@@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
Charlie, the heartfelt and creative marks that you inscribe on our ancient monuments will bear testimony to your talent for an eternity. Thank you! "A man who works with his hands is a labourer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist."
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. 👏👏👏👏👏
Wonderful to see a craftsman at work. My late brother was a stone worker. He died several years ago and you made me think of him. Wishing you all the best in your career-you will certainly go far.
Where is part two? 😢 Man, you definitely should upload more of this amazing craftsmanship, i can watch it for hours. I bet your channel will grow in no time, please keep up the great work!
SIMPLY AMAZING. This young man is going to live a good life, creating timeless beauty in a manner that pays tribute to craftsmen from thousands of years prior.
I've come to here from your TH-cam shorts. Please make more long videos if you can. It would be great if you can show different stages of work, even may be how obtaining the stock and doing rough cuts, installation of final product, etc
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.
After doing this work for my entire career and having 10-12 hand elbow and shoulder surgeries it’s a pleasure watching another craftsman pound stone… and might I say damn good young craftsman
You, sir, are a true master! I plan to join the Speculative Masons when I'm old enough, but I don't think I'd ever have the patience to be an Operative Mason!
If/when you do, try to find a Lodge with at least one teacher/mentor whose knowledge of speculative Masonry equals Charlie's skill at operative masonry.
Just came across your channel. Great videos mate! I visited York minster a few year's ago. Great Cathedral and works department. Keep the videos coming buddy 👌👍
Amazing work found your instagram and man I could get lost for hours, youre very talented . Fellow maker here yet I work in machining metal, granite, wood , etc with manual machines and cnc machines.
What a great job to have 😊 wish i could have my time over again, when I left school ( this might sound a little bit green 💚 ) but, I was of the impression that stonemasons only done grave stones . But in fact it's far more than that but didn't know at the time. Great work 👏.
Hey Charlie, love your work. Can you make a vid on your favorite tools, makers, sizes and where you picked them up. Those little adjustable bevels are so nice…
Random question: Have you ever read the fantasy novel Faith of the Fallen by Terry Goodkind? There are several sections describing the main character carving a statue and watching this reminded me of those chapters. I'm wondering how faithfully the carving was represented in the book.
Enjoy the vids. Just a suggestion...you're doing a job that it all about persistence, patience, and taking your time. Tik tok vids may be ok some times...but I definitely prefer the long form vids.
You should post full length videos with no fast forward just you and the stone even if it make a vid a couple hours I would watch it I would love to have your content just kind of going in the background while I’m at work it’s very relaxing just put some nice slow music in the background and show the hole proses raw it would awesome
Very hard and tedious work, but wow bro, incredibly satisfying. It must be an amazing feeling to know that you had a hand in the renovation of The Cathedral. I have a question, did you graduate from any Academy of Fine Arts? I admire
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.
What did you do today? I watched Charlie bashing stones all day. Extensive work for every piece. Just like it was originally done. Bravo. Where in the world is the project?
Watching this with my dad, who was a 50-year master mason before retiring. He enjoys your work.
/G\
Does he realise his work will be around for hundreds of years after he's gone?. That's insane to think about.

Respect man. I'm a web developer, so we've got undo buttons and backups. I couldn't imagine making any mistakes in your profession 😂
Charlie, the heartfelt and creative marks that you inscribe on our ancient monuments will bear testimony to your talent for an eternity. Thank you!
"A man who works with his hands is a labourer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist."
Somewhere, a Medieval stone mason is looking down on this and smiling, knowing that his trade's legacy is being carried on and shared with the world.

Charlie, people will enjoy and revere your work for a very long time.
Mate, we need more of this beautiful craftsmanship. I can watch this for hours and hours. Keep it up Charlie 👍 Cheers

I have no idea how I came across your channel. But you make the world a more beautiful place.
The only thing cleaner than your transitions is your amazing chisel work. Very nice!
You can really see why it takes decades to build a cathedral. Respect

The spirits of our ancestors watch over your proud, Brother.

Propper skill. Not just anybody can do this. Well done lad.
Nice music choice
Oh the birdie! What a lovely bonus to an already fascinating video

Seriously...what you do is so amazing.
Masterpiece in stone and music selection. Well done mate i could watch this non stop. Perfection

You definitely make it look easy!

Wow 😮! Beautiful work.
I never tire of watching your videos which makes me want to do the same
I'm not a stone mason but I work in the masonry field I enjoy the work
Many thanks! I would really appreciate part two and any more long format videos you would like to publish. 🙂
Dude, you're gifted!!!
Very cool craftsmanship and beats
It’s nice to see they are getting actual crafters for the Notre Dame cathedral rebuild and not just mold casting all the parts they need
Superbe vidéo, très agréable à regarder. Merci
Incredible. Just wow.
The finished piece must feel very satisfying after complication 👍😎
Loved watching this you have an amazing skill mate
Such a beautiful work
Thanks for sharing Charlie.
aboslutely beautiful work man
Such an absolute legendary skill !!! You nailed this, nice to see the industry still kept alive
Just came across your channel. Great videos mate! I visited York minster a few year's ago. Great Cathedral and works department. Keep the videos coming buddy 👌👍

Hey, my husband does that too! And we're equally fascinated by this excellent work. We need more long form videos!!
Stumbled on this channel yesterday on the shorts please make more long vids Charlie the music and craftsmanship go hand in hand it's asmr
Amazing craftsmen-ship, hats off to ya.
How wonderful, you rock.
Great work and great tracks
What a great job to have 😊 wish i could have my time over again, when I left school ( this might sound a little bit green 💚 ) but, I was of the impression that stonemasons only done grave stones .
But in fact it's far more than that but didn't know at the time.
Great work 👏.
Dankeschön für deine Mühe 👍👍👍tolle Arbeit 👍❤👍gern mehr davon .Und Gruß aus Nord Deutschland

That nice bit of bath stone and it nice to work with 👍a geat job 👍
Nice work and nice music taste welldone.
Makes you appreciate the work of 'Mason's throughout time, especially those Egyptians with their 'bronze' tools.
Stunning
Lovely to watch you mate welcome to pop over to our yard any time
Nice work man
Cool tunes too 😎
Mad respect!
Cute bird! And I want a part 2!
The patience needed🫡
4:01 *That cute little robin reminding you to take a well-deserved bashing-break and an essential seed-share!* 😅🦆
Hey Charlie, love your work. Can you make a vid on your favorite tools, makers, sizes and where you picked them up. Those little adjustable bevels are so nice…
Nice work
This is a master

Теперь я знаю кто построил пирамиды и многое другое.
To be continued bro 👍
You deserve a sub!
You made me want to watch an 8 hour livestream😂
Enjoy the vids. Just a suggestion...you're doing a job that it all about persistence, patience, and taking your time. Tik tok vids may be ok some times...but I definitely prefer the long form vids.
Fantastic skills Charlie. Its great to see a true craftsman.
Imagine the amount of stricks to build a cathedral !
You should post full length videos with no fast forward just you and the stone even if it make a vid a couple hours I would watch it I would love to have your content just kind of going in the background while I’m at work it’s very relaxing just put some nice slow music in the background and show the hole proses raw it would awesome
Your skills and abilities just blow my mind!! How many years have you been working with stone?
93 till... keep on carving 👍
I need more long form content!
magnifique🤩
Excellent craftsmanship rivalling all the many dedicated artisans of the past. All done by hand. Is there a reason for not using any powered tools?
It takes years to master a skill like this. A full apprenticeship has to be worth at least what a university degree is.
Very hard and tedious work, but wow bro, incredibly satisfying. It must be an amazing feeling to know that you had a hand in the renovation of The Cathedral.
I have a question, did you graduate from any Academy of Fine Arts?
I admire
master !!!
Un artista niente 👍
wenn nicht diese beknackte mukke spielen würde wäre s ein tolles video, handwerklich toll
Sick soundtrack
Post more full videos. It is a moral sin that more people have not seen your labour.
Trop cool
The feeling of seeing your stone in place on the church must be unreal
it's just the finishing. I would like to see a video where you are working a stone coming directly from the quarry.
Well done Charlie, very good job..What stone are you using? Its must be soft..or is it?
bravo! bravo ,could watch hours, (without music)

Nice video. How long did this one piece take ?
What did you do today? I watched Charlie bashing stones all day. Extensive work for every piece. Just like it was originally done. Bravo. Where in the world is the project?
You just destroyed all that ancient aliens talk about "how did ancient humans build amazing things out of stone"
