make of, make from, make out of---any difference?
For example: Ancient men made tools of stone.
Can I also say: Ancient men made tools out of / from stone?

I guess they're the same, but I'm not sure.

Thanks!

"Ancient men made tools out of stone." and "Ancient men made tools from stone." are both correct. :)
