In this video I'm making a base moulding for the side of a cathedral window. The stone is a magnesium lime stone quarried in a small town near Leeds.

Does he realise his work will be around for hundreds of years after he's gone?. That's insane to think about.

@@AstrixCloudhe's literally cut worn sections out of centuries old cathedrals and put in replacement pieces he made. Absolutely stunning to think cathedrals are now centuries old mosaics of thousands of such repairs and refurbishments. He's part of a huge thousand year old chain of workers. Just don't tell him all the technical skills he learned are Byzantine by way of France in origin hehe

Good to see this craftsmanship is still being kept alive in Europe. I did a 4 year apprenticeship as an Organ builder. Everything was done by hand. Unfortunatly our main customer (the Catholic church) decided to go with cheaper options abroad...cheaper being nothing is really handmade by a craftsman and all done by machines. My company went broke and so did my job! Keep up the good work Charlie...bet your old mans proud

I am a mason of some time but haven’t been on the tools for over 30 years - this takes me back I can tell you. Well done - it will live with you forever even if like me you come off the tools. Great skill and obviously a great teacher in the background somewhere. 👏👏👏👏👏

I did my apprenticeship as a sheet metal worker in the 70's I'm still working past my retirement . All my skills have been replaced with computer plasma, laser and water cutters. It warms my heart to see someone so young with such skill in a trade that still uses the same tools and procedures that are thousands of years old. Respect to Charlie and his trade

Kid, keep doing this. I enjoy stone Mason videos. Especially hand carved with hammer and chisel. Believe it or not, asmr, scientifically speaking, can relieve physical pain. It's easy searchable. I'm in recovery from surgery, and the medication helps with the pain, but watching stone Mason videos and even wood carving are helping significantly.

Great workmanship. I have done a lot of stonework, a large variety, over many decades, it is always very rewarding, more of a craft than simply a skill. We’ve just put in a quote for a feature wall. In Dallas, there is an existing which was constructed in the recent past and its probably the worst job I’ve ever witnessed. Although saying that we carried out remedial work on random rubble wall that was built in the 1600’s, they must have been gassed when they built, unbelievably abysmal. Charlie, wear a mask or an Airstream type helmet you will get pulmonary disease or worst, in the old days Quarry men (extracting sandstone), rarely made it past their 40’s, silicosis killed them.
