I could not keep my eyes off this from start to finish. You showed an excellent example of the technique of marking out that I will remember. Thanks Wayne. Power to your elbow.

IainB THANK YOU! , I to enjoy watching the crafting of raw materials, especially no talk videos. So I have been trying to mimic the no talk method. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks to the air driven hammer that reduces wear and tear on the elbows.

Excellent demonstration of the technique. Nowadays we do tend to speed up things by using diamond blades on angle grinders, but unless you understand the underlying carving techniques and principles, you'll never get that quite right

@wayneferree5053 7 ай бұрын

That's very true, only by doing can one fully understand the process of wasting material in the fastest way.

This is incredible. I work as a stone mason but have never carved stone. This is so interesting to watch.

a very cumbersome way to do that. simply cut the offsets with a diamond blade angle grinder. and then chiseling in the curves saves a lot of work

That's mesmerizing, Wayne! I couldn't take my eyes of the work. Thank you for the video! All the while I'm scheming in my head how to get 'some of that' in a meaningful way. Even seeing the small slabs in background gets me excited. That's for sharing your knowledge and skill!

Check with your local masons, I'll bet they have some they will just give you.

Hi! Greetings from Southern Ontario, Canada. Mike Haduck sent me here and I can't wait to see your incredible work. I'll be 60 years old shortly and it looks like I have myself a new hobby and hope to learn a lot here. Cheers!

That motorized chisel cuts like butter! I guess limestone is easier to work with than marble.

@wayneferree5053 6 ай бұрын

Yes limestone ( Indiana ) is about a 4 on the hardness scale, diamond being a 10 and marble being a 6 to 7

Beautiful work! Im a mason in NYC we restore Brownstone facades and we build the design in place. Stone carving will be something I would love to learn.

That's an interesting division of labor. I wonder why it evolved that way. Probably due to urban density.

@wayneferree5053 6 ай бұрын

Give it a try, you can use any chisel on limestone, tools should be sharp, use any hammer to start, wear eye protection.

Really cool. It's almost no different from the way you'd do it with wood if you were just using chisels.

@joshschneider9766 11 ай бұрын

Nope heritage firms who forego using power tools basically are doing the same thing as carpentry chiseling.

@joshschneider9766 11 ай бұрын

I personally would always choose to use the air chisel but there's a ton of companies that swear by hand making. Even they rough cut with modern power saws though

@wayneferree5053 6 ай бұрын

Yeah, its all a matter of personal preference, just like transportation, there are different means to the same end results, depending on a multiple of variables an to each his own.

is that a short stroke or full stroke air hammer ?

@wayneferree5053 6 ай бұрын

Hello Tom, please excuse the delay in my reply, yes it is a full stroke, that's all I use, however I have used the short stroke for delicate work, as it is less aggressive. In the stone world as in most others time is of the essence, and so I use the tool that removes the stone faster.
