8/ Pick and shovel work isn't rocket science ... but there is a bit of technique to it. Remember to slide your top hand down the pick as you swing. Don't bend over too far. Alternate sides and hands every 20 or so swings.

19/ Great book! Also, as I mentioned at
@based_con over the weekend: the title of that book was inspiration, via a bit of wordplay, for the title of my first novel.https://twitter.com/EricMertz_KC/status/1440424931372646403 …Show this thread -
20/ also, since we're point out how WoG doesn't know crap about crap: you can't use lime alone to hold stones together.

So, not a thing you'd have to sharpen while on the job but taking it back to the shop each night to do so after a day's labor with it will do the trick. Cool.

Another line would be to ask to see Gnon's stone chicken coup, since it's apparently a $20 weekend hobbyist project.
It's pretty, but it's a giant amount of work.
