The latest cutting edge chisels.
Chisels:
I strongly prefer Italian carving chisels to just about anything else I have seen. These chisels have longer teeth than others I've seen, and seem to bite into the stone better. They also have thicker shafts, making them heavier, but easier to hold securely when needed.
My preferences are as follows:
- Large 4 tooth chisel (SSC: 302, TCS: 37424). Excellent for large scale material removal in alabaster and soapstone. Good in softer marbles too. 3 tooth (SSC: 203, TCS: 37427) and 5 tooth (SSC: 304, TCS: 37425) are useful too, but for me, less often than 4 tooth.
- Narrow flat chisel (SSC: 320, TCS 37403). Wonderful for detail work. Absolutely a critical chisel to have.
- A basic simple point (SSC: 311, TCS: 37400) is good to have. Something heavier will be needed in hard marble, but these are good for most soft stones.
- A flat chisel can be useful in places too. I like 1/2" or so (SSC: 321, TCS: 37406).
- Pitching tool (SSC 327). For removing huge amounts of stone.
- Narrow tooth chisel (SSC: 305, TCS: 37432, I think). Useful for controlled removal in alabaster and soapstone.
- Frosting tool (SSC 450 or 460, TCS 37610 or 37611). Puts textured surface onto a carving.
- Carbide chisels of various types. Great for harder stones, but brittle. These are very expensive. SSC and TCS both carry various types. San Francisco bay area supplier Renaissance Stonecarries various carbide chisels too, though not Italian ones.
- Cathedral chisels. 4-5 inches longer than standard chisels, these can get into nooks and crannies that would otherwise be hard to reach. I've only seen these at Renaissance Stone.
As you can see, I use nothing but the best for my BS.
Martz was 56-36 with 4 playoffs and a SB appearance. In 5 1/2 years. Not counting OC in 99. I can't believe there is a Rams fan who lived thru the last 20 years who can discount that. To me he's an obvious interview for OC. At least, if you're trying to win. As Blue and Gold has done an excellent job of pointing out, rumors of him losing his touch after the Rams are greatly exaggerated. His winning percentage and QB performances using what (aside from Cutler) most other teams considered scrub QBs would seem to be appealing to a team with 3 open spots at QB and no obvious options to fix that beyond Bradford and his knee.
If he isn't bringing his time machine to get Warner and Faulk he won't accomplish much.
He was FWIW hired to save the HC's job after they were on the hot seat,even in Vermeil's case, the exception there was the talent, even Martz can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit but I DO BELIEVE he can get more out of lesser talent than anyone I've seen.
The biggest fly in the ointment is both Fish and Kroenke have reason to not want him back here.
That's just an impression that doesn't take into account that he had an NFC championship game in OT with Bulger,right now from where we are that looks pretty damned good
Nice cherry picking. Let's see with Warner Martz had Faulk. As well as an all star receiving corps. With Bulget Martz had Faulk and Jackson receivers and OL. Cutler had Forte and again a very good offensive line and defense. Outside of the championship team he inherited tho.not once did he coach a top 10 offense. And no playoff appearances. I'm guessing people love it when you are on their side of the argument. Btw, Martz was NEVER Head Coach of a Super Bowl winning team genius!
Ac
tually he was on a Bears playoff team. Got caught up in the moment. But, wouldn't you like to hear Cutler's take. Fact is. Martz kills QB's
Sorry, but that Bears team DID NOT have a very good offensive line. Hardly.
On top of that, his top 3 WRs were Earl Bennett, Johnny Knox, and Devin Hester.

Rams should try to bring Martz in a QB coach and have him assist in evaluating these QBs (draft and free agency).
As offensive coordinator? Not when you want to run the ball.

Must have been someone else who went 12-4 and scored around 440 points with Marc Bulger. Probably one of the other crack OCs we had.
The facts are undeniable. Climate change is real. The Industrial revolution played a great part. And other than the GSOT Martz had a substandard career. I suppose you don't believe Roundup is killing the bees either.
The facts that matters most to me are, you've been told to drop the AGW because it's divisive, the personal attacks as well and pick ignore facts about Martz that don't serve your opinions AND seem to be baiting into as many controversial topics as you can in order to insult other posters
I'm curious... what are those reasons?
Kroenke knows him from being part owner of the Rams for those years.... but not sure what reason he would have to not want him back.
And I can't imagine Fisher knows Martz much at all... so how could he have a reason?
I'm not on board with bringing Martz in, but your comment is intriguing.
I dont know how any team can expect Martz to just turn around their offense without letting him bring in some personnel.
Kroenke was part of the owner group that fired Martz and reversing that in a way is an afront to Shaw in particular, who Krooenke remains close to, Fisher ,for him it'd be an ego thing , sort of a if you can't beat em join em thing, JMO any pre existing animosity or reason for any comes into play
