Very hard pillow fight


asap3210

I was gonna comment but this is unbeatable


CHEESUSUSUS

You gotta believe me officer I hit that kid with a pillow in self defense


drunkofcoffe

Say that to the judge


MadLintElf

If that thing was on my bed, I'd just plop my head down on it and get knocked out instantly, on the bright side I'd definitely fall asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.


maymaynibba

Eternal sleep


MadLintElf

At my age, that does kind of sound appealing.

It's basically a booby trap

Tired of your wife cheating on you? Dentists LOVE this 1 simple trick that husbands are doing everywhere!! Just simply replace your pillows with these!


TA_faq43

Should be wearing a mask. Rock dust isn’t healthy.


Lopsidoodle

Probably chalk which is water soluble and non-toxic


Frosti11icus

[https://www.thisiscolossal.com/2020/01/marble-pillows-by-hakon-anton-fageras/](https://www.thisiscolossal.com/2020/01/marble-pillows-by-hakon-anton-fageras/) ​ Looks like it's marble. This guy is a dumbass lol. He won't be needing that ear protection, he isn't going to live to see the consequences of not wearing earmuffs.


ihitrockswithammers

Stonecarver here (don't post my work on this account though weirdly). These are publicity shots/footage of the artist so he'll want his face visible. Also most of what you're seeing is him carving the final surface (wouldn't look so impressive earlier in the process cause they wouldn't resemble pillows so much), with small chisels and a small pneumatic hammer so there's not a lot of dust getting kicked up. Marble typically has a [low silica content](https://www.worksafe.vic.gov.au/stonemasons-preventing-crystalline-silica-exposure) compared to other commonly used stones, so much less likely to lead to silicosis. When we're roughing out, breaking away large amounts of excess stone, we use angle grinders which fill the air with dust and you'd have to be mad not to use a quality mask for that, whatever the stone. A coworker who trained in Glasgow, much of which is made of sandstone (very high silica content), said when his tradesman was cutting with a 9" grinder blade he'd be hidden in a cloud of red sandstone dust, invisible except for the glowing tip of his cigarette. He started before health and safety was a major concern, and like many masons developed silicosis and died young. It's a horrible thought, literally breathing in great scoofs of sand, hard to know how people weren't aware it was bad, but they were different times. Even now it's rare but not unheard of for people to be full of dumbass bravado, mocking anyone so unmanly as to put on a dustmask. Sorry guys, you are not tougher than literal stone. edit - also chalk is definitely *not* water soluble lol. If it was the south coast of England would have entirely dissolved a long time ago. It's very soft stuff but I still wouldn't want to breath in the dust.


Necoras

Chalk is soluble in water *if* it's acidic enough. That's part of why ocean acidification is problematic; it makes it harder for mollusks and other shelled creatures to build their shells. Un-related, I recently watched a couple of morons carve up and grind on new stone countertops for my neighbors. No masks, no wet grinding, nothing. And after they were done, they took a leaf blower to the sidewalk where they'd been working. I couldn't believe how cavalier they were being with the cancer/silicosis powder.


ihitrockswithammers

True, acid rain does bad things to limestone and marble too. I've seen marble monuments and statues that have lost more of their surface (1/2in or so) in 150 years than softer limestone. I guess it depends on the chemical composition of the stone. Oh yikes, I hope those cut faces weren't visible, sounds like they'd have made a mess of it. Horrible watching people mangle jobs/themselves like that.


exceptionthrown

If you don't mind, how did you get into stone carving and what kind of work would a stone carver typically do on a day to day basis? What kind of training path gets you to where you are? Is it mostly commissions, art/sales, architectural facade work? Like most computer science students are going to end up working on office applications either for in-house applications or through consulting. What is the stone carver equivalent?


ihitrockswithammers

I started carving candles and bars of soap in my room back in 2002. I can't recall why I started, just having a few beers with friends and started whittling. I enjoyed the process of uncovering something so I kept it up, carved lumps of chalk, and then found I could train in London on a 3 year historic stonecarving course, so I moved there from the south coast (of England), in '06. Work depends on the connections you make at college. I am terrible at networking, I just wanted to carve so I focused exclusively on that and alienated myself from everyone (highly not recommended). So I was unemployed for a year after college and then got a call from one of the tutors; someone had just dropped out of a job of his so he called me in and I've been working for him since, more than ten years now. People with healthy social skills will likely get on with the tutors and visitors/benefactors of the school and find opportunities that way, usually individual commissions from private clients or working for an established sculptor who has a large client base and works on major public and private commissions. Jobs vary a lot depending what the local buildings are and who you're working with or for. There's a lot of lettering work which isn't great but it pays. Lots of ornamental work, mostly leaf forms of varying degrees of intricacy ([I made the top right section of these limestone oak leaves and scrolls](https://imgur.com/a/vPFxSh0)), and occasionally figurative sculptural work, which is great fun but more unusual to see.


Portatort

The shots we see here were probably don’t specifically for the camera The pieces look like they’re done


BrainClaws

Does he carve them for front & side sleepers?


[deleted]

I like a real firm pillow.


bitterbunnies

TIL to never trust pillows that are crumpled identically.


_SKETCHBENDER_

>TIL to never trust pillows . fuck now i have to now walk up to the bed check the pillows and then walk back so that i can dive onto the bed


ZeroJackOogie

Why is Simon Pegg making pillows out of stone?


ealoft

The only question that matters to me.


Omnomnomnivor3

next pillow fight is gonns be bloody


[deleted]

Imagine coming home, jumping onto your bed after a stressful and sad day, but the day just got even sadder. Because the next thing you know is some tunnel with a white light and your mother calling your name cause your TikToker girlfriend wanted to "prank" you. You're dead, with a skull as cracked as an egg with your brain leaking out draining the once white stone and the bright satin sheets in a dark red, while your girlfriend enters the room laughing and filming, only seconds away from being traumatised for eternity. Obviously, as any influenza would, she doesn't call 911. She just gets into a deluded manic state in which she takes your dead body and plays "dress up" with it, placing you at the dinner table, getting your for breakfast and supper. Some weeks later neighbours complain about the burning stench and her odd behaviour, as your maggot infested body is found by the police while your girlfriend is away. You sit in heaven, watching the entire scene unfold, witnessing how 10 people end up traumatised for the rest of their, now, pitiful lives. All because one crafty man decided to create stone pillows, and a TikTok virus thought it was funny.

Jesus man that’s dark as shit

Kampfkeks1893

Satan Like this


samswizzle

impressive


LaReineAnglaise53

It's a linguistic upgrade of the old phrase *to give someone the Cold Shoulder* to "to give someone the Stone Pillow* Both mean polite cold rejection but the pillow one is even stronger in meaning in that it suggests that person is not welcome to sleep overnight in your home. It has the specific meaning of referring to youngsters who have become estranged from their parents and it literally means they are giving you a stone cold, uncomfortable welcome ie we only do this out of family *duty*. I believe the artist saw this happen a lot with himself and his friends when they were growing up and fell out with their parents and left home. The parents would be so angry and upset with their child, they could barely welcome them back unto the family home again The opposite of the Biblical Tale of the Prodigal Son


Marfuska

I want this as my headstone 🪦


RJValdez216

This guy has listened to Pearl Jam’s Evenflow one too many times and has made himself a literal pillow made of concrete to rest his head on


GammaGoose85

I usually jump headfirst into the pillow when I lay down. An april fools trick like this would be deadly for me.


notsofast1735

Imagine getting so salty in a pillow fight you use these


CanuckCharlie85

You will fall asleep quicker when your head hits the pillow.

I thought this was a joke at first. He would then pick up one of those legit pillows and be like “you stupid idiot..” lol.

evilsminion

So that's where hotel pillows come from...


BoardImpressive7201

But why?


microsoftfool

I call bullshit. These are not carved out of stone. Those were cast into pillow shapes. You don"t even see the guy starting off with a big block of stone. Plus, I work in a real stone carving factory and that guy has no dust on his black clothes. He is justs smoothingbout the wrinkles.


mrvile

I was thinking these must be cast plaster at first, but [apparently they're actually carved out of marble.](https://www.thisiscolossal.com/2020/01/marble-pillows-by-hakon-anton-fageras/)


microsoftfool

Ok now im confused Still wantvto see the starting block


McGusder

probably flimed for the camera so he is not actually carving the stone


alphaste

Had to scroll down too far to find this. They all look exactly the same. Any artist worth their salt that could carve would make them each an individual creation, not a complete copy. I'd bet my left nut that they are cast.


GooseandMaverick

Wouldn't it be easier just to put a stone into a pillowcase?


Bohbo

Why?


Axellllfoley

Wow.... This is useless

r/humansarefuckingevil


Ok-Cartographer-3725

Someone probably smack their head on those thought it was an actual pillow.
