هل لديك طريقة جيدة للحفر في صخور البازلت

How far from residential houses such work can be performed safely? And how safe it is for the concrete base of the neighbors' houses, can they develop cracks over time? Do you need neighbors' permission before doing such works if their house is 4 meters apart from the edge of the large rock formation?

It never ceases to amaze me how it's a mere nanosecond from the time you stomp the control til the blast happens! And all the different camera angles are really fun to watch!

Superb work Dave. Bloody hard though 😂😂

Was that a boulder buster used under the building under the mat?

No boobs Australia

Why there's a delay or lag betwen some little explosions in the begining and the big one instants later? Thanks

Bua, pero ahí te has matao a currar con el martillo vertical

Thanks for the education Dave ... Cheer's Mate!

Con no

Hours of work for 5 minutes of fun.😉

What a stupid way to wasting time & effort

The drill on your mini excavator is sure slick.

haha, rock go boom

one easier way to break rock I have found that has me doing a lot less work than you is simply to pay someone like you to do it !!!!!!!

Makes me wonder how that wooden fence is standing up, it's not like that rock stopped at the fence line.

Black powder makes such old timey explosions.

Bloody good job, Dave!

I hear this is the same stuff the doctors use when a baby is born without an ass crack.

do see pockets of mineral specimen sometimes?

The slewing bearing in that excavator is worn out.

A few days before this video, I was in need of some rock breaking. I started going through the videos and then you gave us this one. I've watched it 3 times now I believe, all because I like a happy ending! Enjoy watching how you treat the rock and watching the dig out! Thanks for the education and entertainment! I wish I had audio looped together of the rock cracking. I find it soothing.

With the terrible infestation of rabbits seems like a video entitled " Blasting Rodents with Dave"" would be a winner. Think of it. them little critters come out at night, matter of fact some of those yahoos in texas with extreme feral hog infestation bait a area at nite, and get them to gather ito X marks the spot. and literily blast hogs that normally hid in heavy brush. You cannot find them during the day.I have seen rabbits just about shoulder to shoulder at night during bad years, but during the day couldnt see a hair. of even 1. This is terrible crop damage and a big bad ugly problem..

15:44 sounds like my wife shot fired in bed😂😂

The foundation of those houses is on that same outcrop. They're close too. If they broke all that rock up with a big breaker it would have shook them apart..

What is the min gap between the 2 holes......????

@10:00 - "hello, Mr George...."

Seems like a rock like that would have been worth more to someone to have it by their custom pool than split up like that.

Hoe operator sux.....i could of ripped all that rock out in no time. He just babies it all the time and is actually hard to watch....

What happens to those chunks of rock afterwards? I imagine they are a valuable commodity for people building with natural materials. (One more for the logarithm.)

Too bad you can’t sell it to an artist for a tidy sum.

Do you ever rotate the hydraulic splitters 90' for a second go in a different axis?

Ha ha neighbours have their house fuckkkk the next immigrant

Honestly featger and wedges or wood and water an boom pop

Fun to watch but my back hurts watching you guys work bending over all the time. Should grab a plastic camping table to mix up on and save your back

Do they not have a jackhammer that can operate itself yet? Would be rad if you could chill in a chair while the drill keeps chugging.

"Cracking Goo" is such an Australian product name.

I'm all for keeping neighbor happy, but there's no way in hell I'm buying all that expanding grout just to pour it into the ground. Would of been cheaper and easyer to just put all hand on deck and get it out in 1 day the old fashioned way. They can deal with it for a day.

my name's Grout.

Thanks. I bought some expanding grout about 20 years ago. I couldn't get it in Australia and had to buy 20kgs from the USA. Need more, glad I found this video so I could find an Australian supplier. I don't want to try to remember how much the stuff sent from America cost me.

very cool

They must have really liked trampolines 😂

Have you ever imagined the rock you're breaking is the ceiling of a huge cavern? I've got a bit of a phobia about breaking through non-solid floors (walking over a bridge is no fun, let me tell you), so that straight thought would prevent me from doing your job for hours ;) And BTW, why isn't one of the blades of those hydraulic crackers longer to cover the whole travel of the wedge? You're constantly worrying about hole depth, that bit of extra material would be worth it just for your state of mind...

That's like the rock that just kept on giving and giving...

Dave, how did you learn this trade? is there a course? Also wondering why do you wear the dust mask while drilling when you have a vacuum going?

A lot of holes in that one Dave. I guess that is why there are bluestone quarries at Wollert. Good job in the end. There will be more work when they start building houses.
