I could not keep my eyes off this from start to finish. You showed an excellent example of the technique of marking out that I will remember. Thanks Wayne. Power to your elbow.
IainB THANK YOU! , I to enjoy watching the crafting of raw materials, especially no talk videos. So I have been trying to mimic the no talk method. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks to the air driven hammer that reduces wear and tear on the elbows.
That's mesmerizing, Wayne! I couldn't take my eyes of the work. Thank you for the video! All the while I'm scheming in my head how to get 'some of that' in a meaningful way. Even seeing the small slabs in background gets me excited. That's for sharing your knowledge and skill!
Hi! Greetings from Southern Ontario, Canada. Mike Haduck sent me here and I can't wait to see your incredible work. I'll be 60 years old shortly and it looks like I have myself a new hobby and hope to learn a lot here. Cheers!
Excellent demonstration of the technique. Nowadays we do tend to speed up things by using diamond blades on angle grinders, but unless you understand the underlying carving techniques and principles, you'll never get that quite right
Beautiful work! Im a mason in NYC we restore Brownstone facades and we build the design in place. Stone carving will be something I would love to learn.
Nice! Only cut lime on a hand full of projects my experience is in sandstone-I’m a Scottish mason- my YT is for gaming stuff but concisering doing masonry content on a different channel, I’m subbed now keep up the good work in sharing your skills for future generations 🤟🏴🇺🇦 respect 💪⚒
I personally would always choose to use the air chisel but there's a ton of companies that swear by hand making. Even they rough cut with modern power saws though
Yeah, its all a matter of personal preference, just like transportation, there are different means to the same end results, depending on a multiple of variables an to each his own.
Hello Tom, please excuse the delay in my reply, yes it is a full stroke, that's all I use, however I have used the short stroke for delicate work, as it is less aggressive. In the stone world as in most others time is of the essence, and so I use the tool that removes the stone faster.

Keep making these videos
THANKS MIKE
a very cumbersome way to do that. simply cut the offsets with a diamond blade angle grinder. and then chiseling in the curves saves a lot of work
This is incredible. I work as a stone mason but have never carved stone. This is so interesting to watch.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, my goal is to educate.

Check with your local masons, I'll bet they have some they will just give you.

Sounds good, why not try it, you might like it.

That's very true, only by doing can one fully understand the process of wasting material in the fastest way.
Nice to finally see how this is done - great video!
Thank you Steven!
Very nice
Great video! I learned some much from you and Mike. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, I'm actually going to give this a shot thanks to you guys!
Thanks, Michael, you have have nothing to lose.
That motorized chisel cuts like butter! I guess limestone is easier to work with than marble.
Yes limestone ( Indiana ) is about a 4 on the hardness scale, diamond being a 10 and marble being a 6 to 7
TrulyThank You! Your videos are wonderful . Learning so much.
Your very welcome Doug, my goal is to teach this trade.
Very nice thanks for showing us you make it look easy
Your Welcome PAUL, practice.
Very cool!!
Thanks STENZEL! I appreciate your comment. My goal is to pass on this trade thru no cost to the viewer videos. I'm very glad that you enjoyed it.
Thanks from France.usefull vidéo in my opinion
THANK YOU
Obra de Arte 👏
Thanks
You think one can learn this by them self? Well i mean from following youtube videos and having some artistic talent? Thanks for the video.

That's an interesting division of labor. I wonder why it evolved that way. Probably due to urban density.
Give it a try, you can use any chisel on limestone, tools should be sharp, use any hammer to start, wear eye protection.
That was awesome to watch 🙂
Thanks Teri, I hope to be down your way sometime later this year, so I would like to drop by for a visit.
@@wayneferree5053 Wayne that would be great, let me know when !
I will, thanks

THANKS RTP I will as long as I am able to, I will share my experience for Free, Good to know a fellow stone man take care.

Really cool. It's almost no different from the way you'd do it with wood if you were just using chisels.
Nope heritage firms who forego using power tools basically are doing the same thing as carpentry chiseling.
I personally would always choose to use the air chisel but there's a ton of companies that swear by hand making. Even they rough cut with modern power saws though

is that a short stroke or full stroke air hammer ?

Thanks Aaron, practice practice practice.
