Carbide Chisels
Last week we told the story of how the team in Colorado (as a gift to the monastery) molded and cast copies of the carbide chisels now in use in sculpting Iraivan Temple. It is important that we show these chisels, partly because they are the brilliant invention of our own team in Bengaluru and partly because otherwise visitors in the future will be unaware of the change from mild steel to carbide-tipped tools.
Yesterday the monks installed them at the Temple Builders' Pavilion, on the stone you see here with two siplis seated. The slide show reveals details.

Congratulations to the Bengaluru team members responsible for this nice invention!
Very thoughtful of the Mathavasis to add these beautiful replicas to the Temple Builders’ Pavilion.
Thank you! Aum
