Mainstone Carving
Registrace 9. 08. 2017
I'm Tom, a trained banker mason and stone carver, showing the work I make so that people can have a better understanding about how the ancient trade of stonemasonry is done in the 21st century. Hopefully you can join me on my journey to make some cool stuff from the unforgiving material that is natural stone.

This is a good example of a solid days work in a production masons workshop. Template making and cutting quality and accurate masonry elements. In this video I make Portland basebed limestone voussoirs (arch stones) for a moulded doorway on a private residence. I hope you enjoy the content and find it informative and entertaining.

What a beautiful piece of work one thing i would love to learn is letter cutting thank
So enjoyable to watch. Kudos
my favourite yt channel
Thats wicked man! An other way of transferring the letters on to the stone is to rub charcoal on to the back of the paper, stick it to your stone with tape/blue tac then with a blunt-ish 10-H draw around the printed side of your letters then you should have a nice out line :)
Nice work
A lost Art!.
<3
Beautiful work.
Great work as always Tom.
Just take a gluestick, paste the paper onto the stone and carve right through the paper. Easy peasy.
Great video! I would love to see more free hand work
You're a genius
Hi really nice achievement just with an image very nice job
Great vid.. I have just started out with a small workshop after many years fixing. Just hammer and chisels for me with a few power tools. Thanks for sharing your skills. Gives an old man hope..👍👍👍
My uncle carved one out of clipo. He got me into the Masonry game
What kind of stone are you working with
This is Cadeby limestone.
Absolutely awesome work mate. Whats up with the cracks in the finished product, are they a feature of the stone or something you've repaired and if so what did you use to bond those?
They are ancient fault lines which have re-bonded over a very long time so are solid and nothing to worry about. Just makes a nice feature of the stone. Similar to the veining you find in many other stones.
@@mainstonecarving Very cool, I appreciate you sharing your knowledge 👍
Beeeeeeyooooodiful.
Beautiful work, where did you serve your apprenticeship?
Thanks, I was working for a firm on Portland, Dorset for my apprenticeship. great place to learn from some highly skilled masons. I was very lucky to have the apprenticeship I did.
How long teke you to lern this beitiful carving, very nice
How much does a job like that cost that shit seems insane I wonder how long each one takes
Very interesting. Some similarities to woodwork but very different in other ways. I can see why you have a bunch of grinders. Subscribed.
Brilliant, I tip my flat cap to you as a fellow Holmfirth lad. How long did it take to make from start to finish?
Thanks man. Hard to know really because I did it in my spare time but I would probably put 3 days to it.
Haw long take to lern this craft?
im 15 years in now and still learning but the actual apprenticeship is 3 years. traditional apprenticeships are 5 years. I would say after 5 years most people were pretty competent if they do it ever day.
Absolutely fantastic 😊😊😊
Your work(art) is beautiful.
thank you!
I’m a bricklayer of 22 years, about to begin my training with a stone mason tomorrow. Absolutely cannot wait
Brilliant!! Good luck with it. 👍
Nice
I drink silica shake for breakfast
I used to do same kind of job in mexico
This was beautiful to watch!
Wish you had more of this carving stuff... you can do a lot more than stonemasonry only
very good.
Its a beautiful thing.
Beautiful work...!!!...Thanks for sharing this...
Great to see the variety of work that Banker stonemasons encounter. This short video illustrates a number of designs for headstones and memorials. The use of hand tools in conjunction with grinders and air chisels was good to see, especially how each was utilised to form rustic, chamfered and stopped edges. The close up shots are extremely helpful. As always the standard of workmanship Tom is superb. Looking forward to any future posts - most grateful to you for taking the time to promote this wonderful craft!
Lovely stuff
You make it look so easy mate. Always enjoy your videos and get the urge to get back into being creative. 30+ years as a Mason and would be carver 👍 🏴
Loveleh .
Beautiful work.
Just think - a real life Ancient Alien living and working in Yorkshire. What a world!
I thought it was only me who made up curves 😂 this makes me happy. Your vids have been really handy for me over the last few weeks. Appreciate it 😎
Absolutely beautiful and well crafted. Well done!
Looking forward to the freehand owl 🙂 Loving the vids
Couldn't agree more on the styrofoam packaging. Some people hand me their scraps of foam plastic, which works great if it's not too heavy, and it doesn't break and crumble all over, but it's not really suited for everything and it's still plastic and expensive. In Germany twisted wood fibres are used a lot, but that really is not a substitute for eps either because it's not flat. Wood fibre boards are not great either cause those get soggy in the rain and can stain the stone..... what else?
I use carpet a lot. It gets heavy and impractical though so I always keep styrofoam as well.
Actually you know what’s pretty decent is the expansion joint foam. Stays together. I’ve got a 40mm thick piece of foam I’ve cut up it’s absolutely amazing.
Get better soon!
If you ever need to replace the brush on an angle grinder always look for the power source. If it’s powered by compressed air then remove the tube. If it’s powered by a battery then take the battery out. If it’s powered by electricity then unplug it. 2:46
Insane that’s amazing
Nice work!
Nice and informative stuffs mate, shoutout from Danish banker 💪😁 We do very much the same here. We also use the electro plated ones for cutting marble and "crisp" stone
Awesome!!! Ooooo crisp stone sounds tasty.🤤
@@mainstonecarvingtbh mate, it was terrible 😂 think it was called "belch noir" sold as marble, act like flint stone or glass 💀 high rotation, 0 wobble electro plated and it would still splinter some corners
