掌握全面扎实的技能决非一日之功，众多艺术大师很希望能找到好的弟子，让自己的手艺能传下去，发扬光大，但是对民间工艺感兴趣的年青人不多。无论哪一种工艺门类，都要求作者对工艺事业本身很热爱，要专心，肯动脑筋，耐得住寂寞，抵抗得住外界的诱惑。工具是雕刻家从事创作的最直接的助手和伴侣。在木雕的工艺制作过程中，雕刻刀及其辅助工具起到十分重要的作用。俗话说：“人巧莫如家什妙”、“三分手艺七分家什”。看一个人的手艺如何，只须观察一下他的工具便能知晓，而工具的保养修饰，也能证明劳动者素质的高低。在木雕创作中，工具齐备，会磨会用，不仅能提高工作效率，而且在造型上能充分发挥自己的技巧，使行刀运凿洗炼洒脱，清晰流畅，增加作品的艺术表现力。Mastering all-round and solid skills is not a one-day achievement. Many art masters are eager to find good disciples to pass on their skills and carry them forward. However, few young people are interested in folk arts and crafts. No matter what kind of craft category, the author is required to love the craft cause itself, to be attentive, willing to use his brain, to stand loneliness, to resist the temptation of the outside world.Tools are the most direct assistant and companion of sculptors. In the process of wood carving, the carving knife and its auxiliary tools play a very important role. As the saying goes: "no one can be as clever as a family's goods", "three break-up skill seven parts of a family's goods". Look at a person's craftsmanship, you only need to observe his tools to know, and the maintenance and decoration of tools can also prove the quality of workers. In the wood carving creation, the tools are complete and can be grinded and used, which can not only improve the working efficiency, but also give full play to their own skills in the modeling, make the knife transportation, chiseling, washing and refining free and easy, clear and fluent, and increase the artistic expression of the work.
