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 👍

[@the_yorkshire_stone_dresser]

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

Nice video. Interesting seeing the whole job.

[@the_yorkshire_stone_dresser]

Thank you for taking the time to watch. Really appreciate it.

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 KZbin 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!

[@the_yorkshire_stone_dresser]

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

[@philiptyson7197]

Well done …..plenty of people in this world need to take a leaf out of your book and work hard like you. The results are amazing 👍

Thank you for watching Phil

Cracking video. I work with stone myself and what you do looks brilliant.. i think i might try and expand my skill set lol.

[@the_yorkshire_stone_dresser]

Thanks for taking the time to watch it. Really appreciate it. What is you do currently in the stone trade

[@6uvn3r]

I currently do stone restoration, at the moment im building a wall in sheffield that one side it stone and the other 300 ish year old brick

[@BobbytoChippy]

Yes broooo!!

[@the_yorkshire_stone_dresser]

Thank you Mark

[@robertreed4337]

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.

[@the_yorkshire_stone_dresser]

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

[@StanOwden]

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.

[@anthonyboyd4016]

Try useing a brick hammer to clean the lime mortar off mate 👍

[@the_yorkshire_stone_dresser]

Thanks for the tip mate. Chisel just chews at it when it's wet

[@yoyuepz]

I give credit to the men who were the stone masons in Lancashire and Yorkshire during the 18 and 19 century and Scotland too.

[@the_yorkshire_stone_dresser]

Fantastic and credit to our heritage

[@diveinnjim]

wouldn't it have been a lot quicker to course the stone as soon as you'd backed them off?

[@UrbanDIYer]

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?

[@the_yorkshire_stone_dresser]

No idiotic questions mate. Am reducing the bed. Face to back to 120mm. I could cut it all with saw but faster by hand

[@scotthyslop3512]

hi , great vids bro, can you put a link for the Riley (pitcher) and hammer please?

[@the_yorkshire_stone_dresser]

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]

@@the_yorkshire_stone_dresser keep at it bro , do you fit stone as well as you cut it ?

[@scotthyslop3512]

we call cutting stone (dressing stone) here in cork Ireland, I'm at the stone 25 years

[@tomswinhoe2392]

Nice work. Do you have any issues from using the hammer and chisel, ie numbness in fingers/hand or elbow problems?

[@the_yorkshire_stone_dresser]

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

How long does a pitching tool like that last?

[@the_yorkshire_stone_dresser]

It's last me on average of 4 to 6 months. Next episode will feature my tools

[@scotthyslop3512]

@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]

@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
