@@sambo1298 glad it was so easy to entertain you

@@lionelscout, I've created this video to explain everything: ruclips.net/video/riSnixStUeA/видео.html

@@connectingwiththeoutdoors81 I try but sometimes it's too much... As far as stencil cutters, it depends on the size of the stencil. Gerber has decent low end 24" plotters with software for a good price. Not sure they are even still in business but I'm sure ebay would be a good bet. Anything larger would require a good internet search. Also thank you for the kind words and of course, thanks for watching!

@@StevenSugoi so long as the nozzle keeps moving, it enough protection. If that nozzle stops in one spot for more than a few seconds, it will burn right through it and damage the stone

@@rebel_ltz you must work for a competitor

This is an old method of engraving. A CNC machine can work faster, but not everyone has one.

@@TeraMrByte thank you and thanks for watching!

They have not used hand tools to etch Headstones for at least 50years, all done with sand blasting and a CNC plotter used to cut the stencil.

@pijnto So, that sandblasting for second time (unmanned) was actually doing the engraving then?

@@marleyboy7732 Yep. The first sandblasting was only superficial to dull the surface where the text should come. The second one “digs” deeper (that’s why it was unmanned, it’s too dangerous with that high pressure) and that kind of “carved” out the letters. If you would look at it closely it will appear as being chiseled…..

@Capt.PitbullDad Oh wow! That's actually pretty cool.

@@marleyboy7732 It is, right.?! I hope that your question is answered?

@@mungogerryjnr at 6:04 the sandblast engraving begins

@ but the paint will fade and then it’s barely noticeable Finally after time it will erode as it’s barely scratched the surface Seems cheating to me and probably for the same cost probably even more🤷‍♂️ Nah all that has done is make me more determined to have a proper stone done by chisel

@mungogerryjnr lol. It blasts more than a quarter inch into solid granite. Plus that paint is specifically designed for monuments and made to last.

@ oh right so it blast the stone but not the paper ah Seriously

@mungogerryjnr it's a rubber stencil. The aluminum oxide bounces off as long as the nozzle keeps moving

And it’s not even technological, they moved the stone 17 times. 😆

@@erikcramer I posted this video with narration to better explain what is happening for each step: ruclips.net/video/riSnixStUeA/видео.html

@@night_al that's perfect. I've once seen a guy do it by hand, the amount of dust that was in his face and nose was crazy. Also that they don't wear PPE happy you do ;)

I would wear the PPE while blowing away the dust though, aswell as with the camp fuel, gloves and safety glasses if your ventilation is really good you might be able to skip a mask but not sure. Reading the SDS they don't say much good stuff about it..

@@russellterral29 im so sorry for your loss. I hope this comment finds you healing. I can't control the RUclips algorithm. All I ask is that if you decide to get a headstone, please do so from a monument company. A funeral home will mark up the price considerably. Cemeteries will as well. Again, I am deeply sorry this somehow found it's way in your recommended so soon after. My condolences.

@@jacizaci_3 depends on where you got it. Through the cemetery or the funeral home... We are a solely a monument dealer. We create a stone and normally set it ourselves within a week

@@jamie-ox8sg exactly. 3M stencil. About an 1/8" thickness

@@JeanLeite-d1e thank you so much, I appreciate that! And thanks for watching!

@@johnkelly2279 deathly serious

@@Rockin_Ross the stencil is made of 1/8" rubber. The aluminum oxide bounces off. If the nozzle were to stop, it would burn through and definitely ruin the stone

@@tenfour000 Considering the diamond etcher we have takes anywhere from 2-6 hours to just etch a portrait. This whole process was roughly 2 hours.

Ok bud

@@jeffreyfoster8413 roughly about 2 hours

@@jamesstephenpeyton3305, been done this way for over a half century...

Try a chisel and hammer next time.

@@jamesstephenpeyton3305 nope

He's running a business, not making the Sistine Chapel lol.

This is my favorite thing about the comments section: the people who more often than not know absolutely nothing about what they’re talking about and instead of just moving on and watching something else, they feel compelled to say something negative about what they just watched. ⁠ “Chisel and hammer”. You try it that way and then tell us that you think that’s the best way to do this. I really enjoyed the video. I’ve always wondered how that was done and I appreciate you showing us. @@jamesstephenpeyton3305

@@harbottle8580 it is v cut. The 1" letters are at least a 1/4" deep. The last name is at least 3/8 or more

@@David-th2ug at 6:04 it's sand blasted. After that the sprays are monument paint and the chemical at the end is camp fuel. it's used to remove excess glue left over from the stencil. And to be honest, at the rate population has exploded and the rate people die, there's no time for a hammer and chisel. We'd still be chiseling stones from all the deaths during covid...

@@pignoli1235 yes, laser etched with portraits and/or text

lol

We also have automobiles instead of horse and buggies now. LoL!
