What kind of firebrick? A lot of times people will pick up fire brick from there local hardware store. Most of the times, this fire brick is super hard, and not easy to carve at all. It’s also not all that absorbent. What you are going to want is a k-23 refractory fire brick. It’s softer and easier to work with. It’s closer to Y-tong. You can charge it with a screwdriver. The proper carving tools you will probably want will be a dremmel, router, drill press, and chisel.
