I like old school dudes like this, no proper gloves, no eye protection, just church clothes and good hands
-
If this is what this guy can do at 86, imagine watching him go in his prime.
-
Every 1-2 years I stumble on this video and continually rewatch in amazement.
-
The fact that he never loses his hat is impressive
-
the amazing part is watching him pull out the unneeded wedges...he knows EXACTLY which ones are no longer wedged tight and can be pulled loose...he's not even "testing" by pulling on them at all...he just grabs them out...the DECADES of experience and expertise that speaks to is truly that of a Master of his craft....

"Aliens must had been around to cut a rock precisely down the middle" Oldman: "hold my cane"
-
His wife wanted him to help clean the house, he said "just as soon as I spread some gravel on the driveway"
-
His protective gear is a sport coat and fedora. Love it
-
This is from Portugal and this man is Portuguese, he actually cursed a lot and said that it didn't turn out that great, he was expecting a better cut. Briliant work from an expert.
-
Dude has some legit accuracy with that sledgehammer.
-
Legend has it he once killed two stones with one bird
-
Imagine what this old blokes hand shake would feel like when you met him for the 1st time? You'd be thinking he was an alien
-
Old dudes rock......
-
Gotta love it. A stone mason plying his trade in a fedora and suit coat. Now that is class.
-
He's turning that slab into more of those cobblestones behind him. Especially incredible at his age.
-
At 86, he's pretty fit, not easy to wield a sledge hammer continuously like that...
-
This is what experience in stone-masonry looks like. It is always a pleasure to watch oldtimers like this guy show us how things are done.
-
Gotta love watching a craftsman of any trade work....slow, deliberate and accurate..my hat is off to you sir!!!
-
This is a man who just knows his trade. Makes it look effortless. RESPECT
-
Perfect!!!!! This was so good to see how large blocks of stone are actually cut without machinery. Thank you for sharing.
