Making a Stone Fountain

- I use #fusion360 to model up a fountain, then cut the fountain from a 5000 lb piece of granite using a DIY CNC stone diamond wire saw. This fountain is a bit different, the hole for the water runs up the side. The openings cut using the wire saw left thin 1" thick pieces of granite. In addition to the water for the fountain, holes were drilled for @boldpros_ Fusion 22 RVS lights that were inset in the stone. I also used some Inlite Mini scopes to light the sides of the fountain. Stone came from Belmonte Rose Quarry in Havelock Ontario, I believe the quarry is now closed.
Gotta love it when your 'third hand' is a fork lift. Seems like quite a bit of work to get that stone set up, these are details that don't come to mind when viewing the end result. That's such a graceful design, I can't imagine the nail biting moving it knowing that you could easily break those fragile interior ribbons. That's such a beautiful block of material too, love the color. The outcome was worth every bit of the work, what an amazing sculpture. Thanks for taking us through the process, great to see new videos! Cheers!
Thanks Karen!
That came out looking so good.
Thank you!
LOVE THE WORK !!
Thank you!
Beautiful work!
Thanks!
Greg, я в восторге от вашего
двора с оборудованием для
камнеобработки !
Камни, гранит и мрамор -
это моё хобби !
Жаль, что от моего города
до ближайшего гранитного
карьера более 1500 км.
Я подписан на ваш канал
и под каждым фильмом
ставлю пальчик вверх !

Nizhnevartovsk, Thank you! Yes this is my hobby too. I have to get the granite from a few hundred km away. We both need to move closer to the stone! 😀Thanks for the thumbs up!
Nice work Greg!
Thanks!
hi, friend I am Braulio from Costa Rica Make a wire cutting machine. With a gasoline engine but it vibrates a lot. I have 12 meters of diamond wire, how many HP do you recommend for an electric motor?
7.5hp would be the minimum, 10 hp is ideal.
Wow! I am impressed! Not so much the product itself, although it is very beautiful, but rather the clever way you use your tools. I also process stone so I know what I'm talking about. Bravo! If you want, you can take a look at my channel. But it's not as impressive as yours.) Did you build your wire machine yourself? It's my dream to build something similar.
Hi Denis, I just watched some of your videos and subscribed. They are very good! Yes, you can see some other videos where I go over making my saw. I did start out with an old saw that used an abrasive slurry that only went up/down on a timer. Now it has 3 axis (x,y and rotary on the x). If you have about $30kUSD, then just buy one from China. Otherwise you can buy the big wheels (1550mm) from China for about $1000USD each. Or buy 4 smaller wheels. The larger radius of the big wheels help with wire breakage, but I think that was more a problem in the past. As I see some Italian saws now using 4 smaller wheels instead of two larger ones. I did mine with simple regular 3 phase induction motors using VFD's controlled by the CNC controller. So if you have those items laying around, you can make one cheaply. If you want names of Chinese supplier for the wheels just ask.
Thank you for your answer.)) I like to build everything myself, something like a hobby) So Chinese is not an option. I once worked for a company that installed control units on large machines like yours. So I saw a lot of industrial stone processing equipment. I have never seen drilling equipment installed on the machine body. A very smart solution. I wish you good luck in your business. And thanks for the great videos.@@GregsStoneYard
@@madeofstone7619 I saw the drill attached to a wire saw on an Italian saw. Of course it was much more elaborate... I just copied the idea. Wish it was mine 😀
