That's the same kid, Mike, that calibrated and recertified Tom Lipton's plates at Ox. He's super passionate about all things granite; especially the vintage optical collimator. (I think it's a Bausch + Lomb.) That's really cool to see someone that is so passionate like that; especially a young kid.

I thought it was a Hilger & Watts but who's keeping track. I especially liked the Keysight laser comment and that they prefer the autocollimator. I'm not sure what the price is on a Keysight interferometer these days, but back in the HP days it was easily a 10 grand kit, and they prefer primitive optics. Take that technology.

Mike D., your tour guide, led the team of three that came to my shop on one of their road trips and calibrated and certified five surface plates for Randy Richard, Razor Ray, Mike Walton, and myself. They were totally professional, made sure that our plates met AA standards even though we were paying for A grade, and they were done with all our work in about an hour and a half or less. We were able to save a large amount of money by having the collaboration at one location, compared to each of us paying the travel fee and the minimum invoice amount. It was also a hell of a lot of fun, and Mike D. is a happy and talkative guy, getting it done, delivering more than was promised...

Adam please take this point as the most positive constructive criticism: Your camera work is excellent. The gimble has taken your videos to another level. The one thing I noticed though was the GoPro struggled when you were outside in the sun, trying to look into the work units, which were obviously darker. Now I don't know if that is a known flaw with go pros, if so fair enough. But I wonder which filter you were using on the day. I guess it was the circ polariser. As useful as that filter is, it's value for filming relies on it being adjusted correctly. Particularly when you are moving around. It's all to do with angle of the light source (sun) in relation to the camera and the subject. I think with experience you will find the polariser to be useful in the shop, cutting reflection on indicators and such, but for those vids where you're moving around a lot, the UV filter may be the best. Just some thoughts sir, all good will to ya.

I always find it super awkward watching factory tours when they walk into a room or next to a machine and the operator sort of half stops what they were doing but they don't talk to him/her. Not really the fault of the guests either because what do you say? It's always nice when the operator/worker opens up and breaks the ice!

I'm glad to see the employees have, and wear, some nice quality masks and hearing protection. I worked for 1 day at a granite shop in Florida that had lousy worker safety. We were given, and expected to use, cheap-o painter's masks (with elastic band, about 20 cents each). No hearing protection. Much of the work was done dry, with dust everywhere. Once I discovered that the Company was under active investigation by OSHA for safety violations (and had already payed a fine or 3) I quit at the beginning of workday number 2. And also gave the owner/manager a bit of a lecture as well. The place was staffed by Mexicans, illegals or not, I don't' know. Maybe they didn't have any choice but the work there, but I sure had a choice.

I wonder if OSHA is needed in those kinds of situations. You obviously had the common sense to know that a 20 cent mask was not safe enough to keep your lungs healthy, so I’d think that any given worker there would/should know that their lungs are at risk. And given that risk, and the relatively inexpensive investment into buying your own proper mask and hearing protection, I’d say that those workers either chose not to keep themselves safe, or didn’t understand the risk. Hence, better education is all that’s needed in order for more people to keep themselves safe from harm, rather than more legislation and regulation.

Amazing stuff as always Adam. Really liked the granite cutters and all that raw granite! If you can get back there one day I'd be really interested to see the whole process of making a block for a table in more detail. The cutting; the blade, the machine, cutting the steps in the sides, the drilling. The finishing; the lapping, the lapping machine, the slurry, the polishing. The whole measurement and calibration and certification process. Being a toolmaker, I have a fair idea, but to see it and have it explained would be awesome.

Here's a little history tidbit about the diamond wire saw. The technological idea is actually very old, thousands of years old. The Romans used something similar to cut marble. They used a thin rope and quartz sand instead of wire and diamond, but essentially the same otherwise. That was how they'd cut some of the big slabs and blocks they used (like for buildings and statuary). They'd pour a slurry of sand and water on the block, start the rope rubbing on it, and the rope would pick up and embed the sand in the fibers. Yeah, it'd wear a little, but would hold up. Then they'd keep cutting with it, just like that. I've seen drawings and pictures indicating they'd cut slabs or chunks in the quarries that might have been 100 ft or so in length (and then cut them down to other sizes). I think the ancient Egyptians may have also used the technique for marble (water powered), also (I'm not so sure) the Greeks and maybe the Babylonians. I'd have to do some reading to see if anything similar was tried on harder stuff than marble - but I don't think it was used, for instance, on granite or sandstone. I remember working on a precision CNC lathe that a customer bought used, which was built on a granite slab like that. He never could hold more than a few thousandths tolerance with the thing, and asked me to try to figure it out. After a lot of investigation, we discovered that the slab had been cracked, in a place where you couldn't detect it without tearing the machine halfway apart. It was a good idea, but...

I scrolled down to the comments because I thought I recognized him, glad to see this as the top comment. That guy is awesome, he seems very knowledgeable and (perhaps more importantly) quite passionate. Neat video Adam, keep it up man!

I knew he looked familiar! It was his voice that confirmed it for me.

Looks like a fun place to visit and a top-notch operation. I wonder what kind of wheels they use on that surface grinder near the end?

Watching this makes me think how Egyptians were able to carve massive granite stones like that with apparently copper chisels.

Do they not have an issue when it is cold and raining, or is there an indoor area for the granite too?
