    dont know why this doesnt have more views. the world needs more videos like this, literally just a guy sculpting and explaining the process; every other video is either really low quality and messy or theyre really all over the place and boring, idk, ur vid kinda struck a chord with me, its simple and to the point.
    great job dude hopefully youll make more vids in the future

    A little trick my grandfather taught me was use a sponge as the backing of the sandpapers.. You can also use a glue to shape the sponge (to slightly harden it) and then glue sand directly to it...some finishes require you to screen the sand for size...and when you do this use (olive oil) to wet sand....given a little time it will polish to a mirror finish...good work though...👍 much impressed

    Excellent work. I came here because I was curious how egyptians were able to carve such hard stone into such perfectly smooth surfaces, possibly just with hand tools, and it made me realize that they most likely had some kind of way of sanding for the final finish or else how else would they ever have gotten things so incredibly perfectly smooth in such hard rock that was carved?

      Abraisive like silicon and alumina oxides occure naturally and were the go too until the introduction of diamond abrasives in early 20th century. The speed it can be done with today is the only real change.

    Thank you for sharing this project, I admire your tenacity to see it through. It makes me think of how much work the Egyptians took on. I understand what you mean about getting fatigued and just wanting to finish it. That mindset change is the hardest to move past, I find. It’s almost like the true test of life is to continue on and keep shaping and never resting or being completely satisfied. Even if someone spent 50 years shaping a massive obelisk, I can’t imagine it’s easy to just lay down the tools and say “well I’m finished with this one.” So much time invested into perfecting a masterpiece, I think it would be almost impossible to not see a tiny surface you want to just touch up a little. Lol 😂Awesome work man 👍👌🇨🇦😎🍻
