In the early days here on steemit it was probably March 2018 I promised to couple of my steemit friends to show our stone quarries and make a post about how we mine stone here in the South of Russia. Well, the time has come. I decided to make this short video, while I was at our yellow-brown Tiger sandstone quarry last time to show everything from inside.
As you can see all the mining process is done by people's hands - manually, the technique is absolutely the same as thousands years before. Among the basic tools are hammers and wedges, so they put a wedge inside the mountain hit with hammer and slice the stone from the mountain. That's it! So easy to tell, so hard to mine. This is extremely hard work and I respect our workers for their hard labor. We basically have people from Uzbekistan and Ukraine working at our quarries. The most difficult part of this job is heavy weight of stones and extreme heat in summer. It's getting up to 50-55 degrees Celsius here in July, and people do work in such conditions to earn money and to provide winter for their families. We use machines for loading stone pallets to the truck. We deliver our stone, all over Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Turkey and Germany. We also manufacture natural stone tiles, burn stone, and make the edges of the stone rounded, but this all you will see in my next stone videos.
I want to say BIG HELLO to people who are constantly supporting me here on steemit and at DTUBE:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH for all your help and support!
If I missed someone, please excuse me. Just let me know in comments and I will put you in the above list.
Thank you for watching this video and wish you have an excellent day!!
