My grandad was a stone mason and I’m about to start a small project on a piece of sandstone, this man has great rhythm and is used to working at some speed! I hope I can get 10% of his ability!
This may sound odd but I'm under I'm on the spiritual attack and The life forms that are attacking me have spiritually attacked your video with a piece of spiritual feces on top of your stone so I just wanted to report this to you so hopefully you could finally know how it happened or if somebody said something. Please be cautious these lifeforms are the enemy and will attack you spiritually as well as in repute and possibly physically with magic but I'm unsure if they will but I know that they can do these things for I am under attack. Ray Sumner, Report.... Report.... Report.... Report.... Amin.
I can’t help thinking that one of those young fellas with their arms crossed are thinking, “grab a nine inch flush cut mate, and a quick rub with the carby and she’s sorted”.
My 16yo son has just been accepted into stonemasons college and did half a days work experience yesterday in Stamford Lincs. He cant wait to get started.
Wonderful skill from a craftsman. He made it look so easy. My great grandfather was a master stonemason. I looked for the video to get some appreciation of what he did.
and some people claiming that pyramids were built by aliens.... it was Humans after all, skillful mason humans that took of thousands of hours to build those... there are alot of pyramids that failed, humans learn from mistakes until they perfect their craft...
This guys a good banker mason. Being just a brick mason my self I've never really had the opportunity to practice this skill. When I took my apprenticeship we spent only one day banking using lime stone. So needless to say I can't truly consider my self a legit stone mason until I learn this often neglected part of my trade.
I'm a german stone mason who, to be honest, never wanted to be one. As a kid I always remembered my dad in his workshop standing at the big stone saw, all in rubber boots and rubber apron and having the stress of organizing all the work processes for his workers besides. That was all I knew. After I finished school I didn't really know, what to do but I found a stone craft company that worked on old churches and where the apprentices learned how to use a chisel and a mallet on a piece of sandstone to create such things as cornics. That was a completely other and way more traditional side of stone masonery I saw and I did my apprenticeship there. Now that I'm back in my father's workshop to support him, he had two heart attacks a few weeks ago.week. He's back from hospital and mostly fine but he is not able to work. I'm doing my best to keep the company up at the moment and I can't say it isn't hard but I'm doing it for my father and I'm doing it with a lot of love for the craft.
Makes you think how on earth do they manage to cut granite with zero chisels hurts my head the designs you see in India, Egypt, Turkey, china, corners that are so square a machine couldn't replicate 🤷♂️
The best demonstration of an art almost gone, hopefully the young pick up on the art and skills of an honorable position, congratulations on the skill of the instructor
