I developed a set of chisels whose tool tip could be easily identifiable simply by holding it.
As well as an equally intuitive management system to store these chisels.
I prototyped each concept and gained feedback from potential users, their suggestions informed each stage in this iterative process.
Every tool tip can be assembled using the same handle housing.
Every tool position is easily identifiable with a quick swipe of the hand.
Every user that volunteered sighted and sightless was able to immediately identify which tool they were holding...
And its place on the stand.

This set of carving chisels allows every sculptor (both sighted and blind) to easily identify which tool they are holding without the need for visual feedback.
