another project done. Tried an experiment in pre casting and finishing a coping, then setting it in place. The steep hillside made it a challenge, but I added an extra granite weight chained to the forks so when I set the concrete coping (took that weight off the forks), I could back down the hill without flipping over backwards.

It you really need/want it to split straight and flat, and it's thick enough (this is 7") you also drill holes from the sides, and pre crack/stress it with a 4 lb hammer and a hand-set, between the holes to create micro fractures.

another job in the Downieville cemetery. The stone went just past the highest set of concrete steps in the photo, I measured the angle and it's 30 degrees up, probably 150'.
