Always wondered how they did this back in the day.. Have you ever seen the mayos building in rochester Minnesota??? It has awesome stone carvings and brickwork.. look it up... gargoyles , nurses etc carved into stone,, mazoic tiles on roof etc.. alexandee building it may have been called too , not sure..

[@smasica]

I live in Princeton, MN. Been to Rochester many times. Some beautiful stone work on some of the old mansions on Summit Ave. in St. Paul, too.

[@daveyboy8907]

Tremolux Man yes I love looking at the old carved stonework.. I always try to imagine how they did it back then.. Also how much more work it was putting up scaffolding 30 stories high and hand carried all those blocks and bricks..

Hi mike. My mom carved/sculpted stone. I live in w. texas, old Apache territory in the Davis mountains. We have lots of arrow heads. Flint knapping, a whole new stone carving adventure. I love stone work in all it's forms. Lol, I like it best when you are doing it for me!

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Bob, Mike

[@hiltonroberts8742]

Wow! Great stone carving. I'm use to moulding a soft plaster aggregate with a shaped metal template for simple column bases and capitals. The plaster hardens afterwards. But this is real stone-masonry and an education .Thanks Mike.

[@doloresm7396]

Wow, wow, wow. Sorry, but machines will never replace the Artisan. I have watched machines do amazing things but none as amazing as the talent this man possesses. I flunked orthographic projection class (lol) so I'm amazed that another human does this kind of work. Just can't visualize things in 3 dimensions. Beautiful piece of work. Talented and patient. Is this company related to Thornton Tomasetti Structural Engineers in Philly? I remember them when I was a kid and I think my sister worked there if I am not mistaken. Actually I'm almost 100% positive she did. Great video, simply amazing. Thanks Mike. Can't wait for part 2.

What does a chunk of limestone like that cost? On my land here in the PNW I have some sandstone in the creekbed, there's shale for gravel at the quarry, granite here and there but I haven't priced it. Another great video!! Thank you - anyone watching this is a blessed apprentice for a day - and you know what to edit, where to film - just an amazing wealth of knowledge.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks aus, I appreciate it, mike

[@PizentuDeWind]

at 27:48 the very moment the guy removes the broken chunks of rock, the only thing I could think is that this looks like "Scoop Marks". Ive been watching a lot about ancient Egypt lately and was astonished by the scoop marks seen in Aswan Quarry at the unfinished obelisk. I know nothing of stone work or if this technique would translate to granite, but it seems so much more plausible that it was done similar to this than some of the wacky videos claiming the Egyptians used some ancient lost technology or soften the stone.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Piz,, I got a video out called " carving stones with ancient technology " Mike haduck, you are right all that stuff they tell you are not by stone masons or carvers, those theorys are made up by bedroom archeologist who never worked in the field, thanks mike

[@tracybeme1597]

Why don't you use a radial arm saw with a stone blade? You will have straight lines and relief cuts which will control the break for removing a lot of material quickly with your chisel.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Tracy, they definitely had the saws, but I guess they know what they are doing, thanks. Mike

[@roninnovastar1321]

Hello Wayne is it possible you can take on a challenge by carving out a diorite / basalt hard stone deity Indian statue with the modern cutting tool and see how close you can mimic the the precision, to ancient Indias stone carvers ? it would be a great challenge to be on a documentary showing all thought process and logistics from begining to end, on history / discovery channel. I am taking about 6 to 8 foot tall statue, if not, maybe you know somebody that would take on challenge. Check out- the black stone polished woman deity statues on the east indian temples, there amazing- the main challenge would be the diorite. I see stone carvers on youtube doing it on marble, in india and do a great job, but I want to see it done on harder stone.

Hi Chris, I got one but I was trying to get the details and he kept moving, mike

[@dirkryan5962]

i'd love to get the opinion of any stone carvers on a couple of ancient sites: 1. using _only_ copper chisels by hand, _how_ might ancient Egyptians have so accurately carved a nearly perfectly symmetrical face of Ramesses II? [link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2msYZlvjJKladE ]. 2. how could a 7th/8th Century A.D. civilization have created something like the Kailasa temple of Ellora, India-a single stone megalithic structure carved from a single piece of lava or volcanic plateaus-using primitive hand tools? [link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWK2dmVrorqFnsU ] btw, i'm not trying to prove or disprove "ancient technologies" or anything. i'm just absolutely _baffled_ by the level of detail, accuracy, and scale of such structures and have yet to hear a _plausible_ explanation.

[@curiousbystander9193]

how is it you think the granite around egypt was sculpted without steel? He even says it....hand carving is not uniform like a machine.....this is not what we see around eqypt, many done in granite? See ramsey's figure....complete replication in hard stone.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Curious, I give example throught my peru and pyramid videos, thanks Mike

[@curiousbystander9193]

again, your examples though are not sufficient.....for example.. Take a minute for everyone and really help people understand the \masonry say at the Osirion, from at least 5k years ago......how is it you account for the precise granite work there 5k years ago, over 1k years before the iron age. How about the precise parabolic angles in granite that appear to be like huge sculpted moldings.....we make molding with routers or mill heads....it's really the only way, and that stuff is gigantic and flawless, in hard, hard rock. Like the guy says in one here :oh that ws fro steel." but dude.....there was not steel for another 1300 years....
