Kigalas 03/09/18 8:43:16 PM #19:	myghostisdead posted... So you do the actual stone cutting or do y'all order the stones and customize them? We get them shipped to us with the specified size and polished sides, then we add the artwork and lettering. How much of a pain in the ass is it to have to do the work in the cemetery When it is duel tombstone? I mean, don't y'all have to cart around a lot of equipment? When adding a final date, finding the one stone it goes onto is the worst part, especially if theres no location given. I had a pickup truck with a compressor, blaster, sand, steel shot, stencil, knives, paint, a drill, epoxy and a generator on it. As for setting them, we have a cart with a brake and a guy the size of a lineman who does a great job with his helper, but really its mostly leverage. His truck is 6 tons when its empty, with a wheelbarrow, shovels, cart, crowbars, sticks/boards, drill, generator, epoxy, and a crane. What's the most interesting tombstone you've done? We did a really big one a few years back with the names of all the people buried at the now defunct mental hospital. I've designed images for tombstones but the guys like you do the actual carving. I've never seen it done but I respect the work. Well thank you.

Kigalas 03/09/18 10:16:18 PM #22:	Zeus posted... Is it strenuous work? Is it mostly done by hand or do you have equipment that does the carving? Pushing rocks or hauling dirt in the wheelbarrow can get strenuous, but Im mostly doing the layout and design work nowadays. We do layouts by hand, and on a CAD system which Ive used since 2005. We just got a new computer system about a month ago which Im still learning the ropes on but Im getting better every day. Putting on dates in the cemetery was 95% done by hand, with the occasional computer layout. As far as blasting the stones, we have an automatic system that moves the nozzle left/right and up/down, but can be done manually, such as when people bring in metal pieces to have paint/rust removed.
