Thanks for the video! A lot of views and few commenters. You probably helped a lot more people than they realize especially in real life where you do your work. I would agree with safety comments but this may not be this video's main priority as it may have been posted casually. Please take care of yourself. You probably learned a lot about holding your breath techniques in the course of your work, LOL! Thanks for sharing Sirs!
So many haters. When you do it for a living you adapt. It's always the folks who have nothing positive themselves that pour negative onto someone else. Take what you need from the video and add your own safety rules. Clearly whatever you are doing works for you and your talent and skill are amazing. Just a shame folks don't spend as much energy building up as they do tearing down. Thank you for sharing.
Would have really helped to have dialogue about what you're doing and why, rather than the extraneous stuff. For instance, how long do you let the mortar set before sponging it, how do you avoid cracking stones when pounding them, why you don't mud the individual stones, what mistakes you've learned to avoid???
my thoughts exactly I am paying for not wearing proper dust protection with breathing issues and cancer in my old age. My ears ring constantly because of lack of hearing protection. I already wear shatterproof glasses so I am covered there. He knows what he is doing but not old enough to know what he will have to live with in his retirement.
Every Stone Custom Cut To Fit, with a 3/8" joint with a tolerance of plus or minus 1/16". Damn! I hope it comes with a radiant floor underneath.? you did make it heated? didn't you? .... some of those stones sound hollow underneath. what are you doing?
Such a pain in the ass, setting a large piece, only to realize U need a tiny little bit more mud to get it level. You gotta break the vacuum pulling the already laid stone up, it's a mess.. & if Ya don't, your left with a birdbath! I usually pull a few elevation lines, but everyone's different! Looks great fella's-
If you somehow end up with a "birdbath", you might drill a few small holes for drainage--they are almost inconspicuous and don't compromise the soundness, imo. I agree these jobs look very good. Sandi
Stopped watching at 0:23 with the dude in an enclosed space breathing five metric shittons of silica dust. Talent ain't gonna matter when you can't breathe
