do a follow up video showing: cutting drain, faucet holes, and stand construction, finished product. great vid by the way!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stopping to give son a hug, best part of the vid.

In 4000 years archaeologists will find that bowl and debate for years how it would have been possible to make such an item with the primitive tools available at the time. "Without proton disruptor beams or psychokinetic enhancers, it would have been impossible to achieve such smoothness." One archaeologist will theorise that it could have been done with simple steel chisels and cutting tools, but he'll be laughed out of town; "With steel tools it would have taken at least *4 hours* to create such a bowl; Nobody works for 4 hours a day! Preposterous!" So future theorists will come to the only sensible conclusion available, other than just a bit of time and effort: "BECAUSE ALIENS!"

Is it required to hug a child once I create the flat top on the rock? I don't have a child handy but might be able to borrow one if it is.

Take it from a geology student: that fine stone dust, depending on what type of rock it is, can get in your lungs and really do some damage. Especially granite. NEVER breathe granite dust. I'd say since most people probably wouldn't know what kind it is, you should go ahead and wear one anyway to be safe.

how to narrowly avoid blinding yourself for 4 hours

I must admit the finished job is flawless. Gentle and undulating like a calm ocean.

Everyone thinks this is going to be some native American wisdom, some ancient technique with water and sand OUT COMES THE ANGLE GRINDER

Sooo... Where does the water drain afterwards?

When you cut up the stone into squares you made it look delicious.

It was cool running into you today in Lowes. Cheers bro!

So I guessing everyone is watching this at midnight or past it

While this video played, I ordered a stylish stone themed sink online and it's ready for pickup and my local hardware store. Saved 4 hours of labor at a cost, but now I can be more productive by wasting those 4 hours on KZfaq.

OK I'm gonna make one of these here's the check list step1 go to Home Depot tell them to suck it 4:40 Step 2 make a sink as seen here.

Wow, no eye protection ? Son, that is a really bad habit to get into.

Looks like it needed to be much deeper

This is a really great piece of content. thanks for sharing!

This nigga be Wearin crocs while operating a diamond blade saw. #badass

Nice vid but why was this recommended to me

Sick vid, love the shirt. Glad to see a craftsman who isn't a baby about the work. Its artistic and one of a kind. Maybe not the cookie cutter crap a lot of people are used to. Some of us can build things and others need need that retired hairdresser who now works at home depot to help them with bathroom interior ideas. LOL. Gonna watch more.

Diamond Saw. Rubber Croc shoes. I was expecting blood.

I love your passion and creativity! It's so inspirational! To make something with your hands is an amazing bit of magic. To take something that looks like barely nothing and make it into something that pleases the eye and/or fulfills a need is just the most amazing thing. Too many people have forgotten that we as humans are capable of this...that we are meant to make things. All it takes is a curious mind, a creative spirit, and the sure knowledge that nothing is impossible! Gonna go watch the second part of this now. Exceptionally good work!

This was my first samurai carpenter video I ever saw and it made me fall in love with making awesome stuff. Thank you brother for inspiring me to take on big challenges.

Amazing. Love your passion and integrity. Keep up the good fight bother! No mediocre builds and sub par work. Thanks for sharing your boundless knowledge.

what about the drain hole? there are attachments you could put on that hammer drill to drill a core out of the center

where's the plug hole?

Great finish on that! Awesome job

The Samurai Carpenter-This was the video that actually got me watching your channel!

Would be way easier if the video is titled: "How to make a stone sink in 4 seconds"

that's awesome, would love to see what it looks like once it's installed!

It doesn't seem like 7 years ago you uploaded this. Time flies.

2k in dislikes????? HATERS. I had never saw one the videos by The Samurai Carpenter. Super cool man. I would have spent another 4 or so hours to make it deeper but I am know for taking projects to far. Keep up the great work!

You seriously know how to make a good video! Thanks!

That is pretty bad ass.

This is absolutely amazing! Thanks!!

Wow your backyard is amazing!!

I was not expecting so many power tools from the "samurai" carpenter channel.

I went to home depot and told them to suck it and they said that I couldn't go back there anymore. Now I can't buy building materials from them. Thanks a lot.

Great job. Thanks for sharing the video.

Now this is being resourceful! People need to do this!!!!

nice bird bath! sinks have drains bro.

To level the bottom you could just put some food color on a tub of water and sit the stone in it. The dye left by the water would create a stain all along the base that could then be removed creating a flat level plane.

Beautiful work

I've watched many of these types of videos - mainly car repairs, plus how-to's, home renovations, etc with power tools, grinders, cutters, saws, blades, lump hammers and I'm amazed how many people do this kind of thing wearing crocs, sandals and flips-flops. Even bare feet.

These would be cool as a Fountains, Bird Bath, Fire Pit/Hibachi, oil Lamp, etc....used outside you could put them on a tripod of rocks and skip flattening the base....

Great project, but you NEED a respirator!!! Silicosis is nothing to scoff at. Anyone who has ever met an old miner knows that that is not the way they want to go out. Silicosis is fibrous png scarring from air born silica in the air from cutting stone. Your body can not break down this dust over time or get rid of it. Even though you are out doors that is not sufficient to protect you. If you can smell that you are cutting stone, you are at risk :( Any how just a friendly heads up and again, great vid dude.

You make the coolest things. Real art.

you made that look so easy and amazing!!

who just found this in recommended and clicked on it because its a stone ?

Hey Samurai that was awesome, I have never worked with stone, I'm wondering where and how you are putting in a drain? Are you drilling through with something? If so what please. Thanks!

Hi, I'm from the future. I would like you to know that many a work man have developed lung problems from cutting, grinding and polishing stone. Please check with your local building supply shop for the appropriate breathing mask. The silica in the dust is what gets you. Saftey first : )

Dude, that's great stuff! Im gonna try that myself!

Why are people being so critical? It's a beautiful sink that's perfect for his small beach house. It would be worth a few hundred dollars to a lot of people. It's a one of a kind custom sink. Great job!

Its neither wide nor deep enough to be very practical, I think, but cool idea, and video.

Very nice!!! Keep up the good work, you have me looking forward to the next videos!

Very interesting and beauty!! Thank you so much for video!!

I would use EYE protection.

i thought he was gonna die by a shard of rock being lodged in his eye after the warning

Wow! You just gave me an inspiration to go find some a big rock and carve it up! This was a blast to watch😮

You done good Herkimer ! Now I want to make one.

awwww @ 1:53

What are you thinking drainage wise?

Love your passion dude.

Incredible! Thanks for sharing :)

This wasn't really a "how to". It was more of a "watch do".

У нас говорят "когда коту делать нечего он яйца лижет" у вас много свободного времени, очень рад за вас 😊 Хорошее видео

this is awesome. thank you for the inspiration!

Nice! I might try this at some point.

Don't sinks have a hole to drain the water? Am I being dumb?

How did you drill the drain? I was thinking about cutting a rough hole with a star cold chisel and then smoothing it out with a diamond rotozip bit.

Well done! Thanks!

That was awesome, cheers for the video

Great job man!

"hey, thats a nice looking rock"

that sink you made is fab!!

Great stuff i have few stones in my garden and now i want to do something .thanx

Dude, watching you work bent over like that made MY back hurt! Put that bad boy up on a tree stump next time.

I'd be more worried about them fancy Crocs you have on than safety glasses , you're man card is suspended until mankind is restored and Crocs are destroyed , but cool sink !

wow, dude! fantastic work. thanks for sharing :)

so awesome, and sustainable!!!!

It's 2:30 am, I don't have stone and I don't need a sink but it's so fucking smooth

dude you must have a lot of patients to do this stuff #respect

Great job!

Beautiful job for someone that's never carved stone before. Congrats! Oh yeah gorgeous views where you live, remember not to take it for granted? Cheers Sean

Asbestos is a really pretty green rock, can this be done with that type of rock?

Diamond saws might be cheap to hire, but i was of the understanding that the diamond BLADES required for it are quite expensive. No?

Thanks Boss - Great stone love !!

Great video. Southeastern Salvage sells these stone sinks for about $90. By the time I rented/bought new tools, I'd probably be coming close to that price point, and that's before I spent hours using them. For me, I couldn't justify the time and money, unless I was doing multiple sinks. I just wanted to learn how these sinks were made and you did an excellent job of showing me that. Thanks!

we're taking too much stuff for granit.

nice plate but there's a lot of excess at the bottom, like... a lot

That is just badass!!! Awesome job dude!!!

This is cool, Im trying this soon. Thanks a lot.

bad ass bro

Could do being a bit deeper. But still nice work.

thanks KZfaq for recommending this......I shall now put my new Rock skills into practice.

Bird bath $600. I have been looking for a way to make just this as a birdbath. Being both lazy and cheap i was looking for a way to make the $600 bird bath my wife wanted from the landscape store. You nailed it man. Thanks.

ONE MILLION VIEWS. Now you can retire!! LOL

Can we just take a moment to appreciate that he's wearing Crocs

Your channel is awesome

Most excellent video, those types of sinks are very expensive and no gratification from creating this work of art yourself. Very nicely done, thank you.
