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.
