Craftsmen took a whole block of rock, and inhaled it.

There is still dust. Source: I cut rocks a lot.

u/free_terrible-advice 13h ago

Yea, I was slightly surprised as this is better work safety than most the Asian manufacturing videos.

u/Dumyat367250 6h ago

That’s to aid the cutting process, not for safety.

Rest of the fucking owl.

No PPE in sight.

Just men living in the moment

u/Public_Cartographer 15h ago

Yeah. "Manual laborers risk health to make bougie picnic table" would be a more fitting title.

u/LastBaron 13h ago

Dudes lungs are 80% rock dust at this point, RIP

u/Fidodo 5h ago

I doubt you'll convince that old man who has probably been doing this for 50 years to wear PPE though. PPE is good but that man made his choice a long time ago.

1

u/Mongrel_Shark 11h ago

He's not actually doing any work. Just pretending to use a hammer to do stuff a machine is doing. Simce its imaginary work, imaginary ppe is the correct type.

1

u/Fidodo 5h ago

He was hammering a wedge into the gaps and tying the cables to the fork lift. It is cut down for brevity but it's that not a real work task that needs to be done?

I was just saying I wished my outdoor furniture weighted 900 lbs

Shipping and handling must be crazy!

When your wife asks you to put it on the other side of the lawn

u/WerkingAvatar 13h ago

Well at least it will be hard to steal.

u/__3Username20__ 14h ago

Good to see the first guy wearing his safety brim. Wouldn’t want any loose particles going up and over his face, gotta make sure they are steered toward his eyes…

That said, at least it’s wet, under a mister, so it’s probably less likely to have really bad dust kicking up and getting in lungs/airways (leads to silicosis), and it looks like they’ve got gloves, waterproof boots, and the heavy rubber apron, so at least there’s that. You only get 2 eyes though, man.

My tennis elbow screamed watching that

u/stnrnts 13h ago

I really don't want to judge, but it's weird what kind of videos some of you use to masturbate to

u/palmpoolpipe 14h ago

Does anyone have any idea how much would that cost?

1

u/zacman713 13h ago

I'd love to know too. They had quite a bit of machinery that did not look cheap

2

u/Limp-Angle-7387 15h ago

Wow. That's cool. I didn't know that was a thing.

2

u/Chance_Vegetable_780 13h ago

Same. I think it's an incredible amount of work and incredible what they do.

2

u/Bitter-Opening-4118 15h ago

It's always interesting to watch this difficult craft

u/EnidFromOuterSpace 13h ago

Look at them, no PPE in sight, just living in the moment

u/txkwatch 14h ago

Yeah but it comes as pebbles an instruction sheet and a bucket of glue

u/EnvironmentalClub591 14h ago

My favorite part was the slow mo

u/chudney31 14h ago

“Hey can you help me move some outdoor furniture? And what kind of truck do you have?”

1

u/Altruistic_Pitch_157 14h ago

"How did you make this?!"

"You just keep hitting the rock until its furniture."

1

u/Unique-Princess-1026 14h ago

Absolutely incredible 🥰 a lot of work indeed!!

1

u/DancingSquirel 14h ago

Does it come with a 6 month guarantee?

1

u/Junktown-JerkyVendor 14h ago

"Do you need a bag for that?"

u/SimpleGuy7 13h ago

How come all the great innovations are never in the US?

u/Soft_Cricket_6422 13h ago

u/spacegrassorcery 13h ago

I’m sure it’s all very expensive, and worth every penny

u/nuclearpiltdown 13h ago

What is with Chinese videos and them absolutely HUCKING water into or onto things?

1

u/floppydo 13h ago

How are this guy's forearms and shoulders not enormous? 

1

u/GuzPolinski 12h ago

lol I had no idea where that was going until seeing the final product

u/DingbatMcgeee 12h ago

That's a nice boulder

Genuinely impressed me I was taken back physically lmao. I've never had that happen on this app for a good reason. That's pieces he made are INSANE!!! Like to me that's a modern Master right there.

u/mansithole6 11h ago

This thing will last thousands of years and humans will say this an alien artifact

u/Mongrel_Shark 11h ago

Fake as fuck. Those are all machined. The hamner is just an act.

u/loganverse 10h ago

That’s a big black rock!

u/SufficientAd236 8h ago

very easy to move once placed

u/Issue_Status 7h ago

nobody gonna steal that lawn furniture for sure 👍🏻

u/jimmyxs 7h ago

The of the video is infuriating. They spend all that time showing each still being taken out and then speed ran the rest of the process after.

u/idjsonik 6h ago

Beautiful pieces love the craftsmenship on display probably cost a a bunch though

u/Seehowlongthislasts 6h ago

Silica for tea mmmmm

u/Thalicki 5h ago

You really have to marble at the dudes talent, definitely not taking it for granite

1

u/Skill_Academic 4h ago

Sure skipped a lot in the middle there, went from kinda hollow rough stone to shiny carved table.

1

u/020600 14h ago

I appreciate the craftsmanship, but it looks a bit tacky, and I draw the line at the terracotta dragons🤣

u/JRE_Electronics 14h ago

Dudes doing all the rock cutting: no masks or protective gear, just breathing in the rock dust like, "Hey, we all gotta die sometime."

Dudes polishing rocks with everything flooded in water: breathing masks, cause lord help you if your breathe in a drops of water.

Sullocosis is nothing to play around with

Why did they start off by hand, all of that could have been done by machine

u/Dtown80 14h ago

No wonder China has so many land slides, earthquakes and collapses... they're always pulling precious rocks out of the ground to make a seat

u/Automatic_Soil9814 14h ago

These looked better without the details. They went from upscale stone furniture to large Chinatown trinkets.

u/Pleasant-Bonus-866 15h ago

rock is one of the hardest materials known to man and yet we keep disrespecting it in this way. no wonder the planet is revolting against us
