Granite Rock Splitting - Making a Granite Rock Block ~ Works in Stone

Granite Rock Splitting - Making a Granite Rock Block - Works in Stone
Granite Boulder Stone Splitting with Feather & Wedges ~ We will be covering the back wall of the dressing suite, The Gardens Suite at The Gardens of Castle Rock with granite split boulders. I’ll show you how to cut and shape stone in this series of videos. Feather and wedges are used to split the stone into 6 to 10-inch sections. Stone hammers are used to shape the granite rock into rectangular building blocks. This will be a fun project to undertake. Make sure you take some time to watch the other videos about this construction project. Thank you subscribing to the channel and leaving us a comment! We most certainly would appreciate it if you did! Share what you’ve done! Best to you and your projects! Thank you for watching… Enjoy!

I been looking for videos about modern day megalithic masonry work. I really appreciate this, as its pretty much that.

[@WorkshopatTheGardens]

[@DanielArabella]

thanks for making a fun video to watch. the splitting process really highlights the quality of our local granite

[@WorkshopatTheGardens]

it does work nicely... although sometimes it misbehaves. It has been a fun project so far!

[@shaidyn8278]

What an incredibly musical piece of stone.

[@WorkshopatTheGardens]

Thank you... I always smile to myself when I'm blowing the dust out and the stone begins to sing!

[@nomagallery789]

Ive been using these to line a new walk back to my art studio building in my yard.... thats A Lot of manual work to produce these - I Will enjoy and appreciate them even more now !- thank you

[@WorkshopatTheGardens]

Sounds like a wonderful project! Nothing better than when someone asks where you got those beautiful block and you can reply… “I made them!” Cheers!!

[@dekonfrost7]

Good demonstration of the trade

[@gardenwedding1869]

wow... so much work goes into making the block! but, it is looking so amazing! Can hardly wait for the first wedding couple to take their photos in front of the stone wall!!

[@WorkshopatTheGardens]

slowly and surely we'll get enough stone cut to finish the build! it is looking great!

[@GlennSwitzer]

great looking block... will be fun to see the whole wall completed!

[@WorkshopatTheGardens]

we're keeping at it... one bag of mud at a time! The pace will pick up as soon as wedding season is over.

[@JohnDoe-wo6hl]

[@noneyourbusines6738]

Awesome i knew the Maias did have tools to do the work, but made out Gold and silver like the Aztekas and Incas..i am not a manson but my summer house does have planny material i do have 20T boulder that i have break some and i am thinking about use on the drive away about 2 acres in straight line fron the gate entrance toward the garage in the other house inside the property..

[@behindnews9920]

What drill used u

[@THALASA]

1 thing about granite stone, it will survive longer then any other material. Unless you build your house out of diamonds but that's another league

[@WorkshopatTheGardens]

very true! it is a fun material to work with... and it helps knowing that the effort will last a long time!

[@sebastienleblanc2708]

Lead! Mortar!

[@sethwright8896]

What size drill do you use on material this size? I am just starting to play around with splitting granite with wedges and I don’t want to waste the time and effort drilling holes that are larger than necessary. I’m currently using a 5/8” bit in a 1” SDS-Plus drill and it feels like overkill but not sure how small I can go. I’ve read that thickness is 4-6x the length of the wedge but I’ve not seen anything about sizing the diameter of the holes/wedges for a given size.

[@jenniferherb5212]

Would this work with sandstone?

[@tamdinggyalpo1416]

[@ajazkarim6387]

Your techniqe is very nic.can we spilt other stones in this eay?

[@WorkshopatTheGardens]

Thank you! Yes, it works with all types of stone.

[@mitchelreimer6934]

Hey great video, its exactly what i was looking for, but i was also wondering, where does one get these granite boulders to begin with? is it as simple as buying them online, or how did you do it? thanks

[@WorkshopatTheGardens]

all depends where you're located... here in Minnesota they are everywhere because they were left during the last Ice Age by the glaciers... beyond that, it is best to check with your local landscaping center... or ask a farmer.. best to you!

[@ben8606]

Call your local quarry. Mine sells granite boulders for $85/ton. Pickup

[@mirisprihatin6117]

what tipe masonry drill bit and brand

[@marcoantoniotapia2314]

Excelente ...algún correo para contactarme

[@brandonpatrick2631]

How do you make granite?

[@WorkshopatTheGardens]

A lot of heat and some time…

[@shaikshalimiah7179]

Sir please give us the more information

[@donfranchini]

I’d like to order the tool u used to score the stone. Looks like a little axe 🪓. Is it on Amazon? Link please 🙇🏻‍♂️

[@dogfacedponysoldier5971]

It's called a Stone Mason hammer. They do have them on Amazon.

[@markorosz3595]

It is not a hammer. It's a chisel with a handle

[@JoeL-mm2lc]

wait until you see the price, might change your mind

[@dondiego1969]

can you make the whole house out of granite?

[@leeknivek]

Yeah, if you're rich

[@gr6696]

🥃🥃👍🏻👏👏👏👏❤❤😜🤪🤣

[@WorkshopatTheGardens]

🙏🙏🙏

[@dhrubajyotiroy349]

what is its price per 1000 pieces.........

[@WorkshopatTheGardens]

never calculated the price per block... they were handcrafted for personal use. thanks for checking in!

[@sk.kamalkamal7323]

సార్ నమస్తే మాకు మిషన్ కావాలి సార్

[@LeonAllanDavis]

Ever open one up and find money?

[@ryleedx1209]

Real Fortnite brick thing

[@sharika470]

Too much labor Hard work I think if you buy the final product ; it will cost you less , unless your are doing as a hoppy

[@WorkshopatTheGardens]

not about the money... the design, look and feel... for the final project.

[@clintweathers4755]

This music blows.

[@robakrobakie5473]

a lot of holes, a stone disfigured, that's not the case with small pieces. learn someday you will do it better
