CHISELLING Meaning and Definition

  1. Chiselling, also spelled as "chiseling," is a verb that refers to the act of carving or shaping something using a chisel, which is a cutting tool with a sharp edge at one end. Chiselling typically involves striking the chisel's blunt end with a mallet or hammer to create precise cuts or ridges on a material such as wood, stone, or metal.

    This technique has been used by artisans, craftsmen, and sculptors for centuries to create intricate and detailed designs and patterns. The process requires skill, precision, and control to remove small sections of the material gradually. Chiselling can be employed to create three-dimensional sculptures, carve out letters or symbols, or smooth rough surfaces.

    Chiselling is a versatile technique that allows for a wide range of applications. In woodworking, it enables the creation of intricate furniture detailing, relief carvings, or the shaping of individual pieces. In masonry, it is used to shape stone or brick, create decorative features, or prepare surfaces for further treatment. Chiselling is also utilized in metalworking to remove excess material, shape joints, or add texture.

    Beyond its practical uses, chiselling is also regarded as an art form in itself. It requires patience, creativity, and a deep understanding of the material being worked on. As technology has advanced, chiselling has been supplemented by power tools like electric chisels, but traditional hand chiselling remains highly esteemed for its precision and the unique character it imparts to crafted objects.
