Another video of my recent visit to the Asia stone factories

A primary 'wire' saw, and a portable one which is unusual! Simple piece of kit but very effective.

Not very common in the UK as slabs are normally shipped here in smaller pieces

A little video on my visit to Asia's stone factories today.

Imagine standing with your arms up all day in blistering heat, being careful the grinder doesn't dig into the stone..

Hats off to them, there's no way I could manage to do more than an hour... Very talented!

Shame there's not much PPE being used.

My last day here tomorrow, I'm going to go try and bring some samples home, if baggage allowance will allow

Please email any enquiries to [email protected] and I will pick up on my return.

A small snippet of Asia stone factories.

I did this video today riding round on motorcycle (using hands free) and it just doesn't show the size of the area. To put in perspective, and being careful not to exaggerate, I would guess it was the size of Standish, huge!

I'm back there tomorrow for some further enquiring.

Andrew will be covering the office on a Wednesday until my return
