  • Short Notice to Quarrying Sector
    DRAFT REPORT STATE-OF-THE-ART: ORNAMENTAL STONE QUARRYING IN EUROPE Nicos Arvantides Tom Heldal 1 OSNET quarrying sector Nicos Arvantides Institute of Geology and Mineral exploration (IGME) 1. Fragon str. 54626 Thessaloniki Greece [email protected] Tom Heldal Geological Survey of Norway (NGU) N-7491 Trondheim Norway [email protected] Preface This report is an attempt to summarize some characteristics of the ornamental stone quarrying industry throughout Europe and underline some challenges that this sector is facing. Furthermore, it seeks to highlight some of the most important innovative technologies and methods contributing to improve the viability and sustainability of ornamental stone quarrying. In addition to quarrying itself, the report also deals with other important aspects directly relevant to quarrying – such as exploration, some environmental issues, management of deposits and handling and use of waste rock. For other aspects related to the ornamental stone production, including environmental, the work by the other sectors within OSNET is recommended. These are: Processing, Stone characterization, Tools and equipment, Risk assessment, safety and environment and Technology transfer. Ornamental stone quarrying in Europe is characterized by a great variation in traditions, extraction methods and, not at least, rock types. To give a complete picture of everything happening within the sector would demand far more pages and time than available, but we hope that we have not forgotten too much. The members of the OSNET quarrying sector come from Greece, Italy, Portugal, Sweden, Finland and Norway. Clearly, the report will be "coloured" by examples and case studies from these countries, but we hope – and believe - they have a more general validity.

  • Revised Dating for Plug & Feather Method and Flat Wedge Method By
    Revised Dating for Plug & Feather Method and Flat Wedge Method By James Gage & Mary Gage © 2015 Revised 8/21/2015 At a Glance Flat Wedge Method – Developed in the late 1790s in the Danvers/Lynnfield area of Massachusetts, introduced into the Quincy quarries in 1803, and rapidly spread from there. Earliest dated example is 1800. Commercial Plug & Feather Method – New dating 1818 to present. Earliest dated examples are from 1818 (MA) and 1823 (CT, MA, & NH) Detailed Discussion Researchers have relied upon Shaw’s 1859 speech (see page 36 in “The Art of Splitting Stone”) for the early history of the commercial plug & feather method and particularly dating its introduction into the Quincy quarries to circa 1803. Over the years questions have occasionally been raised over the reliability of this source. The lack of pre-1818 examples of the plug & feather method has been very puzzling. New research in the past two years has shed new light on the details of the Shaw speech. Shaw retold in detail the story given to him by Lt. Governor Robbins. Robbins was directly involved in the efforts to build a new state prison in Charlestown, MA. In 1803, Robbins discovered a new more efficient and cost effective method of splitting stone while traveling through Salem, MA. Up to that point, splitting stones into blocks suitable for buildings had been a slow, labor intensive and costly process. The split stone Robbins saw in the foundation was supplied by a Mr. Galusha who purchased it from a stone splitter named Mr. Tarbox. Robbins talked with Tarbox who explained how the splitting method worked.

  • Washington Geology, V, 21, No. 4, December 1993
    WASHINGTON GEOLOGY Washington Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geology and Earth Resources Vol. 21, No. 4, December 1993 Hercules No. 1 quarry in Tenino sandstone at Lemon Hill in Tenino (ca. 1908), operated by the Hercules Sandstone Co. A coal- or wood-fired, steam-driven, double channeler under 200 pounds of steam is cutting blocks. The channeler moved 40 feet each half hour and cut a groove 2 inches deep on each pass; it took many passes to cut the 52-inch depth of these blocks. A set of three tempered steel bits was located on each side of the channeler; two bits were arranged with blades perpendicular to the channel length, and the center bit was set at 45 degrees to the other bits. Bits used to make the first cut in the channels were 2.5 inches wide, but were progressively changed and were 1 inch wide for the deepest part of the groove. A man walked on each side of this machine, using a long-handled spoon to remove stone chips from the grooves. The machine ran 24 hours a day. A derrick moved the channeler to new positions. Water for the boiler was brought up in barrels. Hoses on the left are for steam drills run by power from the channeler. Men on the right in this photo are using wedges to split off parts of the outermost block. Blocks were also split off at the base with wedges. The comer of the "platform" has broken at a joint.

  • Report on the Hall-Dyer House 25 Great Hill Road Tamworth, New Hampshire
    ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY HISTORIC PRESERVATION JAMES L. GARVIN FARRINGTON HOUSE 30 South Main Street · Building 1, Suite 201 · Concord, New Hampshire, 03301 [email protected] http://www.james-garvin.com REPORT ON THE HALL-DYER HOUSE 25 GREAT HILL ROAD TAMWORTH, NEW HAMPSHIRE JAMES L. G ARVIN OCTOBER 1, 2012 This report derives from an examination of the Hall-Dyer House on September 27, 2012. The purpose of the report is to identify the character-defining features of the dwelling as a means of ensuring the protection and preservation of those features as the Tamworth Historical Society rehabilitates the house for its headquarters. Hall-Dyer House, Tamworth, New Hampshire: Front (south) and East Elevations In order to identify the character-defining features of any building, the history and evolution of the structure must be understood. This report therefore devotes some effort toward a diagnostic description of the features of the building that help to establish its date of construction and degree of architectural integrity. 2 An understanding of the original character of the house and of the character of later changes should allow original features, and significant later features, to be respected as plans develop for conversion of the building to a structure that welcomes the visiting public and provides resources for storing and researching the collections of the Tamworth Historical Society. Most available grants for historic preservation require that significant features be carefully preserved in order to retain the integrity and historical value of a structure. Such an understanding should also aid in determining the eligibility of the house for listing in the New Hampshire State Register of Historic Places and/or the National Register of Historic Places.

  • A History of the Paul B. Follansbee Rockery (A/K/A “Turtle Mound”), Andover, Massachusetts by James Gage © 2019
    A History of the Paul B. Follansbee Rockery (a/k/a “Turtle Mound”), Andover, Massachusetts By James Gage © 2019 Introduction The “Turtle Mound” in Andover, Massachusetts is an irregularly shaped stone mound. (see Map) It is composed of glacial field boulders piled up in a seemly haphazard manner. The size of the boulders ranges from a few hundred pounds to well over a ton in weight. A number of the boulders have drill marks from steel tools indicating they were either blasted apart or split using the plug and feather method of quarrying. Smaller stones were used as fill to level the top of the mound. The space between the boulders was filled with soil. Integrated into the mound are two stone roofed grottos (i.e. chambers), a fifteen foot long tunnel, stone steps leading to the top, standing stones, and other features. It is located about 850 feet southwest of Haggetts Pond. It has maximum dimensions of 106 feet long by 61 feet wide by 7 feet high. It was formerly located on the grounds of the 19 th century nursey and estate of Paul B. Follansbee. Today, it is tucked into the middle of a suburban neighborhood. In 2015, the Andover Village Improvement Society (A.V.I.S.), a non-profit land trust, acquired the site. It is now open to the public. It is located between #5 and #7 Lakeside Circle. A paved parking area can accommodate two cars and a crushed stone path leads to the site. The historic Follansbee’s house (private residence) is located at 459 Lowell Street and is about 450 feet south of the mound.
