It's a resurrecting art, with masters like yourself. Working in stone is like free solo climbing, big wave surfing, extreme skiing. Its a one shot deal, that takes loads of concentration! I look forward to every single video!
I love going from stage “What is he doing? That’s not going to work!” to “Blimey! How on earth did he managed to do it?” in my mind while watching masters carving the stone.
Hello Stan, It's always a treat to get comments like yours. I really just want to show people how it is done. I remember the first time I saw a carver use the air driven hammer, I was in awe, as I had only known the hand held hammer process. THANKS!
Thanks Mike and Wayne! That was very informative! My appreciation of the amount of work it takes is increasing! Many lifetimes can be, and have been spent working stone.
Thanks Phil, watch the other videos as well, the key is to just start with out any worry of the outcome. We have all been programmed to fear failure, as Bob Dylan wrote, when you ain't got nothin' you ain't got nothin' to lose. From the beginning of time man has made marks on stone, what did they have? nothin'
its an air driven hammer 3/4" connected to an air hose (1/4") and an air compressor. Trow and Holden co. Vermont. also Dallet, Granite city, and various others. Also shop ebay, you might fin used ones, they run forever it seems.

They must have used some type of mechanical advantage to help them.
Wish more of today's buildings were built this way. Thanks
yes planner machines and turning lathes, back in the day , last century or two, incredible feats were accomplished in the building industry.
Thank you both for the great content.
your very welcome
This is awesome to watch, I work with limestone everyday and want to learn how to carve.
