= = = 4. Summary =
 * I learned a lot about Gargoyles in this project. Gargoyles are not a symbol of something. They are created to run the water off the roof in a safe and conservative way. They are still made quite simialar to today. In the ancient times they used a wooden mallet and a chisel to carve out the shape and disign, now a days cmost carvers use electric carving tools that woork simmilarly to a hammer and chisel. But some modern carvers still perfer a hammer and chisel. The most common thing that they are carved out of is marble or limestone, in the ancient times using marble was more common. A gargoyle could be shaped as anything from a monster to a friendly face. For example there were gargoyles that wear muscly monster versions of humans and then there are crazy mixes of mythical beasts and real animals. I learned all that from one website, Stonecarver.com
