Thanx for taking the time to document your work. You are a true craftsman. Tom

Excellent work! I’m still impressed that with today’s technology and machinery, there’s still folks like this earning a living by using traditional methods. Keep up the great work and be safe!

Nice to meet you, Anabell. Your skill with the camera has added to the quality of this Stone Dresser video. Please do continue with your contribution!

Bosh 😲 that cut with the hammer at the end 💪 Going to say mate, well done to your little one for giving a hand. It made all the difference mate, especially showing how to use the chisel 👌 good job Annabelle🙂

Glad to see you back Lad , it just goes to show that plenty of people are still able to appreciate craftsmanship 😊 All the best ,love the substone 😅

Appreciate your descriptions are on point and exclude meandering and musings. Thank you for sharing your skills.

Fax native in exile to Scotland here, just found these videos, beautiful artistry, the knowledge of the tools and materials with that stunning hand eye coordination and no doubt much knowledge about the craft. Im looking to dress some stone and wondering about tools, unfortunately even though im well used to the accent cant quite catch the name of the type of tool for spliitting. Also im used to little sharpening stones for small blades, what do you use to get those edges, some kind of angle grinder, whetstone wheel etc? Im an absolute novice with stone but love the art on display here, definetly going to be checking out the other videos aswell.

like magic bro

I gotta say watching you work is like watching a magician especially when you split that stone with the maul.

How do you sharpen that chisel?

Great explanation James! Please explain when you would use the maul instead of the pitcher? Is it just for stone that is too heavy to lift to your banker?

Just what i was looking for. I have 80m2 of purbeck that i have to reduce from 150mm bed to 100mm. Not looking forward to it. Could you tell me best place to buy a hammer and chisel like that. Thanks.

I'm curious. What type of stone is it? And how much are you charging per pallet/ton/bag?

Good stuff buddy. Great skills! Love Yorkshire! Welsh, but Leeds fan!

У вас камни о которых можно только мечтать, и мягкие и колятся легко. Уже в куче лежат с ровными гранями а у нас гранит такой что из тонны трудно в работу выбрать пару штук.

Crackin' work 👍!

Loved that slow mo walk through on using the chisel mate thanks for that 🙂

I like Thor's hammer!❤

Do you need good hand eye Coordination for your job? Where are your Ear plugs? In your pocket I guess.😂

Love the tingy noises ❤ how cool was the maul breakage 😮💪🏽
