Now tell me this is not a casting. I’m all ears 👂

Watching the video from Foti, you can easily understand how the "scoop marks" were created at the "Unfinished Obelisk" at Aswan and other locations. Create a brittle crust via fire/chemistry, "then" come in with pounding stones and remove the brittle layer:<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Whew, this has been one of the busiest weeks I’ve had in months!<br><br>We’ve been working hard. <a href="https://t.co/7gEOZ4rIJr">@TrevorHawkeHRG</a> stopped by on Tuesday—I already wrote about that—and then Jake <a href="https://t.co/siqvwZ5SqP">@MetaElenchus</a> came by on Thursday.

@FoMaHun @UnkleRucku11852 @TrevorHawkeHRG Don’t listen to him, he regularly lifts 2+ ton blocks of limestone. Much easier for him than making them

[Jake @MetaElenchus]

This limestone is so accurate, I don’t think a geologist alive could tell it apart by blind touch

[Marcell Fóti 🪨 @FoMaHun]

Whew, this has been one of the busiest weeks I’ve had in months!

We’ve been working hard. @TrevorHawkeHRG stopped by on Tuesday—I already wrote about that—and then Jake @MetaElenchus came by on Thursday. To Budapest, Hungary, yeah. A loooong way from home, respect 🫡

Thank you both for coming and for the chance to work together! Every time I collaborate with someone, I learn something new—usually not just one thing, but two, three, or even four. I love working with others; their experience always opens up new horizons!

Together with Jake, we mixed the following types of stones:

-an artificial rock made from desert sand (which, of course, is impossible!),

-another one from pine 🌲 wood ash

-an artificial limestone from wood ash lye,

“by popular demand”, we also made Egyptian blue pigment by etching the top of one of my granite boulders.

Who’s visiting me next? 🤣

Got stranded in the EU for another week when they pushed a flight back a week… and then opened that flight back up. Of course we had to pay for new tickets to get it…

POV: you're me. Your $940 round trip with Norse airlines was cancelled. After 14 days, you can't get a refund. The refund request page doesn't work. You need human help. Norse directs you to a chatbot. There's no phone #, and a gigantic fraud warning on the website 🧵1/3

@FoMaHun @TheProjectUnity Going to be in Budapest next week. Can you show me your rocks and how to make them?

[Jake @MetaElenchus]

@Balqahiddir @orc_mode The Folio Society Limited Edition of it is great but the price is a bit much on the secondary market

[Jake @MetaElenchus]

@Balqahiddir @orc_mode The Easton Press edition is pretty close

Okay, he's watching a movie with his wife.

Have her ask him questions about it that could be answered by simply watching.

I was about to ask what bank. There are a ton of good, smaller institutions, but it’s hard to find them. There is some account on here that does reviews of them for the purpose of buying, and it’s good to see some decent ones out there. What triggered the bank to do this to you in particular? Large account deposits or something?

[Jake @MetaElenchus]

You don’t hate them enough
