Tools
The tools used were hammers, chisels, air
powered hammer, steel bits and
wedges. Once the dynamite was done being
used a method called "honeycombing" would be used to
easily sculpt the granite by hand. The honeycomb
method was when the workers would drill holes close
together in a honeycomb fashion. (NPS). The forces of
the tools could be easily recognized by F=ma. The air
powered hammers a.k.a pneumatic drills use a piston
system the is moved by a high pressure of air which
then drives the drill bit down and up.
