Thank you! I definitely do like to take pride in all the work I do.

Know the feeling I'm good at it too made some up in Scotland just for funzies can't put that on a bit of paper though

Thank you both for watching! I am excited to announce that I will be running two free dry stone walling days in the Peak District this spring and summer. If you have time, you might like to attend. Look out for the announcement, as it will be on a first-come, first-served basis.

Thank you for watching! It’s the same here in the UK-when built right, they can last a lifetime.

Thank you 🙏

Always lovely to fill some gaps back up in the walls, but not today-it’s -9°C. Sticking to the comforts of my office instead.

Thanks for watching. Having worked on many of the walls you’re talking about, it never fails to amaze me-the quality of the walls in such remote places, and, as you say, the sheer amount of stone. Much of the stone would have been quarried locally or even ploughed from the fields where the walls were built.

As soon as I posted the video, I noticed I had made that mistake. However, what I would say is that after swapping the blade and cutting another piece of stone, it doesn’t cut any differently both ways around.

Thank you 🙏

Great advice 👍

Definitely not my friend, thank you for the sub 👍

Thank you 👍

Hi, thank you for watching! I’m surprised there aren’t so many tools available in the US for you. The reason we use a nylon hammer is that it has a constant density, offering some softness when hitting the chisels. Being round, it ensures a consistent blow on the chisels with no chance of a deflecting strike, which could happen with a square-headed hammer.

Hi, it could be one of two things. When carving, you can leave a collection of dust that works along the chisel and looks like lines, but once you clean it all up, they’re gone. However, I did spend another five minutes refining my carving off-camera while listening to my music. If it’s not that and it’s an actual line on the face of the stone, it’s likely a saw mark. I’ll polish it away after carving, as this is an off-cut that I will make good. Thank you for watching!

Thank you! Wishing the same for you and your family. I appreciate your continued support for the channel.

Thank you for watching 👀

Hi Henna, thank you for watching! Good luck with the kitchen project. When you get time to work on your stone carving, I’d love to see some pictures. If you need any more help, please don’t hesitate to ask.

You’re welcome, and thank you for watching!

I haven’t honestly tried them on a hard stone like granite. The hardest I’ve used is York stone, and they performed very well.

This bowl is 75mm, but I have made them in sizes ranging from 75mm all the way up to 200mm.

I live in an area of Tennessee with PLENTY of sandstone just laying around. You can also buy cut slabs. We have a lot of limestone as well. Your video is VERY informative and easy to follow. I feel that with the video, the right tools and plenty of time and patience, I can do this. With all the free sandstone, I can make mistakes that won't cost me. I want to make birdbaths for my friends.

Haha, you’re not wrong!

It’s definitely a cracking stove!

That’s unfortunate. Was it within two years? They do offer a warranty.

😂😂😂😂

No, not really. I just have a new axe and want to give it a go, and will do a review on it. Hoping to be back up and running with stone carving for some live sessions before the New Year.

@TheStoneRanger nothing wrong with that bro good splitting axe it looked like

I dug out a UV torch last night; I will give it a try today-fingers crossed! 🤞 You have a good Christmas and New Year. Hopefully, we’ll get on a live together soon.

Sounds good to me, or if there’s a silicone or rubber stopper maybe inject it with a syringe from the chemist with a little diluted bleach and boiled water????

Really? I hadn’t thought of that.

Thank you, that sounds really promising. I will definitely have a look for a plug. Merry Christmas!

​@@TheStoneRanger Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 🤶

Thank you and Merry Christmas.🎄

@@TheStoneRanger Merry Christmas 🙂🎄

Thank you anyway, and you have a wonderful Christmas 🎄.

Definitely going to clean up the box, and like you say, it can be part of the show. It will be a good place to keep the bits I don’t use every day, like my compasses, marking-out gear, etc.

All great suggestions! I added a compressor today and am considering a log burner.

That’s a great suggestion! I will definitely look into that.

Hi, thanks for watching! For dry stone walling, I would keep it simple: a good walling hammer around 2 lb, a brick hammer for dressing smaller pieces, possibly a bolster in case you need to dress larger pieces of stone, and a good set of string lines. That should get you going!

Thanks very much for the info. Really appreciate the content 👍

Thanks buddy! I hope you’re doing well. Looking forward to getting back to doing some live content soon.

Thank you, that is great information to know. I got them from my old primary school, where they used to keep large sheets of paper and card.

Firstly, thank you for commenting, and sorry it’s taken a while to get back to you-I’ve been moving house. You are making a great choice with York stone; it’s lovely to carve and holds a very nice sharp edge. When it comes to sharpening, I’ve tried all kinds of diamond sharpening blocks. Yes, there is a difference between the £20 ones and the £120 ones, but not enough to justify the price. I would recommend just going on eBay and buying a cheap diamond sharpening stone with different grades-that will work perfectly for you.

Superb thanks for getting back to me and keep up the great work.​@TheStoneRanger

👍👍👍

You’re welcome. Thank you for watching.

Thank you for watching 👍

I hope so! I haven’t been able to create any content for weeks now because of moving house, which was delayed at the last minute. But I’m hoping to be back up and running within the next couple of weeks for some live sessions.

Greetings and welcome!

Unfortunately it’s a no

Yes it definitely is 😔

Hi, Thank you for watching! I’ve used all different types over the years, and they’re all very similar. At the moment, I’m using Tetroin.

😔😔😔

Thank you

Thank you for watching 👍

Great idea
