“When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.”
This is fucking mesmerizing. I’ve watched it at least 20 times. Some highlights:
Pretty guy with hammer
Repetitive stim with the satisfying “clink” noise
The way he just knows which chisel he has to go back to after hammering them all evenly
The perfectly straight and smooth surface after the break.
The quote exactly encapsulating my feelings on it.
