What is masonry?
The term "masonry" concerns construction with stone. There is a dispute over the root of the word, but all the candidates for the root are related to building with a stone, such as the Latin Maceria , which means "wall". The term can be used to describe the entire building or function of carved stone, such as the foundation stone or bench. Someone who practices the art of masonry is called Stoneemason or Mason, and the Masons' skills tend to control high prices, because working in stone is very complex. For example, one could say that "masonry in this building is quite distinctive," many old buildings were built exclusively from stone, because it was an easily accessible building material; For example, many medieval cathedrals have stunning examples of masonry. Although stones can be easily accumulated and anchored, most of the masonry is decorated with carvings to make it blood and functional. Many ancient stone buildings illustrate incredible performances of architectural engineering with arched arches that seem to stretch into heaven and beautifully decorateDoors, niches and niches. Because the stone is so heavy, the correct placement and design are essential, because the imbalance can download the entire structure down.
Carving in Stone is very demanding because the stone is such a hard and fragile material. The bricklayers must carefully inspect every piece of stone they work with to ensure that it is suitable for their needs, and Stone cannot be rushed. The next time you go through the woodcarving building, look closely and imagine that using a hammer and chisel carefully bring the carving out of the stone. At every stepumason, he is aware that the error will destroy the whole piece.

Many Masons in Training are experiencing immense frustration because their mistakes may be a big failureIn the project or in the work of art, but those who persist are rewarded for their work with abundant work and very appreciating customers.
