Nice work! A pro tip from a retired journeyman stonemason from the 'for what it's worth' department. If you're going to be doing this type of work long term, get yourself a good pair of knee pads that's designed to specifically protect your patella(s). Your knees, ankles, legs and hips will thank you 20-30 years hence. Anyhoo...keep developing your craft as you have a good aesthetic eye for proportion - a rare 'gift' in the stone setting world! Cheers...
@tomthompson7400 it's the same principle as the quoins at the base of the cheek end. Just the huge amount of weight on top of it will create enough friction to stop it going anywhere. 🙂
how can this artist only have 60 subscribers... this is amazing and it motivates me to try something similar myself but in a much smaller scale

Hi. Do you mean the first two either side when the circle starts?
@@markstuff0 yep ,, they dont seem to be anchored to the base course at all
