Happy Friday! #foodstr #pizzastr

For anyone curious.. this block is now around 800 lbs. maybe a bit less. We used a forklift to get it into my car, then I used an engine hoist to lift it up and out of the car. Then wheeled the hoist+stone into the studio where I positioned the block over a hydraulic cart before carefully lowering it. Then lifted the block again to reorient it vertically.

Working with larger blocks necessarily magnifies every aspect of the process. More stone to remove. More equipment to move the stone if I want to reorient it while carving. And this block is *only* 800 ish lbs. This is about the limit of what I can handle with my current studio setup. Any bigger and I would need a more heavy duty setup and/or to work out of a bigger studio. One day… nostr:note1zvwlfeuzc6axm7wpjxp4a5j398c8g2srphk766rq6je8dps9q2squtz2v6
