Brilliant video Stewart. I have seen this process many times over in India and I still find it absolutely fascinating to watch. Slightly different in India as they use huge sledge hammers. Always amazed at the power and accuracy that the Indian Stone masons manage to generate when they are splitting the blocks with whopping great sledge hammers. I have had a go myself and just got laughed at by the Indian stone masons
