Wonderful to watch the barn owl being freehand carved. The variety of chisels and tools used both to remove waste and then subsequently carve intricate details was great to watch. The way you tackled the lettering was insightful too (various potential options for transferring the letters onto stone). The completed memorial is fantastic!! The video highlights the different skills and projects one can encounter as a banker mason. Inspirational content as per usual!!!
Thats wicked man! An other way of transferring the letters on to the stone is to rub charcoal on to the back of the paper, stick it to your stone with tape/blue tac then with a blunt-ish 10-H draw around the printed side of your letters then you should have a nice out line :)
Great vid.. I have just started out with a small workshop after many years fixing. Just hammer and chisels for me with a few power tools. Thanks for sharing your skills. Gives an old man hope..👍👍👍

Hi really nice achievement just with an image very nice job
You're a genius
My uncle carved one out of clipo. He got me into the Masonry game
Just take a gluestick, paste the paper onto the stone and carve right through the paper. Easy peasy.
