Chisel



         


A chisel is a tool for carving small pieces out of a hard material such as wood or stone. It is made from an inclined plane (called the blade) attached to a straight handle. A worker forces the chisel into the material causing a small piece to break free. A mallet may be used to drive the chisel. Chisels are used extensively in woodworking and sculpture.
