    I'm from Texas, born and raised in the desert of west Texas and currently living in the heat and humidity of North Texas (DFW Metroplex). In both places, I've established a familial and working policy of one 591.4ml/20oz bottle of Gatorade (or other electrolyte) for every two (500ml/16.9oz)water bottles. If, after two complete rounds of that and no one needs to use the bathroom, immediate shade/cooling break as one of the things people don't realize if that you can be drinking plenty of fluids, regularly, as you're working, but if you don't need to head to the bathroom at some point, you're dehydrating. Dizziness counts as overdoing it😮. Stay safe. I so enjoy watching you (and getting Christmas presents from y'all's shop), but I'd rather y'all be safe, sound, and healthy.

    Old Disabled House Bound Dusty Rusty Rockhound here: I now have several jewelry pieces of BC picture stone. I lived 40 years on the Washington coast... I've been away for 10 years now. I miss it so much! Wearing this stone gives me a vision of what my life was like back then... makes me feel a little closer to the coast that I so loved! Thank you for turning me on to this special stone... it helps to heal my soul! ⛵️

      I wear a Petoskey stone around my neck from lake michigan that a local jewelry maker was selling. The stone was from lake Huron.
      I have a beautiful perfect Petoskey my son and his beautiful wife found me in my pocket that I want set in silver for a ring.
      I love my state and wear the stone pendant every day.
      I'm a total rock hound and have been since I could pick them up and stuff them in my pockets lol

I loved hearing the stone “ring” it was quite incredible. I had never heard of picture stone until I watched your videos. It’s so beautiful. 😊. It’s terrible that people seem to think that they can go and help themselves to someone else’s property and hard won work. A few bear traps would not go amiss….
    Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean people are NOT claim jumping……..folk can visit, just not collect rocks.

  • @Sailor376also
    @Sailor376also 17 днів тому +4

    Dan, I have done a lot of stone work,, mostly limestone (fairly soft and easy to direct flaw) I would recommend,, your hammer is too heavy. How hard you strike is more a product of the mass or strength of person, and/or the length of the handle, than the weight of the hammer. A too heavy hammer just saps your strength, gains you no additional. I would suggest you try a 2.5 pound for your wedges and chisel,, 3 pounds tops. A 2 pounder would work fine but might be a little light,, or the classic,, and it IS classic for reasons. A 3 pound hand jack,, the short stout handle. It is what a jack hammer(powered) is named after. My bet is a shorter handle, and or lighter hammer/longer handle, somewhere in there, is the right hammer for you or Dana. Get all the work done,, and much easier on you.

  • @excitedbox5705
    @excitedbox5705 16 днів тому +1

    You will get bigger cracks forming doing ONE tap per wedge EVERY time and sometimes even leaving some time for pressure to release and form the crack. Especially in brittle / fractured rock multiple hits in one spot over stress the rock locally and breaks off a bunch of small chunks. Also popping off chunks from a face is best done from multiple sides and depending on natural grain going in at an angle helps.
