Stonemasonry
Stonemasonry is an ancient art and skill, passed down through the generations right up to today. As those older generations retire, though, fewer and fewer skilled stonemasons exist out in the world. But what is stonemasonry? Simply put, it is the process of shaping and using stones along with mortar to construct walls, buildings, and more. Stonemasons use mallets, chisels, metal straight edges, and masonry trowels to shape stones and mortar into flat surfaces. Modern technology has obviously improved stonemason’s tools and procedures for constructing or rebuilding stone walls and structures. Still, the methods for stonemasonry remain mostly unchanged from the days it was used to build the Great Wall of China or the Pyramids at Giza.
