FFS... This stone still pull up a good fight.
Last cut was 1,3m long and 50 cm deep, now I'm just trying to break it up in more manageable pieces.

If removing with stone feathers or chisels.
You don't need to give them lots of welly.

Short hard taps.
Listen for the ring. Then repeat.

Too close to surrounding buildings to use without a full survey, and the rats has eaten my stock

It's amazing though how little is required to crush a rock of this size

Looks cold there, they do an expanding stuff that works okay if you can’t use explosives.

Just drill and tap it 1/2" BSP and put a hydraulic fitting on it.

Well yes that but there’s like a grout you pour in that expands.

Yeah, Hitachi Building Systems makes one of them.

I have used that a couple of times when I couldn't drill holes large enough for the wedges.

Works great but slow, is commonly known as "snail dynamite" here

managed to cobble together two masks, one fixed front 9002D and a flip front 9002X with adflo. happy days indeed. the 9002X has a damaged solar panel on the filter but still works so thats a win.

not me, me and knurling don’t get along, every time I try and do it it just comes out rough. That could be in part due to the J&S knurling tool or because I’ve never worked out the correct dia.

Tip when making something that I want to knurl from my sketches /drawings before turning down to size . I'll usually make a trial aluminium piece first to get the right diameter to be turned.. once I've got it right I write it down , keep it safe & handy as I found out the hard way you're head is not a reliable recorder .

Record the best workable diameter in a handy workshop diary /wall chart etc. .

Have you thought of using fingernail emery boards?

Diamond impregnated nail files are also very handy as you can clean then in meths etc. and reuse them many many times plus the plastic handle is useful to grip , they are on the likes of Amazon or eBay for around £6 for two styles .
