Vertical Coring Completed: A Salt Lake Temple Renovation Milestone

[@CatchTheBuzz1]

❤Thank you so much for this video and for all of the work that goes into everything in and around the Salt Lake temple as well as as all the Houses of the Lord all over the world ❤ 🌎

[@sfhotchkiss90]

You can see the immense pride and professionalism in their work. You don't often see this much care in construction.

[@starcraft2beast829]

These contractors are doing an amazing job to help preserve the temple for future generations. I cant wait to take my young boys to see the temple when it is rededicated.

[@TheJonnyCon]

I love seeing these updates on the renovation. For someone without a construction background, sometimes I wonder why the renovation is taking so long but hearing it direct from the people working on it, I'm in awe at the scale of what they're doing. This temple will stand for hundreds of years - that's worth the short wait now.

[@rick454p]

Watching the renovations on this Temple helps me remember to always be renovating my temple.

[@brandongaines1731]

Just imagine the experience that this crew is receiving from overcoming so many obstacles - should they ever face a similar situation to any of these on a future job, then they'll be able to say, "Oh yeah, that's just like on the Salt Lake Temple - we know just what to do!" I have no doubt at all that God sent angels to guide them through and to keep them so on course through the walls and corners of His temple 😊

[@syhiggins]

Absolutely brilliant engineering. Thanks to the technicians and craftsmen for taking such meticulous care of our Temple.

[@wilmarmalapitan9872]

To all workers, thank you so much. May God bless all your effort reinforcing and strengthening the holy temple of God.

[@michaelhiett1413]

What a wonderful blessing it is to see the precision and care manifested by these professionals. My wife and I were married for all time and eternity in this sacred Temple 46 years ago. We look forward to doing more Temple Work here when the efforts are complete.

[@paulah7222]

Unfathomable! Thank you West Coast Cutting and Coring. I appreciate knowing about this precision.

[@fromtwoswvem]

What an exciting time! Thank you to all those who have treated the Salt Lake Temple with respect and care in getting this project done right! 😊 Many blessings will come because of your work and dedication in such a significant undertaking.

[@quixilvr]

Thanks so much for documenting this process along the way and sharing it with us. It's a miraculous process to watch unfold!

[@JeffBrown-q5c]

I was at the temple on an occasion and when I finished my ordinance work, a temple worker asked me if I could give them a hand. I said sure! He took myself and another patron they asked up stairs after stairs and I thought wow! where are we heading? We went all the way to the top in the assembly room where they had just finished working on some large seating furniture and needed help lifting it back in place. After we lifted the furniture, he said 'would you like a tour?' uhhh. YES! haha :) We went to quite few neat places such as the towers and the 'Talmage' room where some important books were written and then into the attic under the metal roofing. There at the east side was a set of 'train tracks' cut and sticking out. They used them to roll stuff across the temple top as they built it, then cut them off when done. Also on that wall was a block with a star on it. They had to decide if they wanted inny or outy stars. It was the only inny star made to see what they were like. They decided on outy's which are much harder to make. And they flipped the inny star around to the inside and used the block as they are not easy to come by... :) What an experience.

[@johnpope8949]

So amazing to learn about how this temple renovation project is progressing. True craftsmen at work.

[@Glissandola]

Thanks to every amazing worker of every profession working on the Salt Lake temple!

[@melissacheckland6755]

Thank you so much for quality craftsmanship on this Temple that means so much to so many.❤

[@Pelthail]

I love these engineering behind the scenes videos. Absolutely fascinating.

[@SuperGolden8]

What a miraculous feat to protect out temple, that is our Diamond to the world! Thank you, and blessings to these craftsmen.

[@N8tron97]

Even though I knew that the cables were going to be placed in from top to bottom, I guess I didn’t know how involved it was. Very fascinating. I’m also super happy to see the progress that’s being made on the temple!

[@bheer98]

Very happy this crew did not sacrifice precision for time. What a blessing for such an incredible engineering feat.

[@susananderson1216]

Thank you for the video! ❤ It was wonderful! Thank you for all your hard work on the House of the Lord!

[@thisoldbelair]

This project never ceases to amaze me. I love these updates.

[@dannielibby125]

🎉 I would love one of those vertical granite cuts for my SEMINARY class - great for Doctrine & Covenants year!!!

[@_Arko44]

Thank you to all those who are working, and have worked, so hard on this project. This is going to be an historic re-dedication when it is ready!

[@QueensThief76455]

I think the glimpse into the required and innovative engineering is absolutely fascinating. Thank you for sharing the process.

[@mrth0nymous]

Amazing to see. I can't wait to see the finished product!!

[@ildenete3235]

Many many decades. I love this❤Milenio!! Que obra maravilhosa fazem da Restauração!

[@gracieloufreebush38]

Thank you for your time and sacrifice for this temple. 💜

[@davidsradioroom9678]

Can't wait for the temple completion

[@edwinphilips5212]

This was fascinating! Cool that new technology improvements came out of this effort.

[@MichaelGillespie-iy2qe]

Improvise, adapt, overcome. Carrying on the traditions of the builders. The early Saints were masters of those arts.

[@MyThemeParkFanatic]

Absolutely fascinating! Great job everyone!!! 🙏

[@Sandra-sueLGT]

These guys are amazing!

[@deerjerkydave]

The open house is going to be HUGE.

[@kultureking9177]

Must be a thrill to work in such a creative and rewarding environment

[@TrendyStone]

Fantastic video. I'm super appreciative of the work being done to preserve this amazing historical building.

[@DrTerminus]

How fascinating and intricate this work is! Thanks for sharing this process with us!

[@elijahhodges4405]

WOW! I love that they were able to keep it so tight.

[@cameronolds5576]

I would love to see a full length documentary on this project. All of the projects, set backs, successes, and the story of all the men and women who helped. That would be fantastic to watch.

[@rutht2023]

Thanks for highlighting the amazing work of these dedicated people. I find it very interesting.

[@perryewell5395]

This effort is gargantuan. It is a miracle that it will be done as soon as it will.

[@juliogaviola6350]

A modern engineering marvel; divinely guided hands for sure are around this construction.

[@marcpalmer881]

This is an amazing video!!! I didn't know part of the construction was drilling through the temple from top to bottom. Amazing!

[@kwolfgramm1]

That’s precision drilling from top to bottom. That’s skills and some divine inspiration in the works. You guys are awesome 💯🙌🏽

[@striderflys]

This definitely highlights the importance of this building.

[@jeeperp3926]

The amount of money being spent is astounding.

[@robsin2810]

Thank you, to all the workers.🇦🇺👍🙏

[@harveywright396]

A machinist on top of the temple. Amazing!

[@charlenecastaldo3602]

Wow! Fantastic engineering. ❤

[@jasonchatham4170]

Thanks to those men. That is a massive job.

[@lorenwilson8128]

My company does drilling on a much larger scale in the oil industry. Seeing the precision of the drilling here is just amazing.

[@jonahmcbride934]

I would love one of th e Core samples

[@cookiecamp8001]

How extraordinary!!! Thank you for your work!

[@lukehanson_]

These videos have been a treat. Hopefully we get a full-length documentary once construction is complete

[@davidpeterson7850]

So cool! Thanks for posting this.

[@stevecooper7883]

The sandstone blocks left in some parts of the foundation must've turned to rubble over the years and a few minor earthquakes. Excellent work done by the crew!

[@JCsouthernmiss]

Amazing work. Great video thank you!

[@aleshaborisovich]

Lovely people, great workers👷 All the best👍

[@LovelyChrysanthemumFlowe-dn1sw]

❤❤❤ love this house thanks for the work guys

[@SongMom8]

That is absolutely incredible. It’s kinda nerve-wracking, hoping that nothing fails along the way. The temple obviously needed an upgrade, with the foundation crumbling without anyone knowing until it was exposed. It’ll be so nice when it’s finished.

[@brindygray4410]

Absolutely incredible.

[@corbindallasmultipass]

I love these updates! Can't wait to see more and more of them! Keep them coming

[@Rudyard_Stripling]

This is a good reminder about the need for temple work after the Savior returns, done with his instructions and will.

[@ck2696]

Very impressive process.

[@TalonBates-y3e]

I think it’d be cool to hear Lonnie speak in general conference! Just to give an update and insight to such an important task.

[@a-aron5508]

Amazing workers 💪

[@FolkloreMcgrin]

awesome video!

[@AD-ju7ct]

This is impressive 😮

[@DerGlaetze]

Highly impressive

[@Seer_96]

Thx gentlemen.

[@establishingzion688]

Incredible! What an amazing feat of precision, innovation, and discipline! Very impressed with the great work being done to preserve the Lord's house! Hopefully we're all going through similar extreme measures in our own lives figuratively speaking. I know I have felt the Lord's working on me in precise, patient ways.

[@andymckane7271]

Restore it with pride, care and precision. Do this so the original Salt Lake City temple will remain intact centuries from now.

[@daboncanplay1]

I’m wondering if Brigham Young ever saw in vision a machine shop on the roof of the temple.

[@Posie1970]

I would love a piece of that leftover granite.

[@FairyKid64]

Amazing!

[@nathanhamilton7109]

I wonder if they could give away / sell little chunks of salt lake temple granite as keep sakes-the whole membership has been watching this for so long

[@davesalisbury1820]

Is there a way to buy some of those marble cores? I think it would be AWESOME to have one!

[@HGT2750]

I wish Discovery would make one of those "Mega Projects" documentary about this...

[@psychlover42]

Wow! 😮

[@novawarren5089]

I really hope each one of these people know and understand what their knowledge and hard work means to each member and those who who live on the other side of the vail, some might not understand our faith, and we understand this. But one day each one shall learn what their work means to Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and Heavenly angels that are helping them with their work. I believe theirs angels all over the world and helping the work in His Work! Thank you all for each Temple all over the world every body ❤❤❤ 5:47

[@jacobfrancis109]

Umm, can I buy those stone cores that got cut out? 😅

[@InTheirShoesOG]

How can I get a piece of the granite that they are drilling out?

[@spencerdavis1341]

uhm, can I please have a piece of the granite core that is removed after drilling?? seems like an amazing keepsake, i hope they haven’t just tossed all of that stone material to the landfill because i know many people would appreciate a piece of

[@davepowder4020]

I wonder, did they have to invent some new sub-processes and even processes themselves for this project? Can these new methods be used in other projects worldwide?

[@emagee7864]

Good article. Fascinating project and I am sure very expensive. The structure under compression will be bulletproof. Good luck to all involved.

[@asantelaryea-akrong7520]

They should cut the solid cores into coins and give them to families and children as souvenirs during the rededication. Let the members send a piece of the temple home with them. 🙂

[@joshuaterry846]

You guys are amazing! While you build God's house on earth, Christ prepares our mansions in Heaven. This is sacred work!

[@jaypage2899]

“Cry unto him over the crops of your fields, that ye may prosper in them. Cry over the flocks of your fields, that they may increase.” “There isn’t a single piece up here that is off the shelf.” You can’t tell me that isn’t some inspired work.

[@gingerjimenez9987]

❤❤❤

[@kolobkolobkolobkolob]

Thank you. God the Father lives, is aware of All of us, even now, the Lord prepares with His brothers and Sisters for His return to this earth under the direction of the Father. So prepare yourselves, even as this temple is being prepared, so when the earth shakes and your spirit shakes you will be able to stand, even so in His Holy name Jesus Christ. Amen.

[@shantel4960]

❤

[@DarronSanderson]

If there is ever a huge earthquake on the west coast, or volcanic eruption at Yellowstone, or a nuclear war, the Temple should sill stand.

[@keithhepworth4934]

This is an amazing feat of engineering but every time I watch one of these videos all I can think about is how much this is costing the church. $300 mil? $500?

[@NonWorldlyAl3X]

Ridiculous, there is no need for a temple that size

[@markrobertson5146]

A fully functional machine shop in the temple? I'm shocked, to find the home of a creative person, who's son is a carpenter, would have a machine shop attached. Ether 3:1, 6-8. Not the first time he's been in a shop. Granted it is not needed all the time.

[@monsierlemaire8282]

Expecting big earthquakes in Utah soon
