Dennis Carter, founder and owner of Deer Isle Hostel in Maine uses a 2-pound hammer to cut a 26,000 pound block of lovely Deer Isle granite into two equal parts. This is the first of many cuts. When finished, the resulting smaller blocks will be used to make the foundation of a workshop that he is building at the Hostel.

Lovely to see this still being done. In a "former life" I used to split large lumps of stone using the same method (called Plug and Feathers here in the UK). Something that I was a little surprised to see here was that the quarry block was apparently dumped flat on the ground - I always liked to put a hefty skid directly under the fracture line, which helped direct the split and also as the fracture starts to open, the weight of the stone works with you, not against. Obviously you also need to add a couple of smaller skids either side, as well, as you don't want a couple of tons of stone rolling over onto you! It also meant that after the stone was split, you don't have the issue of separating the two halves, but can get slings around them more easily. Thanks for posting this, it brought back a lot of memories!

@@at7388 Nothing as large as this, the largest ones I worked on were 5 tonnes as that was the capacity of the crane for unloading. The stones were also softer than granite, mostly Boles Hill, Wattscliff-Lilac, Forest of Dean, Grinshill, Stanton Moor, Hollington, etc sand/gritstones, but also various of the Bath and Guiting ooliic limestones. My primary cut saw was only an ancient Anderson Grice circular saw that could cut 18" in the bed, so splitting quarry blocks by hand was fairly necessary. The firm I worked for never advanced as far as buying a frame saw, sadly. We didn't work with granite, slate or marble very much, but on the occasions we did they were bought as slabs or sawn six sides.

But he doesn't make it perfectly smooth, also how did he get the holes in the granite to begin with, and quarry the stone? I'd also like to see him move one that's 10-100x heavier than that one for 100 miles. Also, the Egyptians didn't have steel spikes like this, they had copper and wood which aren't nearly as hard

@WOW WOW I cannot count the amount of times I have been referred to this laughable attempt at recreating the stunning work of the ancients. First of all, there has never been a bronze saw of that size found in Egypt, and second of all, are you really applying this 4mm/hour technique to the literally millions of stones used for the great pyramid? Some weighing up to 80 tons? OR the blocks in the Serrapeum at Saqqara?

Luis Fernando That's not really the same equivalent. It's quite well known how the stone for the pyramids was quarried and cut. Granite was also cut using a few methods, one effective one was copper but expensive for them because of imports. However there is many many pyramids all leading upto the famous ones, it shows the evolution of their building techniques including their failed ones where the foundation gave out, a chamber collapses etc The internal ramp theory seems the most plausible and was also seen in another earlier step pyramid built, the rock cutting was tedious but again the tools on site, and incomplete ones show their methods. For instance the obelisks that never quite made it out the ground shows they used rock hammers to remove material all around, however abandoned one that was cracked. Unlike what most documentaries say they are not a big mystery, experts know there is several ways they could have been done, especially after seeing the many before them and observed the learning. The only mystery is which of the plausible methods was used, which isn't totally decided.

THIS man is a homesteader and built his own home from his own land. He also runs a hostel. This video was made because he was so happy to be splitting his own rock by himself for the first time (as he clearly said). It wasn't designed to be a "teaching" video. Give so credit where it is due, very few could or would chose his lifestyle. Then again, HE has no mortgage and built his home in a couple years, with his own trees he milled himself....and it is GORGEOUS. No water bill, no electric bill (yes he has electricity, it is solar) and grows a years worth of food every summer. He runs his hostel 5 months out of the year and produces enough income to enjoy the rest of the year. I love to be as smart as this man...never know what this Country's' future holds.

Amazing how force and patience can split a boulder. Just takes time and work. Not as fast as a rock saw but not near as expensive. Suggestion: take the wedges to a blacksmith and ask him to grind the mushroomed tops off the wedges. Mushroomed wedges can split off at high speed and injure people. This applies to all struck tools. Also have the Smith drill small holes in the tops of the wedges and connect them together with a small chain. That will keep them together after the rock splits and the feathers drop to the ground. Some always go missing. This saves the search time.

Watching this in Rockport, Massachusetts. Old stone is everywhere in this town, bearing the marks of these same tools. The granite foundation blocks on the front of the old houses don’t have those marks because they were dressed to remove them and make them not look ‘cheap’, but often the ones on the sides and back still had the vestiges of the holes.
