At the beginning you mentioned that normal regulation requires 100-120 mm. What kind of regulation is this? Is this required by authority or simply the ability to handle stones of this size when it comes to actually laying them? Great work btw.
40 tons in 6 days sounds like some serious grafting but loved to what you showed us of it from start to the finished pallets. Great skills and craftsmanship 👍
Thank you. I process on average 7 tons per day. Make sure you check out Mondays episode where am working the stone from the Huddersfield Technical College
Glad you’re back! You had me worried that you might have given up on us… Trust that you might appreciate a mild critique of your video/communication skills. Enjoy the longer project-based format despite what RUclips says. Video remains engaging with a nice mix of angles and motion. Audio is still a challenge with the dynamic range from hammer-on-tool to muted-voice-in-wind being particularly difficult to manage. Music-over was a bit too loud and therefore distracting from your message. For a first time effort at a longer format video - very well done. Please do keep with it!
I have been away in London with the family for a week that's why content has dropped. That's what I want feedback so I can improve. I agree about the music It won't be on the next one instead I will voiceover instead or turn it right down. I can't thank you enough for taking the time out to watch it. Thank you
Rotator cuff surgery? Hopefully not. But I’ve done stone work for 30 + years. Beautiful work. But lots of pain later. Appreciate them while you have them around. God bless
I started work in 1965, things had to be done right or there was trouble. It's great to see a young artisan who enjoys his work and is good at it, but that is only to be expected with him being a Yorkshireman.
Pardon my idiotic question but why wouldn’t you (stone masons) just use a saw to cut the blocks to size and then chisel enough to make the visible part look hand chiseled?
Next video which is out tomorrow featuring my tools has links in the description to the tools. Still getting used to youtube and learning all the time.
@scotthyslop3512 most people do. I only use mine for two days before getting it sharpened and I process on average 20m2 a day. The tungsten always wears down before the shank but with been on price I can't stand using a blunt tool. My next long content is out tomorrow where I display my tools

Nice work. Do you have any issues from using the hammer and chisel, ie numbness in fingers/hand or elbow problems?
Hi
No I don't suffer currently with any rsi at the moment but will probably at some point
Thank you for taking the time to watch and commnet

Thank you Robert for your kind words. I take pride in my work and am sure you do the same in your line of work
Awesome Pal
Thank you mate. Thanks for advice today too matw
Amazing 😮
Pardon my idiotic question but why wouldn’t you (stone masons) just use a saw to cut the blocks to size and then chisel enough to make the visible part look hand chiseled?
No idiotic questions mate. Am reducing the bed. Face to back to 120mm. I could cut it all with saw but faster by hand
hi , great vids bro, can you put a link for the Riley (pitcher) and hammer please?
Next video which is out tomorrow featuring my tools has links in the description to the tools. Still getting used to youtube and learning all the time.
@@the_yorkshire_stone_dresser keep at it bro , do you fit stone as well as you cut it ?
we call cutting stone (dressing stone) here in cork Ireland, I'm at the stone 25 years
Try useing a brick hammer to clean the lime mortar off mate 👍
Thanks for the tip mate. Chisel just chews at it when it's wet
Yes broooo!!
Thank you Mark
wouldn't it have been a lot quicker to course the stone as soon as you'd backed them off?
How long does a pitching tool like that last?
It's last me on average of 4 to 6 months.
Next episode will feature my tools
@the_yorkshire_stone_dresser ,4 to 6 months , your a machine , I get 3 or 4 years out of a pitcher

@the_yorkshire_stone_dresser hey kool thank s just wondering 500 a ton here and up
The music makes it even harder to hear you than before it started.
It was my first ever video. I don't put music on at all anymore pal
I give credit to the men who were the stone masons in Lancashire and Yorkshire during the 18 and 19 century and Scotland too.
Fantastic and credit to our heritage
Very interesting work, but PLEASE turn the music down. You are killing my ears!
Tom
Thanks for watching Tom. Apologies about the music. This was my first attempt at longer content
lose the tv intro bro
⚒️❤️
Badass
Thank you fella
