Pedreiros / Quarrier

Antes de que se mecanizase o traballo nas canteiras, os pedreiros arrincaban do monte os bloques de pedra que han traballar os canteiros. Co pico, os guillos e o martillón, e máis tarde con dinamita, fendían as penas en grosos bloques, que desprazaban sobre roletes para trasladalos logo en carros de bois.

Prior to the mechanization of work in the quarries, quarriers would extract the stone blocks quarrymen would work with. With picks, mallets and later with dynamite, they broke the rocks into thick stone blocks, which they moved with a sort of rollers and later with carts drawn by oxen.
