made me appreciate much more deeply the works of the great renaissance masters such as Michelangelo. I recently read his biography and marveled once more at his greatest sculptures, but seeing the amount of work you had to put in with electric tools made me wonder how many thousands of hours he had to put into his flawless masterpieces. The kind of detail you achieved is impressive! Consider yourself a master, if I may say so.
Thanks for your kind words. What is the name of the book? I would be interested in reading it.
The big difference in how I work to carvers of old is ... i believe they would have had many assistants/apprentices doing the work I do with power tools. ⚒️
Thanks for watching ⚒️
Assistants galore and the drama that came with that lol the biography is titled “ Michelangelo: Romain Rolland's Artistic Portrait of the Renowned Master.” Again thank you, and enjoy. Keep sharing your work! Hope you are recognized more widely and that your art may sustain you in life.
Wow man that’s simply amazing!!!! Great work, I’ve always wanted to learn how to do that for a cool hobby but alas I’m old and tired and work a lot and raise kids ect ect ect but at least I get to watch other cool people create amazing work
It's never too late ⚒️
Thanks for watching ⚒️
