This is a very special talent indeed doing this type of work as I v personally have seen this down and it's very interesting to watch usually take about 1 to 2 hrs to do as I timed a person doing it from start to finish and have chated with the person as well as this is a rewarding business

Why not do the whole operation in the shop? Then deliver the headstone.

@DirtRoadDiscoveries1 21 күн бұрын

@edwardschneider6396 this headstone had been set many years before the younger generation decided to add it.

@@LibertyStation92106 reminds me My Grandma told me a story about her mom, my great grandma, refused to visit her husbands grave. Not out of disrespect or apathy but because she couldn't bare to see her own name on the head stone.

My parents had a double headstone. Mama died first and it was carved. When daddy died the young man had to visit the cemetery to carve his side.

I've seen this done at the manufacturer never at the cemetery

Always wanted to know how it was done & updated on the spot....Correct me if I'm wrong. But I always thought these carvings were done by cnc machines or something like that. And that this process was an old way of doing it. After the old hammer & chisel of course...This was a great video though. Lots of respect for your work.

@DirtRoadDiscoveries1 16 күн бұрын

So they have what's called a J Curtain now that is like a CNC machine, but they are expensive and are stationary. So, you would have to pick the stone up and take it to the shop to do any engraving.

Very interesting to watch. I guess you have to be precise every time. Would be a disaster if you entered the words at a slant! or something else. Nice work.

@DirtRoadDiscoveries1 16 күн бұрын

Yes, it is a bad deal if that ever happens. The worst thing is when the person asking you to engrave the stone gives you the wrong spelling or date.

Why not clean up the sand left around the headstone?

After it rains it will be gone.

@robertbamford8266 yes I do all mine by eye. I did use a depth tool for a couple years. I've been engraving since 2012.
