The best demonstration of an art almost gone, hopefully the young pick up on the art and skills of an honorable position, congratulations on the skill of the instructor
Wonderful skill from a craftsman. He made it look so easy. My great grandfather was a master stonemason. I looked for the video to get some appreciation of what he did.
My 16yo son has just been accepted into stonemasons college and did half a days work experience yesterday in Stamford Lincs. He cant wait to get started.
After watching this video I ordered myself a nylon mallet, a square and a chisel. Now I need to find out where to buy rough blocks of stone so I can learn to bone in and make them square. I've always been fascinated by ashalar masonry and would love to learn how to do it myself. Thank you!
My grandad was a stone mason and I’m about to start a small project on a piece of sandstone, this man has great rhythm and is used to working at some speed! I hope I can get 10% of his ability!
This guys a good banker mason. Being just a brick mason my self I've never really had the opportunity to practice this skill. When I took my apprenticeship we spent only one day banking using lime stone. So needless to say I can't truly consider my self a legit stone mason until I learn this often neglected part of my trade.
I've always loved proper fraternal practices like these, warms my heart to know people are still doing them
I love watching stuff like this. Nothing like seeing a master craftsperson at work. The thosands of hours it must have taken to make it look so easy.
why would someone thumbs down a craftsman who is teaching young people
you can always tell which ones are really interested & who's listening because they will come over to see the work you've done.

Good vid, it's sort of helping me work out my entry into stone carving. My grandad was incredible at it, I've inherited his tools but it's him I need!

Survival skills enhanced by twenty points.
Nice video showing some basics. I remember my first day in school, they gave us a raw block of stone and said.. "make a cube"
That was an amazing display of skill.
