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.

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...
