What a beautiful video. Seeing a father and son work together and pass on skills from generation to generation. And what a fit man your father is, being able to do that as an older gentleman. Lovely dog too!
Спасибо за работу. Полезное видео. У нас в местности только гранит камень. Есть рыхлый известняк. Сверлим и разламываем клиньями. Санкт-Петербург, Россия. Thanks for the work. Useful video. We have only granite stone in the area. There is loose limestone. We drill and break with wedges. Saint-Petersburg, Russia.
Aberdeen granite, used for a lot of famous buildings and cobbles were the offcuts. My old foreman visited the Rubislaw quarry, the deepest man made hole 🕳 at the time
This is such a soft stone. Nice video. I liked it and subscribed. I have a really hard piece of stone/rock at 40 to 45 cm thick (deep) (1 1/2 ft.) that took a very long time to drill the holes into and a variety of thickness in different places which wedges with feathers can't split even that I followed the instructions seen on videos. Some of the wedges and feathers are completely in and others are barely above the stone surface and the hammer is recoiling. One of the wedges/feathers is jumping out of its hole upon being hit with a hammer. The stone is 1,5 meter long maximum (5 ft.) and 1 meter wide in its widest place (3+ ft.) while in the middle it is 80 cm wide (under 3 ft.). The top of the stone/rock has a "mountainous terrain" so to speak (variety of reliefs) so the holes were drilled at different "heights" of the stone. Are the wedges/feathers too short for this stone/rock? Can a rock/stone of various reliefs be split like this? The wedges are about 10 cm long (4") and I used 5 wedges for the stone's length of 1,5 m( 5 ft.). After drilling 5 holes I sprayed the stone powder/dust with a water stream and then drilled more into watery holes. The stone got wet a little bit. Wrong or right, I don't know. I can post photos or even a short video within the next several hours.
Whenever I try to wear them they seem to end up scratched within 5 minutes and then are completely useless hah! I even had a pair specially made with toughened glass and they still got all scratched.
It’s so good to see you father teaching you what his father taught him.
binge watching dry stone TV!

I used to split granite rocks with this technique. However we had air drills instead.
Great seeing you today
Nice! Where abouts was that?
@drystone-tv Scottish Highlands.
It was really nice Granite that split lovely. The quarry was closed back in the 60s though, a real shame

Fair play to your dad.
Does anyone know what they charge for rough stone what’s only suitable for walling. Per ton.

If your stone is that hard you shouldn't be trying to split it, just wall it as it comes.
What are the chemicals in the stone and why is this stone so hard?
