Thats the easy bit, i just manually holed about 12,000 of them for a house on lake windemere. Don,t think i ever want to see another. Burlingtons were the ones i did.
Pretty nice Stone you have to work with!! I hope you are getting a premium price for all hand cut pieces like that! FYI I have a few trimming machines I will let you use if needed! Nice Work!
Hi There, would you be able to point me in the right direction to purchasing the slate splitting chisels? all i can find in London are brick chisels that are too thick. many thanks in advance
