    This is a very special talent indeed doing this type of work as I v personally have seen this down and it's very interesting to watch usually take about 1 to 2 hrs to do as I timed a person doing it from start to finish and have chated with the person as well as this is a rewarding business

    Why not do the whole operation in the shop? Then deliver the headstone.

    @edwardschneider6396 this headstone had been set many years before the younger generation decided to add it.

    My parents had a double headstone. Mama died first and it was carved. When daddy died the young man had to visit the cemetery to carve his side.

    Always wanted to know how it was done & updated on the spot....Correct me if I'm wrong. But I always thought these carvings were done by cnc machines or something like that. And that this process was an old way of doing it. After the old hammer & chisel of course...This was a great video though. Lots of respect for your work.

    So they have what's called a J Curtain now that is like a CNC machine, but they are expensive and are stationary. So, you would have to pick the stone up and take it to the shop to do any engraving.

    Very interesting to watch. I guess you have to be precise every time. Would be a disaster if you entered the words at a slant! or something else. Nice work.

    Yes, it is a bad deal if that ever happens. The worst thing is when the person asking you to engrave the stone gives you the wrong spelling or date.
