I'll just use the dynamite, but I am impressed.

I like the ancient Egyptian method of wedging wood into a crack (snicker), then soaking it with water, causing the wood to expand, thus widening the crack and splitting the stone.

Now instead of one rock to split, now he's got two.

Every group has outliers and extremes.

Yep, the exception proves the rule. Saying "not all niggers" is the same as saying "most niggers"

that's why I just simply say "niggers"

Solid policy.

I call White people who act like niggers, niggers. Niggerism is a mentality

Reminded me of how they teach us that mt rushmore was carved with dynamite and it just occurred to me that it's probably not true

Dynamite is for getting the big shit out of the way. Dynamite is not for the intricate details.

too much common sense, go to reddit for reeducation

Details were done with air hammers.

They claim to have used dynamite for 90% of the work. At 90% you've got the cheekbones defined, a nose, the mouth, and somehow carved out eye sockets. With bombs. That's a fairy tale.

I bet 90% of David was beat loose with a big fucking hammer. More than 90% if he came out of a rectangular block of granite. The other 10% was intricate chisel work.

I've never heard 90%, but if you weighed all the material removed to complete Rushmore, 90% from dynamite seems potentially realistic.

Yeah, I specifically remember them showing me picture 4 though while I was in communist indoctrination camp as a child.

Wedge and "feathers". You can make very precise cuts if you know what you are doing. Dynamite would have left a bunch of pieces. Not sure why this guy felt he needed two but he got them.

Do you know if this was in the Himalayas?

Easier way these days is to get some expanding cement. Drill 1/2"x6-8" holes @ every 7-10" apart in a line with a rotohammer, fill with cement. Come back in 2-4 days and voila: rockin2

I learned about "cleaving" in high school geology class
