A film podcast by two lapsed movie geeks with kids. We try to love not hate, albeit with plenty of knob gags and silliness.

That’s a Portuguese hammer. And it’s designed so you don’t hit your hand with heavy blows for bulk working stone. If you glance a chisel with it it’ll bounce away and out if your lucky with is most likely. But with a flat faced hammer it’ll skim down and smash your knuckles. I’ve used them and yeah they make a huge difference, love my bell hammers
Hi That's beautiful work! I'm about to under take a commission using slate from Honister Slate mine in Cumbria the blank plate is 1800mmx500mmx100mm there price is £2380 +vat this seams high to me just wondering if it sounds about right? thanks very much
I can tell that this is going to be good. I really like her accent, and she is lefthanded, and so am I. I am so excited, so I’ll get back to the video. Oh! And I guess I am elderly, getting on towards 8 decades;-)
A Native craftsman from the Granite trade center of the world Barre Vermont ..I have to day you weren't trained here... cutting a groove in a letter..and Vtooling a letter are two different things..those letters aren't finished really. The grooves hes has cut. Do not contour the letter and the tapering from polish to the center " v line" is non existent.. sorry..
ancient roman stone carvers approve of this video :D letter carving remind me of those roman public buildings that had lots of text carved into their facades
@@warbossgrotsmasha23 I was a stonemasons apprentice mate. I did both. I also made statues and gravestones, primarily gravestones of granite and marble.
@@astonedwalrus4183 that takes a lot of skill and patience to do, i respect that instead of simply making a mould and cast it, i always considered masonry and carving to be in the same kettle :P
@@warbossgrotsmasha23 well they are, it’s the title mason tho. It does take skill and patience but I’ll tell you we cheat as well, sand blasting letters out with stencils instead of hand carving, it’s much quicker and more consistent.
3:34 paused to lend a possible rule as opposed to a lefty v righty. maybe you mean to say that breaking into an established line is preferable to breaking out of one? i go both ways with tools. ambidextrous, if you will, as the task requires. just need rules not preferences. not trying to be offensive, just constructive. noob here and asking a question.
minute in and mind is blown. got me fifty years with some experience... yet, her description of things i have done, and understand (never put into such eloquent words, or understanding) have shaped my mind...
I love this lady although I am already through this phase in my carving techniques I really like the way she goes about giving instructions for absolute beginners i wish I saw this when I first started out it would've saved a lot of my projects that I messed up but had to learn through trail and error I had no mentor so I'm grateful for the tips I've gotten on RU-vid over the years it has more impact on people's lives than you realize

i guess Im randomly asking but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an instagram account? I somehow lost my password. I love any tips you can offer me
@Steven Alexzander I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I think this is a great documentary style film. I was going to try some deep relief lettering and number into a cylindrical piece of granite. Do you have any experience with this sort of thing and could you tell me what kind of difficulties I might encounter? Thank you for your time Mark
@paulcan38 I went on to turning and carving wood, because I have a use for these items in my work as a restoration carpenter. The odd thing is that I happen to have a small granite marker stone (for my younger brothers grave) in the back of my car right now. I am bringing it down to the local monument shop this week , and they will do a very small amount of carving and some sandblasting of letters and lines. Your timing is quite amazing, don’t you think
@paulcan38 this kind of thing. They're only placed on the staircase for the photo, before taking them to the job and mounting them on the fence. I wish I had your skills as a carver, stone or otherwise. My skills are with lathe work and problem solving but that's it. Your stone work is absolutely amazing.
