- in this episode i showcase a few different types of techniques used daily in the stone dressing trade of how i back off stone. currently processing stone on the church project for a reclamation company in greater Manchester there is 250 tonnes of stone to back off
The Term backing off is where the stones bed is reduced to between 100mm and 140mm on the bed to comply with moden day building regualtions
Glad to see you back Lad , it just goes to show that plenty of people are still able to appreciate craftsmanship 😊 All the best ,love the substone 😅
Thanks mate. Hard winter and wasn't feeling it. Plus didn't have the weather

I gotta say watching you work is like watching a magician especially when you split that stone with the maul.
Appreciate that pal. I went perfectly for the camera
Excellent work!
I’m still impressed that with today’s technology and machinery, there’s still folks like this earning a living by using traditional methods.
Keep up the great work and be safe!
Thank you mate. Some people use croppers which is a hydraulic splitter but they aren't for me unless the stone is really tight bedded making it hard to back off
Bosh 😲 that cut with the hammer at the end 💪
Going to say mate, well done to your little one for giving a hand. It made all the difference mate, especially showing how to use the chisel 👌 good job Annabelle🙂
She is going to be coming with me alot more to help with the angles. It split like a dream mate to be honest
Thanx for taking the time to document your work. You are a true craftsman.

Fax native in exile to Scotland here, just found these videos, beautiful artistry, the knowledge of the tools and materials with that stunning hand eye coordination and no doubt much knowledge about the craft. Im looking to dress some stone and wondering about tools, unfortunately even though im well used to the accent cant quite catch the name of the type of tool for spliitting. Also im used to little sharpening stones for small blades, what do you use to get those edges, some kind of angle grinder, whetstone wheel etc? Im an absolute novice with stone but love the art on display here, definetly going to be checking out the other videos aswell.
Yes mate. Bench top grinder. Do you ever get back down the the great town mate. So much history on the happy Valley
I love dressing abit of stone. Was one of the 1st things I was taught. Local to you too from Keighley
Not too far at all pal. I done plenty work round Silsden, Addingham and Steeton too. Also did a good year for Skipton Properties too
@@the_yorkshire_stone_dresser all local to me pal I do most of my work around Silsden crosshills area. Keep the videos coming fella.
У вас камни о которых можно только мечтать, и мягкие и колятся легко. Уже в куче лежат с ровными гранями а у нас гранит такой что из тонны трудно в работу выбрать пару штук.
Great explanation James! Please explain when you would use the maul instead of the pitcher? Is it just for stone that is too heavy to lift to your banker?
Thanks Mark. Normally when the stone is too big for the banker or when I can't cut it to get two out of it. I will cover this more indepth, thank you for the idea
@@the_yorkshire_stone_dresser Thanks mate!
How do you sharpen that chisel?
I take them to the blacksmiths
Just what i was looking for.
I have 80m2 of purbeck that i have to reduce from 150mm bed to 100mm.
Not looking forward to it.
Could you tell me best place to buy a hammer and chisel like that.
Thanks.
Thank you for watching. Have you done much backing off of stone before?
They tools are hand forged and sometimes take a while to produce from R H G travis sons. If you need any advice you can always drop me a dm on Instagram or Facebook.
Not really, especially that quantity but I can use a claw hammer 😂. I was hoping there was a shop option. I'm guessing your ones are a few bob.
@stum.4915 they are 120 I think plus vat
Many thanks. I'll look it up and give it a go 😅
Easy as pie! 😬
🕺🥧
I like Thor's hammer!❤
Yeh I lent it to him 🤙🏽
We need to make a sketch with that
I'm curious. What type of stone is it? And how much are you charging per pallet/ton/bag?
It's reclaimed punch face walling and I charge per m2 but the price is between me and the client.
@@the_yorkshire_stone_dresser Understandable. Make us Yorkshire folk proud.
jesus I know how hard that is son. I'm a fellow stonemason.
look after your joints son
Do you need good hand eye Coordination for your job? Where are your Ear plugs? In your pocket I guess.😂
Definitely but it's like doing kick ups with a football. First time you might do 3 or 4. But do that everyday for 18 years and you perfect it
