How you determine when to use tracer/chisel or hammer ("Stone Buster") after initially scoring?
I don’t have a definite answer. It’s mostly personal preference. Sometimes it’s easier with a stone buster on a bigger stone when I feel the need hit a little bit harder, because it’s safer having some distance from your hand in case you miss and hit your hand. But you can split really big stones with a hand tracer to. My favorite is actually a hand tracer 👍
Я точно так же могу очень долго стучать
молотком, чтобы расколоть гранит !
Я пришёл к выводу , что немецкая сталь
из которой несколько лет назад было
изготовлено зубило фирмы
GROSS менее прочная, чем Советская
сталь 40х из которой вручную было
изготовлено моё зубило в прошлом
веке !

If I remember correctly, a German company bought a Swedish manufacturer of mason tools, they are named Rebit and are really high quality tools, expensive but they are worth it.
Gross бренд не немцев. Китай. Рашы бренд...

are the stones used to make foundations or walls
I’m collecting for both actually
Is that a small bucket of dirt or sand you're using? Just to raise it up higher?
Yes! It’s a bigger mortar bucket, in the bottom I drilled holes for drainage then added a layer of peppbles and leca then added sand. It’s easier to place the stone in sand and rotate and move it as you work.
@@workingstoned I reclaimed 2 dozen large granite stones from a home next door that was demolished years ago and the land had gone neglicated. Some had come by over the years to take a few, but I shamlessly went out there and dug up as much as I could, and used pulleys, ramps and crowbars to get them onto my property. I got what I think are just cold chisels, but they seem to do a decent job, maybe takes me 2-4 times as long to split a rock, but I'm looking to by a nice Hand Tracer.
It've found it surprising satifsying and calming at the least. And i've started to notice a lot of granite around my city (Halifax) and even found a few very large rounded stones on my parents property I plan to chop up when I get my new tool.
Love the channel. Keep it simple
Wow! Sounds amazing. The reason I like my carbide tools is it seems to have a greater impact on the stone, but my favorite tool is an old masons hammer, no carbide and works just as well as carbide tipped tools. But I would recommend investing in a hand tracer, you can break big stones with a tracer 👍
Have a look on eBay, you can find som nice bargains.
Thanks for your comments and question
Gorgeous work. Do you have any recommendations for chisels? You have earned a subscriber friend chachacha
Thank you very much 🙏
Are you looking for manufacturers or different types of chisels?
@@workingstoned I look for manufacturers, which brand would you recommend to me my friend?
@@n.gawlinski7338 If you are based in the US I would recommend “Throw & Holden” they do ship internally, but If you are Euro I would take a look at rockandtool.com Great customer support and great products. if you ever get a hand on “Rebit” tools buy them, great Swedish steel and carbide 👍
If u don't like a coworker, you can really aim chunks of stone flying of with that hand tracer if you want to XD
Well a Chipper or a Hand set would be better 😀 but I get the point. I’m surprised by how far a chip can travel. I’ve found them pretty far away.
don't be surprised if you get one in return ..
what do you do with the granite after its split?
I’m collecting stones for a few projects, mostly for a dry stone wall.
@@workingstoned ohh i hope you post it i would really love seeing video of a dry stone wall built. most on youtube are only 5 or 10 mins long & that is way too short to bother watching. hope to see them.
We’ll see if I film it 😀 Thanks for your question 🙏
