These items are not available for individual purchase through any other channel, ensuring that they remain a unique, high-value signature of your commitment and mastery achieved only through the Elixir Range.
The Elixir Legacy Collection: Tools of Transformation
The Elixir Range is an immersion into a rare and powerful lineage, demanding not only a mastery of technique but also a command of philosophy and history. Your enrolment signifies a profound, transformative commitment. As a tangible validation of this investment, and as a permanent foundation for your future legacy, every Elixir Range participant receives the Elixir Legacy Collection. These four essential elements are reserved exclusively for those taking the Elixir courses and are not available for individual purchase. They are heirlooms, not just tools—a meticulously curated gift to ensure your master’s journey begins with the highest possible standard.
1. The Text: “The Court Master Way”
This is your philosophical blueprint, your private charter for mastery. Exclusively available to Elixir Range participants, “The Court Master Way” is a deep exploration of the Master’s Mindset—the patience, precision, and profound psychological clarity that define world-class court craftsmanship. This text redefines your approach, detailing how to recognize the emotional and historical weight behind every deliberate strike, transforming your work from labour into enduring legacy.
2. The Mark: Your Personal Mason’s Signet
Upon entry, you will be inducted into the Court Master lineage with your own Personal Mason’s Mark. This tradition dates back to the building of great medieval cathedrals and ancient temples, where the mark served as the master craftsman’s unique identity. For centuries, this symbol was essential for accountability, quality control, and lineage, identifying the stonemason responsible for every completed piece. This mark is therefore more than a signature—it is a powerful declaration of unbroken tradition, peerless quality, and personal responsibility. Crucially, your unique Mason’s Mark will be officially registered with the Guild at the Initiate level upon completion of the Elixir Range, granting you recognized status within the wider tradition. This Signet is your official, indelible seal of membership, empowering you to use it—with pride and precision—on all future work, declaring your artistry to be of the highest, exclusive standard and permanently cementing your place in this distinguished history.
3. The Tools: The Harold Pound Legacy Chisels
To channel the golden age of elite craftsmanship, you will be gifted a curated set of Three Harold Pound Legacy Chisels.
Forged in the spirit of the elusive London artisan, Harold Pound—whose legendary work was sought by giants like Jacob Epstein, Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore and whose tools shaped the lettering on the Cenotaph—these chisels are a direct, sensory link to a gold standard of precision. They are crafted in the same style and process as the originals held by the master to embody the uncompromising, unchanging quality that he still relies on every day, a testament to enduring excellence.
Crucially, each of these three chisels will be a unique and permanent heirloom: they are stamped with the Master’s mark to certify the tradition and are indelibly etched with your own unique Mason’s Mark, signifying your personal commitment and accession to the lineage. These are not merely tools; they are literally marked as yours, a unique possession and a symbolic extension of your will into the stone.
4. The Mallet: The Lignum Vitae Legacy Mallet
To complement your chisels, you will receive an unmatched tool of controlled leverage. Your Mallet is crafted from genuine Lignum Vitae (Latin for “wood of life”)—the world’s densest, most naturally self-lubricating wood, which has historically been used in critical applications like ship bearings due to its unparalleled resilience. This is the ultimate material for delivering precise, resilient force with flawless control.
Upholding the highest standards of quality and ethics, your mallet is crafted only from certified antique stock, wood cut over 80 years ago. Furthermore, it will be specifically chosen from a range of weights and balances to ensure it is perfectly suited to your individual strength and carving style, creating a truly bespoke, timeless instrument for your craft.
These four elements—the philosophical text, the exclusive signet, the bespoke tools, and the legacy mallet—are the tangible, permanent foundations upon which you will build your legacy as a Court Master.
