Sad, that in an age of trucks and jackhammers we can't accomplish the same feats as those with horses and chisels. I suppose when the trade started to vanish, the market for advanced stone-cutting machines went with it.

What kind of tools would a modern stone-worker use? Blacksmiths have pneumatic hammers, road crews have concrete saws and drill-bits, etc. Has this led to more favourable economics than in the past, or simply been drowned out by other rising costs?

The saddest example I know is how much of our old city hall (James St.) sits strewn about the King's Forest golf club.
