These are the things I liked about the video: 1.There is no annoying music; 2. Because there is no music, I can hear, and enjoy the sounds the tools make as you work; 3. You saved as much of the original wood as you could; 4. You used mostly traditional hand tools to do the woodworking; 5. I loved that you used the draw knife to make plugs. It's been years since I saw one being used; 6. It took me back to seeing my father, a hand-tool carpenter, use a hand operated whetstone, and 7. It all was thoroughly enjoyable. I have subscribed. Thank you for sharing.

That isn't an old stone, that is some sort of concrete ... it ought be just chucked and find a brand new really expensive totally unknown stone to replace it. What would actually be used? A real stone cut and shaped or more realistic is it a concrete or other geopolymer stone material? I would wager if this was still a common thing to use, it would be some form of concrete or geopolymer but historically, say, in the 15-1600's ... what then? What stone would they source to use? Has to be a sedimentary stone I would wager that too, something that is abrasive but will wear down and still be manageable to shape. Something like a marble too comes to mind ... or a gypsum based stone ... maybe they used several types as we do today have grades of sandpaper to get a rough or polished finish. A lot to say here and my apologies for the rant.

In Sweden we have a hinge on one side of the tub so we can lower it, the stone must never stand in water then it becomes uneven or oval.
