Highly informative video (as usual) detailing the all construction processes involved in making a keystone and voussoirs for a series of intersecting stone arches. Wonderful close up shots highlighting both the setting out and the use of hand and power tools - the tips provided on using a grinder on curved surfaces were most useful. The video, like all your YT content Tom, clearly demonstrates the necessity to work systematically and ensure accuracy at each completed stage. The completed arch form is magnificent !! - it’s really clean and has superb crisp mouldings. Such a pleasure to watch, learn and be inspired by. Thanks so much for continuing to share such great Stonemasonry content!!!
I like the tip on brushes, something all stonies deal with! I’ve fixed so many grinders over the years I can’t remember the number. An extra tip is if you are in a pinch you can stack brushes. I always pull old brushes from old power tools for that reason. It’s Murthy’s law, it’s always late on a Saturday night trying to get a job out for Monday when they fail.
I was so happy to see a new vid. I loved your explanation of how you smooth a concave surface with a ridged disk. Just tilt it. Brilliant! I also saw how you used a small disk to cut a concave line. Thanks for going to all the work to show us how all the parts look when assembled.
If you ever need to replace the brush on an angle grinder always look for the power source. If it’s powered by compressed air then remove the tube. If it’s powered by a battery then take the battery out. If it’s powered by electricity then unplug it. 2:46
Great video. You mentioned not being a part of the install. I was wondering if you make an exception and create any stonework for your own house? Granted, I'd guess you need a stone building to have the strength to support stone detail work. But maybe like a ground-floor doorway arch or something?
Yeah, I’m purely workshop based now pretty much. Like I say, only when something on site needs sorting out when a problem has occurred do I go on site now, but I have spent years on site building and doing stone repairs but it’s not for me. I currently have a stone house but it’s 300 years old and is in a conservation area so new stone would look totally out of place on it and I wouldnt get permission to do any alterations to it anyway as it is a listed building (building of historical importance)

Hello, how long to make a stone like this?
this took me 9 hours with filming so probably 8 hours or just under without the hassle of moving a camera around.
Are u independent freelancer do services for ppl for mondy ,or just working for someone or company for a sakary

Subscribed then un subscribed! Drop the music it wont help you grow your channel. Most club goers probably aren't interested in this co tent.
Thanks for the feedback. Is it just one tune in particular you didn’t think was good or just all the music?
Although it's probably not the music I would have chosen, I personally thought it fit his personality and gave the video pace and a jovial vibe!
