Stone chisels are used to carve or cut stone, bricks or concrete slabs. To cut, as opposed to carve, a brick bolster is used; this has a wide, flat blade that is tapped along the cut line to produce a groove, then hit hard in the centre to crack the stone. [[Sculptors]] use a ''spoon chisel'', which is bent, with the bevel on both sides. To increase the force, stone chisels are often hit with [[lump hammer|club hammer]]s, a heavier type of hammer.
