I used to transport templates to a location and then deliver the finished countertop to the customer on an A-frame. The sight of the marble in the racks, awaiting transformation, was truly captivating. The process, though challenging, is often overlooked by most, but the intricacies involved are beyond belief. Crafting these countertops requires an incredible amount of skill and effort, turning raw materials into exquisite pieces that grace homes.
I appreciate the insight on marble's limitations for countertops. It's essential for homeowners to consider factors like hardness and susceptibility to damage when investing in kitchen surfaces, where durability is paramount.
¡Qué fascinante proceso de extracción y transformación del mármol! Me encanta cómo el video detalla cada etapa, desde la extracción en las canteras hasta la meticulosa fabricación de las encimeras. ¡Una lección completa sobre este lujoso material!
I used to carry the templates to a place then carry the finished counter top back to the customer on an a frame. Lovely looking at the marble in the racks waiting to be used.very beautiful.
Yes. Best to leave it in the mountain where nobody can see it. Ever. Just another large hill. My problem is people chopping it into tiny knicknacks that get thrown away, like souvenirs, etc. This should be reserved for big projects like the Taj Mahal, The Duomo, the David, etc. My parents had a Connemara Marble ashtray. no clue where it is now. Dont care. What a waste.
@@riverstun Yet when you look at the way those slabs could not come off perfectly even in the mine I was thinking "there is going to be a lot of wastage". Many small pieces quite useless for grandiose projects. What SHOULD you do with those?
You know nothing. We do in fact appreciate what we live on. That's why we use it this way. The earth generates more of this stone than we ever use each year.
Look at the specialized equipment needed to get simple slabs. And yet for years we were expected to believe ancient civilizations constructed huge structures, statuary, delicate vases with sticks, stones and guys pulling blocks.
Interesting quarrying! Marble is a metamorphic calcite with a Mohs hardness of 3 and will etch easily, removing the polished surface and is not suited for countertops in my opinion. Granite with a hardness of 7 is a much better material that is bulletproof compared to marble.
As a kitchen and bath remodeler since the 80's, I agree Marble is a HORRIBLE counter material..It soaks up stains...Granite is far better...I remember when we were pretty limited to color selections back in the day...Now, it's almost TOO HARD to select the "just right" color...The African, Indian, and South American color selections are so beautiful and exotic!
One of the biggest mosque searched worldwide for the whitest marble and found it in China, indeed it's beautiful. I believe it's the second big mosque with the largest carpet.
There is a marble called shadow storm , we are calling it $h!t storm because its such a pefect material for countertops . I would not put that thing not even in my basement to put old uselles things on it .
As a realist artist I've always loved it. It's precious stuff, and not hard at all, it's crystalline, and can be damaged quite easily. Just beautiful to work with, unlike any other rock or stone. To this day it's still expensive, and so it should be. ❤
Excellent video, it is fascinating how these giant marble blocks work. I am a stonemason and I also rebuild old stone walls. I wish you much success. I subscribe to your channel. Greetings from Barcelona.

Fascinating insight into the marble mining process! The combination of natural formation and human ingenuity in creating these beautiful marble pieces is truly remarkable. It's intriguing to see how technology and manual labor come together in this intricate process. Great video, looking forward to more such informative content.
@@doric_historic yes and they usually got robbed fairly quickly after building the pyramid and putting the mummy in that’s why the emperors stopped building pyramids because they would always get robbed
Large-scale agriculture heavily relies on powerful and specialized machines for tasks such as planting, fertilizing, and harvesting, ensuring the efficiency needed to meet global food demands.
So let me get this right they are taking huge chunks out of the earth, leaving huge holes so folks can have counter tops. Humans are so full of genious .
I learned something new from this video.... marble slabs can have epoxy and fabric added to increase strength. This also allows better finish on exposed side as it becomes more dimensionally stable. Like putting a 'cast' on a broken bone.
Oh no, no, no... this uses MEGA epoxy (apparently). I've no idea what that is, but it was a surprise to me too. I'd have preferred a little science, but I'm guessing this isn't a channel for me.
The owners of those Quarries Need to make the Worlds Largest Marble Fountain with drinkable water! Im sure We'd all Travel to See and Drink from Such a Magnificent Wonder!
8:12 is not enhancing any appearance or smoothness since that mesh is underneath! Look 3 minutes further in the video and you will see that you will never see the mesh once is installed! Is 100% helps with cracks and other things… i agree with that!
Does Granite have a rap group? NO... But Onyx does " Slam, da duh duh, da duh duh. Let the boys be boys. Slam, da duh duh, da duh duh. Make noise b-boys"
In the beginning 0:15 there is an incredibly big, beautiful and luxurious bathroom, covered on marble. How would they fix the plumbing though, if something goes wrong? Do they detach the slabs on their entirety from the wall? Do they have to fix the pipes from the other side? Not always those same type of marble is available afterwards....
If you spend that much you use better plumbing that won't fail. Other side of the wall is the most common route if you do need to. None of the functioning pieces of the plumbing are behind the stone.
Usually, if the GC and plumbers who do the planning build out space to access on the other side. Most homes have access space. For example, a closet on the other side of a bathroom, or with really big bathrooms a crawl space like area. Etc depends on the home
As beautiful as marble is, it will absorb stains. Unlike granite that isn’t porous. For counter tops in kitchens I always advise granite, marble for bathrooms.
In manufacturing, marble gang saws are employed to slice large marble blocks into thin slabs. These multi-blade saws use water or other cooling agents to prevent overheating during the cutting process.
@@cyclnvancouver8060 yeah, yeah, so you’re THAT GUY! No machinery, hardly any cutting through the marble, and sanding it by hand for weeks(months). Slave labor, for sure.
@@tinadiggingindirtweinstein5648 When I was at Machhu Piccu, the guide explained that that was how the rock on site was quarried and shaped for building purposes. Perhaps they used slaves or just craftsmen. From what we were told, it was actually fairly easy to split the rock with water soaked wedges and temperature changes. I prefer using equipment of course, but you will notice that I was responding to someone who was asking how marble was cut 1000 years ago. I am pretty sure they did not have horizontal saws or forklifts or any other useful tools like we have.
What a marbleous piece
🤣😂🤣
we shouldn't take this for granite.

Take it for Granite👍 Paul cook👎😂🤣

good one ! :)
Just unbelievable amount of work that goes in there.

They don't. Then they call us as the builder to fix it.
Stones can be so dazzling , I lobe marble, concrete, everh kind of stones 😊
water is cooling the cutting "blades/ wires" its not for crack prevention, #1 enemy of any cutting tool drill bit etc is heat
Yep. Cool the blade, minimize dangerous dust, and less stone chipping/cracking.
Absolutely marbleous.
Lovely looking at the marble in the racks waiting to be used.very beautiful.

My favorite part of the process (although the start is the most interesting) was that sexy elegant single slope sink design they put together
My favorite is when the thumbnail has no presence anywhere in the video.
Yes! So infuriating and time wasting!
Amazing video

Try a small piece yourself, it's awesome to work with.😊
The end result was breathtaking. Makes me want to upgrade my kitchen.

very good marble cutting.
This is awesome..my favourite part is the cutting of the marble stones.....thanks for sharing.
Interesting read! I wonder about the environmental impact though. Could you elaborate on that aspect?
Unbeliemarble!
My favorite part was how just as he's talking about all the precautions they take to move the countertop the video showed them NOT doing that.
I was surprised how thin that countertop was. It almost had to have rebar embedded in the back.
@@jackietreehornit’s on purpose so it breaks and you gotta get a hole in your pocket
Large-scale agriculture heavily relies on powerful and specialized machines for tasks such as planting, fertilizing, and harvesting, ensuring the efficiency needed to meet global food demands.
This video made me think that how Taj Mahal one of the world's wonder was built 🧐. They did not had these cutting machines.
Good point
Getting so sick of these AI generated voice overs!
Its not AI
@@markredmond2014yes it is.
And then they can't even pronounce English properly, and I'm not even english😂

i think it was the backside of the slab they applied epoxy and most likely a nylon or polyester mesh.
but yeah 'mega epoxy' was weird one

Are the marble dust or fragments created by the cutting processes used for anything?

cutting mountains just for smoothening surroundings
Thanks to the earth.
Clever!.
بسیار جالب و آموزنده
Marbellous
I’m concerned about cutting stone like that without a respirator. Please protect your lungs from silicosis.
Those slabs with sinkholes are the most scariest to carry.
Wonderful.....
Beautiful, kindly do one on Granite
Does Granite have a rap group? NO... But Onyx does " Slam, da duh duh, da duh duh. Let the boys be boys. Slam, da duh duh, da duh duh. Make noise b-boys"
So that’s how our bathroom started out. Cool👍
wow wow .
❤❤
Very informative, thank you.
Nice work
❤Wow amazing
Marble forniture reminds me of a cemetery.
Water for saws is also to keep the marble dust down so workers dont breath it in.
very cool to watch

Good job, good lucky
Incredibly beautiful
Sooner such elements would over, provided these natural resources are kept extracted.
In the beginning 0:15 there is an incredibly big, beautiful and luxurious bathroom, covered on marble. How would they fix the plumbing though, if something goes wrong? Do they detach the slabs on their entirety from the wall? Do they have to fix the pipes from the other side? Not always those same type of marble is available afterwards....
If you spend that much you use better plumbing that won't fail.

Yup, they go through back side of the wall in another room…and like the other guy said also, you use extremely high quality plumbing fixtures…
As beautiful as marble is, it will absorb stains. Unlike granite that isn’t porous. For counter tops in kitchens I always advise granite, marble for bathrooms.
Cheaper grades of granite are porous and permeable.
It’s particularly good in a cake.

makes you wonder how the "ancient world" did it with copper chisels and stone hammers
water acts as a lubricant and cooling the cutter heads

None of those workers wearing airway protection :(

Зачем они режут огромные блоки а потом их ломают на удачу ? Можно ведь резать меньше блоки которые могут поднять их погрузчики и не ломать их роняя.
