In this multi part video I show you the process of how to make a ball finial from a piece of Spanish limestone with the use of power tools, pneumatics and hand tools.
This fist part shows the initial design, and first steps towards making a fancy piece of masonry.

Also I think you should keep the masonry terminology in but maybe explain some of the basic terminology when you get to something new!

This is top drawer stuff Tom! I was inspired to try and do a finial over the winter after watching the shorts but still wasn't confident enough to work the sphere with grinders having only done one with hand tools at college a million years ago but that's answered a lot of questions. You'd make a great teacher and I'm sure even folk with no masonry background followed what you were laying down. Thanks again, you legend😎

No problem man. A variable speed grinder will help you out massively. I'll be following this up with the rest of the production so hopefully you will find that helpful. cheers

Superb demonstration and combined commentary to produce a ball finial. Great to see initial drawings being completed and the way waste material was removed swiftly, effectively and so accurately using power tools. Having personally only used hand tools at Bath College to make a ball final, your methodology using angle grinders is great to observe and learn from. I look forward to seeing all the subsequent steps in this - THANKS SO MUCH for taking time to make and compile this and your other masonry videos. They really are appreciated and one continues to learn so much and be inspired by such content!

Ah fantastic! nice one for going to bath college! I have made quite a number of ball finials in my career and this is the most efficient way I have found to produce a really accurate sphere in a good timescale. The variable speed grinder is a massive help for getting the accuracy.I can't stress how important hand tool skills are at the start though. they truly are the basis of all banker skills. I will be posting regularly from now on so be sure to keep your eye out for the next video.

@@mainstonecarving Thanks for your kind remarks. Seeing the professional approach to masonry is most impressive but as you point out is based on fundamental skills developed and honed on the banker, plus of course appealing to attention to detail at every stage of one’s carving work. In subsequent videos perhaps you could mention the types of power tool accessories you use ( nature of blades and finishing abrasives). I’m intrigued also to learn more on your air chisels. I certainly will be tuned in to all your forthcoming posts - they clearly illustrate how with basic skills ( and tools) and a passion for craft one can create incredible artefacts.

Sweet! good luck with it. doing it with chisels is definitely the best way to do your first one. get those tools skills up before touching power tools 👍

I don't mind mason jargon. Four books of architecture by Andrea Palladio is more or less my handbook. So there won’t be many terms and names that are unfamiliar to me.

Absolutely amazing! I was just chatting with Paul Hill today about that short you made of the other ball finial. Its so amazing that even as an apprentice mason studying at York College, I get the opportunities to talk to and learn about so many different skilled masons like yourself. We had a long chat and look at one of your stones in person and I was blown away by it. I love this content and it's the only thing I've been watching recently. I wish you well on all your future endevours. Crackin' job mate! :)

Thanks so much. Paul is a total legend. Say hi to him from me. Yeah I intend on trying to put out a couple of videos a month at least, of more instructional type videos showing how masonry works in industry and the way I go about working so keep watching this space.

Watched this vid and subscribed. Great job! A piece of advice, and just my 2-cents; keep to this format as closely as you possibly can, for as long as you possibly can. I've watched SOO many KZfaqrs with very engaging, approachable and humble beginnings quickly upgrade their shop/tools, upgrade their cameras and crew, "upgrade" their personality. They become arrogant, and it bleeds onto the screen. Pewdiepew and Markiplier come to mind. Survival Russia. Sad cases that I've long since unsubbed from. A taste of the good life almost always turns bitter.
