Making Paving Stones

A "top-worker" of the quarry. He is preparing with a hydraulic press the rough paving stones that a colleague will refine with hammer and chisel.

Both are working in a team together and produce several cubic meters of stones each day. They are paid by the quantity (they have to make a given quantity per day so the length of the day will change according to their speed). Usually their salaries are about 6'000Sfr.
