One of your BEST Videos! Mike. (You got a lot of knowledge working w/ your Dad. ) I know I did w/ my Father (He was a Well Driller). We were very fortunate

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Henry, very true, mike

PA has lots of great stone buildings/structures - state blessed with great rock/quarries. Pittsburgh has some fab stone structures. Here in VA there are way more older things made of brick. Remember asa kid, waiting for my Mom to pick me up from the Cathedral of Learning. Sitting on steps each week, waiting after an art class, fascinated as masons were making repairs. Slow work, skilln patience. Amazing work in that building n many of the Carneige libraries. Again, thanks for sharing your skill n knowledge. Love the education, .

Love the video mike. My father who’s a third generation mason taught me very similar methods with using a point. This is very informative as always!

love all the videos and shared knowledge, im thinking i need a large stone for my very own and chisel a ten commandments tablet as a constant reminder to me.

You are a Rock Star Mike !

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Gary, mike

[@Observe33]

Great video, thanks Mike. I think they may have used Crandall hammers as well. Basically a bunch of point chisels like an axe.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Bryan, I believe that. Mike

[@JeremySharpSMSG]

We use pneumatic hammers for metal seams in ductwork. Glad to see them elsewhere building and creating a finish

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Jeremy, Mike

[@T.E.P.]

Superb vid again Mike ..... thank you for taking sooo much time to create these learning experiences. My 7 year old and myself watch these together and he's fascinated. And finally he's stopped thinking Aliens built the pyramids. Things like that are always built by tired grumpy masons

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Thor, very true, mike

Hey Mike, i was a bricklayers labourer for years when i was younger. You make stuff look easy...but i know it isn't. I have a ruined back to prove it. As a highly skilled stonemason can i ask a question ?. I know you have been to Egypt but i am not sure if you went to the Ramesseum in Luxor ?. There is a huge granite statue of Ramses the 2nd that has fallen down but weighed around 1,000 tons....one single piece. Is it possible to move that over hundreds of desert miles and then carve a granite statue of that size ?. Your opinion is the most important in these matters....God bless, peace to ya.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Darren, I would say it was carved at the quarry, i don't have any doubt, they moved it, like the Roman's made ships and siege machines they made ways to move it, thanks mike

[@dazuk1969]

@@MikeHaduck That is a great answer Mike. I already had my thoughts but had to ask someone who knows what they are talking about.....you. I want to let you know i have had dialogue with a Professor of History over there."world of antiquity" is the channel. Yes, you are correct....the Romans are documented to have moved and carved multi ton pieces of granite. I just needed to hear it from a man that has worked stone all his life.....God bless n peace to ya Mike.

[@cornerstonecontractingserv5161]

Thang mike did not know you did stone masonry , thanks for the info

Thanks, yes half the channel is devoted to stone work, thanks Mike

[@rhydiananderson9027]

Hi. I came across your video while looking for a solution to a problem with my sandstone paving. I had a scratch in the paving and to try and get rid of the scratch I use sand paper to sand it down. The sandstone where I've sanded now still has the scratch but also stands out even more because it has a polished look where I've sanded. Is there anything I can do to tame that small sanded area back to the more rough look from before. Was thinking of some kind of chiselling bug I have no experience with this and wasn't sure if I'd just end up with more scratches. Any advice would be great. Thank you.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi, in a lot of my videos I just get some mud and rub it on, let it dry and it stains it, thanks mike

[@stevenschaublin9695]

very good video on rock facing and you demonstrated how the Egyptians where able to carve stone by hitting them with harder stones and they didn't need any help from ancient aliens from the planet mars

looks like a concrete block in some places of video.. how do you define rock ? for my thoughts concrete man made stone nature make. like your work so much

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks terrie, I would say God made stone is natural and man made is man grinds it up re heats it and it's called man made, my opinion, thanks Mike

Mike, I think it's time to develop a glossary of terms.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi, there are some in those books but lots of different names for the same thing depending on where your from, thanks Mike

[@freshimpactco.8698]

Mike is a great mason, the knowledge he gives is a gift given freely to all who watch him and a gift should always be treasured. I learnt so much from Mike, I have taken what Mike has taught and applied it to my own creations. adrian_potkins on Instagram, I am posting this link only to show just how much I appreciate and value what Mike teaches.... Thank you Mike so much for your videos, especially the dry walling episodes you did. They helped me so much.

Thanks Fresh, I appreciate it , Mike

thanks for clarifying the machine finished nature of some older like petra.......kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6HGfHaVjZJkfsk

Hi, yep limestone is soft, no big deal, it just takes time. Thanks Mike

[@curiousbystander9193]

@@MikeHaduck you obviously did not see the video link and the uniform, continuous etched marking, clearly not done with some punch visle technique.....yes, more like the machined finished you mention, yet fail to show us......

[@MikeHaduck]

@@curiousbystander9193 I dont see the big deal, nothing that any Carver cant do, brian is a good explorer but he's not a stone Mason or carver, thanks mike

[@curiousbystander9193]

@@MikeHaduck wow, this has nothing to do with Bryan.......what I see is some sort of machine that is able to generate continuous, non variable torque on some sort of grinding head. There's little evidence of any, zippo, zero evidence this of punch work or chisel carving.....as a matter of fact, the distance between the lines is so invariable it's hard to imagine anything but some sort of machine process....and of course, this all happened before the time of christ, yes in the same period we supposedly learned to smelt iron.....yes, I know, this kind of stone does not require iron, but what it does require is something other than chisels and mallets to achieve this kind of machined finish. ANd again, you said in the beginning of the video you'd discuss machine finished pieces, and you well, never did....... onward

@@curiousbystander9193 when I was a kid and went to the quarries they were still doing everything by hand, dont listen to all these bedroom archeologists who never worked with stone in there whole life, thanks mike
