I designed, carved, and installed a 25000 granite boulder tub that holds around 250 gallons of water. Complete process from excavation to installation. This project took around 7 weeks of labor, over the course of 6 months.

Owning a stone surface repair company; I deal with granite every day. Although it’s never in 15k lb rock form. Lol The amount of effort put into this is awe inspiring. Such a beautiful result for lots of hot and dusty work! Nothing but respect from this stone guy.

I love that this is presented with such modesty when it is by far the most impressive tub build you are ever likely to see, the humility is as impressive as the build. The attitude of saying "I was more inspired than I was threatened" is good advice on how to create a good aptitude for anyone in any endeavour. Fantastic results and approach I have seen rocks with similar rocks discarded by quarries because cracks devalue them, sometimes you will see them spray painted with an orange box around the crack I guess so no one takes it by mistake. Really impressed by the repair and sure it hold out perfectly fine 10/10

Thank you so much! I do feel modest about it, at the end of the day I am just a curator and not the artist. I adore the natural beauty of the local stone here, and hope to make many more functional pieces that are modified just to the point of function. Maintaining the original skin and not over-polishing is something I hope to be known for. Appreciate the kind words on the crack, I think it will be ok! I would avoid using a piece with any cracks next time, I feel grateful to learn a valuable lesson without catastrophe. 🙏

@@jameslostlen I'd say core drilling would be the way to go. The advantage of stone over metal with (blind hole) core drilling is that with the former, the core can be removed by breaking it off. One thing however is that for (deep) drilling operations a solid clamping surface is required. Like a metal plate with pre-cut guide holes temporarily expoxied in place or something similar? Depending on the drilling machine interface obviously.

You're mocking, but they clearly struggled with some serious tools and machines. Now go back 6000 years, remove the advanced tools he used, make the stone x20 larger.

It is unfathomable how they managed to cut 2-3tons Granite blocks with insanely accurate precision on a geometric scale and then successfully moved them on a 40 degree angle, 300ft in the sky.. 🤯 They we're far more advanced than we give credit for.
