Hi this is Carl the Landscape Guy. Today's video is about how to prepare natural sand stones to fit for a wall. Vangjel is showing us how he does it with simple tools and I hope this video will help you in case you are looking to build a natural stone wall. First of all make sure your Hammer is not too short so you don't hit your fingers. Getting your fingers crushed can be very painful and especially if you work all day and your arm gets tired you get hurt easier. Ok so now we have our first Stone here and we will shape it nicely. This stone has a nice face but we can not put it in the wall like this because he is not wide enough to sit in the wall deep enough. Since we must have at least 15 to 20 cm and at most 25 at a 50 cm wide wall. So we take the other side as the face. So now we have made a new face here. So turn it around now and see if it is straight enough. We'll take this hump out a bit and then this side is good. On the other side take this corner out and finished. We got two pieces out of this one. Now let's turn this one over. look how beautiful the stone is. the stone had a funny shape but now we have two matching stones that we can work with. that's what they look like now and their size fits very well with our wall. Now we take the small corners away carefully. so why do we have to be careful here now? well we can not just cut it off around the corners because then we end up with an egg shaped stone. That's why we are very careful. Turn the stone over. Break the corners away a bit and you're done. Now we have a beautiful stone. now the other one. the same. edit something here. and here again we have a beautiful stone. we do it here as well as on the other side. here we have to hit hard to break it all the way. ok next one is frozen to the ground a little. Of course that's the dull side right now. We have two pieces of it. We could use both sides as the face but we take this side because it is bigger. if we get rid of this corner here then the little one is there this page is bigger. we'll do that up here and have it sit stable while we work on it. ok we got another nice one for our wall. Ok this one is all set for now. The next bulky one. Oh no, that's not good, it must have had a bad crack. Sure we will be able to use this one and this one for smaller spots. this is bad. But this one we won't be able to use, at least not in the front. Maybe for filling in the back. Now this one here looks like it is no good but look. We need these thin stones too. We will make something out of it, watch! Here we go. Almost the same with this one but we will use it. But here we have to use a short side as the face because it is not wide enough to sit in the wall stable. Our wall will be 50 cm wide and we want the stones to sit in as deep as like 20 cm. Now we continue with this one here. It is a white one which does not fit that well with our wall. Since they have a really good shape we will use them on the back side. It's only the color that does not fit to the customers wall. You see, that's a nice stone, too. it has a good face and we can make a corner of it too. this side has a beautiful face and we will leave these like they are for now. This one is frozen to the ground again because it's so cold. Now to crack this one from this side is hard to do i have a feeling so we will use the other side. Both sides are in the air technically. That helps to break this one easier. It's also good even if it does not look like that. We will make three out of that one. Here we have one that we can not make a good face out of because this is very soft and it has many layers. It is possible, but only with a chisel and it will take very long. On this wall we have the option to use these type of stones in the back side because it will be invisible. This soft rock also has many layers and you can see clearly there is a long crack in it. One side is hard and the other side is very soft. So and what else do we have. This one to me seems like it will break weird. Therefore, it is best to always install such stones in the first bottom row below because they are stable and wide.

not too many natural stone wall tutorials on UA-cam. this one's a gem. thank you 👍🏼
I did exactly what you are doing today, but without watching your video first. Now that I watch it I know I was doing it right haha
nice. they really beat the crap out of the stones. more so than i would've thought to do. great sneak peek at the technique.
I love everything about this.
Thanks for uploading this! Gave me the confidence to try and use hammers and chisels on our sandstone here!
AWESOME!! thank you!
Thank you so much !
Thank you! I enjoy all of you videos
Thank you very much!
really helpful videos - thanks!
Great work
Thank you!
Really cool
في بلدي توجد مطرقه مسننه لتشذيب أضلاع الحجاره
يستعملها النحاتون بكلتا اليدين ويكون الطرق خفيف نسبيا للحصول على حجارة مكعبه أو مستطيله أو حتى دائريه وتستخدم على الحجارة الكلسيه والبازلتيه
من سوريه ❤🇸🇾 شكرا لكم ولجهودكم في نشر هذه المهنه
Excelent!
Very good.
Thank you for these valuable lessons
glad if it helps, thanks for watching
Amazing skills. I feel like I would work all day and still no usable shit would come out.
I have never laid sandstone yet but would like to try it some day
In the snow, no work gloves! Respect.
Liking the channel. Peace
you find that it's actually worse wearing gloves as after about five minutes they get soaking wet and they hold the cold water against your hand all day
La pietra è molto bella....🖐️🖐️
cracking job forgive the pun...high degree of skill with a sledge
Profesional
Feels bad when it’s that cold out and you wack your hand. Pretty rock
Man... I wish I lived in an area with sandstone everywhere... We have Basalt. Very hard... Taking a class soon, so I hope to be taught a way to dress them properly... Most retaining walls here are ugly jumbles of misshapen blobs... Do you have any advice on really hard stones like basalt or granite? Oh... And I love this guy... He explains his thinking in real time...
hey Ralph thanks for your comment, i have a video coming soon which will be about harder stones, until then this might help you : ua-cam.com/video/GQ9M0kh8pRk/v-deo.html
Great video stone guy. Is it grey stone?
Looks like dacite like from our black Butte in northern California
Nice gloves.🤣
What kind of stone is this, can/do i use this technique on New England Field stone?
Look how easily that sandstone breaks. Wish my granite did that.
i can barely watch these guys,simple stone to use,rookies at best.maybe cause i been doing it over 30yrs but nah,rookeis videos.
It's definitely quite soft stone even for sand stone. Sand and lime stone break nicely into layers though
Wish you could have shown the wall all these went into after shaping !
you will find that video on my channel, thank you
I would like to buy the smaller pieces that broke off from it. How much for ten pounds?
this type of stone is like butter, i have granite to deal with and no power tools: is a struggle to no end
im about to make a stone footing for a house extension. i wonder what mortar you will use?
This guy could have saved that Floyd guy in Sands Cave by himself.
Wish I had easily shaped sandstone around here, but all we have is heartbreaking hard granite!
Granite is so much better than sandstone.
@@jatwangismyname900 IF you have a way of shaping it, YES!
@@barnabyaprobert5159 Once you have the skills and tools, it's really great.
Esas piedras se rompen mejor que las que yo trabajo
In my opinion it would be better to use a chisel, that way you get less waste material. Unless you have rocks for free.
depends on the stone type, these guys know what they are doing
What kind of hammer is the small one?
Does anyone know what average rates guys like these would demand in America?
The real question is how did you get so many rectangularish stone to begin with?
the sandstone at my place formed in nice layers about 2 to 6 inches thick. i dig it out of the hillside and just trim it to fit into walls
Ok
Que ciudad esta
Do you have any pictures or footage of the finished wall? Would love to see how all of these pieces came together?

I keep chipping it and it's still too small?
*laughs in granite*
how would that rock respond in a hot,dry climate,..cold sandstone 'looks'less brittle than hot,sunbaked,African sandstone.
It would do well. This external stone that has cured in elements.

España
How much money do you make every day, in that job?
Yeah I have bastard sandstone. Bo chipping it, it just crumbles
