Watching this with my dad, who was a 50-year master mason before retiring. He enjoys your work.

Somewhere, a Medieval stone mason is looking down on this and smiling, knowing that his trade's legacy is being carried on and shared with the world.

Charlie, the heartfelt and creative marks that you inscribe on our ancient monuments will bear testimony to your talent for an eternity.  Thank you!

"A man who works with his hands is a labourer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist."

Good to see this craftsmanship is still being kept alive in Europe. I did a 4 year apprenticeship as an Organ builder. Everything was done by hand. Unfortunatly our main customer (the Catholic church) decided to go with cheaper options abroad...cheaper being nothing is really handmade by a craftsman and all done by machines. My company went broke and so did my job! Keep up the good work Charlie...bet your old mans proud

Respect man. I'm a web developer, so we've got undo buttons and backups. I couldn't imagine making any mistakes in your profession 😂

Takes me back. Joiner as 1st trade, but I was 1 of the last 2 scholarship placements in the UK. Stone, lead, glass and paints. Had to learn everything to fix Nation trust and world heritage buildings. 😊 so relaxing to watch. I hate retirement 😤

You can really see why it takes decades to build a cathedral. Respect

I am a mason of some time but haven’t been on the tools for over 30 years - this takes me back I can tell you. Well done - it will live with you forever even if like me you come off the tools. Great skill and obviously a great teacher in the background somewhere. 👏👏👏👏👏

I did my apprenticeship as a sheet metal worker in the 70's  I'm still working past my retirement . All my skills have been replaced with computer plasma, laser and water cutters. It warms my heart to see someone so young with such skill in a trade that still uses the same tools and procedures that are thousands of years old. Respect to Charlie and his trade

I've come to here from your YouTube shorts. Please make more long videos if you can. It would be great if you can show different stages of work, even may be how obtaining  the stock and doing rough cuts, installation of final product, etc

i just wanted to say that he almost finished 1 stone in a 13 minute TIMELAPSE. The york minster is made of 1.000.000 limestones. HUGE respect for those who build these cathedrals and for people like charlie who are repairing these massive buildings.

I have no idea how I came across your channel. But you make the world a more beautiful place.

Charlie, people will enjoy and revere your work for a very long time.

the attention to detail has to be on point, i love this work.

Where is part two? 😢 Man, you definitely should upload more of this amazing craftsmanship, i can watch it for hours.
I bet your channel will grow in no time, please keep up the great work!

Wonderful to see a craftsman at work. My late brother was a stone worker. He died several years ago and you made me think of him.
Wishing you all the best in your career—you will certainly go far.

Kid, keep doing this. I enjoy stone Mason videos. Especially hand carved with hammer and chisel. Believe it or not, asmr, scientifically speaking, can relieve physical pain. It's easy searchable. I'm in recovery from surgery, and the medication helps with the pain, but watching stone Mason videos and even wood carving are helping significantly.

i find it amazing how ppl back then could build flawless cathedral buildings, and even more impressive somtimes they would 'finsh' them in one year! ppl back then were simpley amazing.

Mate, we need more of this beautiful craftsmanship. I can watch this for hours and hours. Keep it up Charlie 👍 Cheers

The spirits of our ancestors watch over your proud, Brother.
