raw material for the next project. Our county has a section in some of the cemeteries called "green burial", and part of that is a natural looking monument, so no polish or straight edges. So, I split and chisel out a random shaped piece and carve it.

another project done. Tried an experiment in pre casting and finishing a coping, then setting it in place. The steep hillside made it a challenge, but I added an extra granite weight chained to the forks so when I set the concrete coping (took that weight off the forks), I could back down the hill without flipping over backwards.
Suspended the load on a single point swivel, so it'd come down flat, no matter what angle the tractor was at in relation to the level pad, and so it could be turned to align it.

then, on to splitting granite for a tombstone.
It you really need/want it to split straight and flat, and it's thick enough (this is 7") you also drill holes from the sides, and pre crack/stress it with a 4 lb hammer and a hand-set, between the holes to create micro fractures.

it's nice when the family wants to really personalize a monument. This person loved fishing, and his dog. They asked me to do a rendition as possible of the dogs face from a photo of the dog.
