    Hey Mr Devine I absolutely love your work. I'm Scottish and have always been fascinated with stone work, growing up around dry-stane dykes and fantastic walls and towers. I would love to see a video of a proper walk round of one of your pieces while you tell its story. I've only ever built cairns out in the wild but you have inspired me to try and make something more.

      Awesome. I'd love to visit Scotland....for dry stane dykes, as well as henges, cathedrals and etc. And okay--I will. I have a couple spheres and similar cairn-like sculptures I'll be completing later this year--and this time, I'll make a proper video, walking around it, giving the full sight as well as talking about it.

    How did you get the stairs there in the first place?

      I used a modified gantry crane/engine hoist. There's a photo, second from the last photo on this page: www.devineescapes.com/how-to-move-large-stones-without-heavy-equipment/

    Don't put your hand in there. Use a stick. When your tired, you won't even see the crushed hand coming.

      I always want to encourage safety, and will edit the video, to reflect that. Thank you.

    So, what's that ball made of?

    • @DevineEscapes
      @DevineEscapes  Рік тому

      Bluestone. I carved it from a fragment that broke off a piece of flagstone.

    Hey I found this video really helpful! We build a steel cart for lifting big rocks with leverage. We are called Rhino Tool Systems if you'd like to see it in action.

    Нельзя вставлять руку под
    плиту, как в самом начале
    ролика . На заводах Форда
    есть только один плакат по
    технике безопасности на
    котором написано :
    “Бог создал человека, но
    не создал к нему запасных
    частей !”

      I put my hand under there--AFTER supporting the big stone with a sledge hammer, and a piece of lumber. Having studied gravity for some years now, no one will convince me that this video shows any unsafe practice.

    This is old technologies, nothing new here.

      True: I did not invent the pivot. This is just one example of how very (very) ancient technologies can be used to make stone work easier. More examples can be found on my website www.devineescapes.com/how-to-move-large-stones-without-heavy-equipment/

    One day the slab will crack, and you will regret using your hand to reach under for that ball.
    Better safe than sorry; find something else to snag the ball back. 🫠

      Imagine being afraid to stand underneath a lintel. What if it cracks!
      I'm not mad--just disappointed.
