Shaping stone with hammer and chisel
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:19:37+00:00It’s all in the details.
Take a look at the chisel held in master mason, Dan Smith’s, hand… you can barely see it from the vibration after being struck with a stone hammer.
Dan is here shaping the tapered course of a soon to be built solid stone chimney.
Nice stone isn’t it?

Stone kitchen
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:18:09+00:00The new kitchen addition instantly became the main point of entry into the home.
It’s so small, this little area… but yet, so inviting.
My aim was to create a “stone dairy” feel with this addition. I think I came close, and as a bonus, without trying, I achieved a space that would easily fit into the Shire. I can see a Hobbit being comfortable here.
Notice that the cabin’s owner elected to replace his roof with copper… even with his limited budget the long term savings and zero maintenance of copper proved too irresistible.
