Stunning work. Dumb questions perhaps but how much time does it take to do such artwork and also where does the blank stone come from before carving? Always so much enjoy the content and thank you for taking the time.

Beautiful. Curious if the stone will be placed soon, and, if so, since it's so far away, when the wife passes, how is her date added. Honestly, this is something I just realized I don't know, even for modern stones or locally placed stones.
@0U8123MTA32 күн бұрын
@@kateruch7196 I've seen for modern granite stones, a date is added to an installed stone by using steel ball bearings to impact and erode the stone. A portable machine is brought to the cemetery and it functions like a sand blaster but uses the ball bearings as described. A durable template is used to protect the areas that are not to be part of the lettering.

@pumpkintown I've just watched your video again, the night before I'm about to install my new vinyl roof on my 30 Town Sedan. Thankyou so much for posting this video, I just realised I stapled down the chicken wire directly over the top of the wood and noticed you put strips of cloth between the wood and wire. I assume this would be to stop vibration or squeaks. From memory I now realise there was a sheet of cotton below the wire on mine when I removed it months ago. It's too late for me to lift the wire without a lot of work, so I'm going to paint seam sealer along the tops of the wood ribs/wire junction to keep the wire from rubbing/vibrating. Thanks for helping me out again, even though I'm on the other side of the planet!!! Cheers from Australia.
@pumpkintownАй бұрын
Sounds like a good plan brother. Can I suggest that maybe you go the extra mile and pull those staples? A little extra work now will save you squeaks in the future and give the satisfaction of a job well done. Plus whoever gets your car after you someday and sees what you did when replacing the vinyl is more likely to replicate what you did! Pass it along brother! Keep up the good work and watch the other videos in this series to help you along the way my friend.

Thanks for sharing. Mine is an electric motor wiper (1930 Town Sedan). The problem with mine is that the motor is mounted inside the windshield and the drive shaft goes through the notch in the windshield header where your on/off control is located. This means that when the windshield is opened, the motor also swings down and is slightly in my vision. The vacuum motor mounted on the outside looks like a better option.
