Tungsten tools are expensive and a bit of a luxury for occasional users. They do, however, make the job go easier. I got really lucky last weekend at a car boot sale and picked up a 2 1/2" and a 3" carbide tipped nicker with plenty of meat left on them, for the exorbitant total sum of a quid ! A keen eye and ability to see past all the rust is a big help ..... I Came home with a grin like a Cheshire cat ;
@@the_yorkshire_stone_dresser The luck is holding up well ... 4:30 this morning at the car boot, I got a 4lb curved head punch hammer for a couple of quid. I'll be making a nice ash handle for it ... after I get wrapped round a bacon butty and a mug of tea ;
Hi Andrew I have done one on Fettling the edge but not one delving flags. I can try give it a go on some reclaimed ones but I don't work with the material to do new quarried riven flags
I have about 40 three and four inch thick redundant granite gravestones from a local mason. I'll use some for paving but want to dress some into stone for some garden projects. Was thinking about using feather and wedges to split it up and giving them a pitched face with a carbide granite pitcher. Is there any easier way of splitting them from the slab in 6 inch wide blocks ?
Замечательный обзор хорошего инструмента! С огромным удовольствием смотрю Ваши видео. Спасибо! Подскажите, где можно заказать (через интернет) такой инструмент с вольфрамовыми наконечниками?
Great to see you back on the video track. Thanks for the detailed explination!
Thank you for sticking with me pal
Well done, good to know. I appreciate short and concise tutorials. Good tools make for the best job aye:)
Totally agree mate
Agreed. Direct and to the point.
Thank you for sharing!
Great video pal. I still love the way you use the hammer as an extension of you hand when moving the stone around. The tools are ok too😅
Awesome. thank you!

Plugs & Feathers will be the way forward for granite.

Good morning
Thank you for watching. I purchase my tools from either R H G Travis & sons or Combined masonry Supplies
@@the_yorkshire_stone_dresser Спасибо! Удачи!
Thats a scutch alright. Our ancestors called it a scutch.
The tool bloke may be becoming... a tool 😅🙏
It's a Scutch
