Power!

These two photos show progress that is very rapid compared to what I'm used to with just the hammer and chisel. The single photo shows the stone after one hour of work with a diamond-blade grinder and pneumatic hammer and tooth chisel. The double one shows two views of what I did today in two hours with just the pneumatic hammer and again, the tooth chisel. It's true that the finishing stages will be just as slow as before, but I'll sure be able to get to that point more quickly.
