Superb Stonemasonry content detailing the marking out and making of a complex arch voussoir component The This 2nd Part highlights the importance of extremely accurate making out on curved sections using the box trammel and a systematic approach to removing checks. The purpose made mini - trammel was great and emphasised the necessity to make specific tools for simple applications or needs. Other great tips given and demonstrated ( regarding grinding wheel cutting direction near delicate moulding regions) and also guidance on overcoming occasional mistakes. The completed component along with its arch counterparts are finished to perfection - absolutely first class craftsmanship and a pleasure to watch, learn and be inspired by. So grateful Tom !!!
Good of you showing that tiny human character in the carving, i.e. you repairing the pinged-off corner. So recognizable and shows your attention to crispness and detail
Great job! I also work with stone and, despite my extensive experience, I would hardly be able to make such complex geometry by hand with the same ease and efficiency. Although maybe I'm just spoiled by my CNC. Very impressive work! Bravo!
Beautiful work mate! Any chance you could give us a run down on the main types of grinder wheels you use? It looks like you’ve got quite the collection. Cheers.
More great work. The explanations are a great insight into the setting of rebates and trammeling of them to overcome the length of the trammel you have. Just one question on your dry setting out of the finished arch... will the voussoirs have that size of joint? They looked about 10mm in the video. I would have built them with 3 to 5mm joints. Or did you just keep the stones further apart to avoid any chipping on the pallet? Keep up the good work and videos
Thanks, Im glad it was helpful. I think the joints when I layed it out were around 5 to 6 mm. I didn't spend the time to measure them out exactly but they are specked to be 5mm joints when its built.
Cleeeean!
Good on you for showing the damage to arris and how to blend it in, I feel a lot less inadequate now😊
keep going, you're doing a lot for our profession!
Thanks. I really appreciate that.

Very interesting. Some similarities to woodwork but very different in other ways. I can see why you have a bunch of grinders. Subscribed.
Nice work!

Your work(art) is beautiful.
thank you!

Very sharp mate

I’ll do a brief video explaining blades. I’ve had a few people ask me for this so I’ll get something out asap 👍
Good man, thank you 👍
