A Game of Stones - 40 Tonnes in 6 days 

Glad you’re back! You had me worried that you might have given up on us… Trust that you might appreciate a mild critique of your video/communication skills. Enjoy the longer project-based format despite what RU-vid says. Video remains engaging with a nice mix of angles and motion. Audio is still a challenge with the dynamic range from hammer-on-tool to muted-voice-in-wind being particularly difficult to manage. Music-over was a bit too loud and therefore distracting from your message. For a first time effort at a longer format video - very well done. Please do keep with it!

At the beginning you mentioned that normal regulation requires 100-120 mm. What kind of regulation is this? Is this required by authority or simply the ability to handle stones of this size when it comes to actually laying them? Great work btw.

Pardon my idiotic question but why wouldn’t you (stone masons) just use a saw to cut the blocks to size and then chisel enough to make the visible part look hand chiseled?

Nice video. Interesting seeing the whole job.

40 tons in 6 days sounds like some serious grafting but loved to what you showed us of it from start to the finished pallets. Great skills and craftsmanship 👍

wouldn't it have been a lot quicker to course the stone as soon as you'd backed them off?

hi , great vids bro, can you put a link for the Riley (pitcher) and hammer please?

How long does a pitching tool like that last?

Cracking video. I work with stone myself and what you do looks brilliant.. i think i might try and expand my skill set lol.

Much love of the work smash on

Great video, fascinating thank you!

Top content mate. Good to see some real workmanship and knowledge

Very interesting work, but PLEASE turn the music down. You are killing my ears! Tom

Nice work. Do you have any issues from using the hammer and chisel, ie numbness in fingers/hand or elbow problems?

I give credit to the men who were the stone masons in Lancashire and Yorkshire during the 18 and 19 century and Scotland too.

The music makes it even harder to hear you than before it started.

Rotator cuff surgery? Hopefully not. But I’ve done stone work for 30 + years. Beautiful work. But lots of pain later. Appreciate them while you have them around. God bless

Quite excellent 👍

Stone dresser to stone dresser great content good watch

Awesome Pal

Can I ask why the reflective vest?

How much for that 40 ton of stone quality

lose the tv intro bro

I started work in 1965, things had to be done right or there was trouble. It's great to see a young artisan who enjoys his work and is good at it, but that is only to be expected with him being a Yorkshireman.

Well done …..plenty of people in this world need to take a leaf out of your book and work hard like you. The results are amazing 👍

Try useing a brick hammer to clean the lime mortar off mate 👍

Amazing 😮

Yes broooo!!

Badass
