“You can’t work with stone. It must be respected.” <\/em><\/p>\n\n

That’s what my trainer told me on the first day. Ten years later, it’s become my mantra. Being a stonemason in 2025 is still a matter of passion. But today, it’s also a matter of caution<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

6:30 am – The workshop wakes up <\/h2>\n\n

Morning silence, the smell of coffee… and the familiar sound of the compressor. I open the workshop doors. There are limestone blocks on trestles, tools at the ready. What do I love about this job? Transformation. Taking a raw material and turning it into a lintel, a column, a work of art. <\/p>\n\n

But over the past few years, another subject has become part of our daily lives: dust<\/strong>. The kind we don’t always see, but which penetrates everywhere. In the air, in the lungs. And sometimes, in our health. <\/p>\n\n

9:00 – Dust is no longer a fatality <\/h2>\n\n
\n
\n

In the old days, we worked in gray clouds. The old-timers used to say, “Cough it up and it’ll pass”.<\/em> Today, I know it won’t pass. It stays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2025, we can no longer ignore the dangers of silicosis<\/strong>, the lung disease caused by silica inhalation. It has already taken the lives of some of our colleagues. So we’re careful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our workshop, we installed a dust collector coupled with an OberA air purifier<\/strong>. The first captures dust directly at source, as close as possible to the workstations. The second continuously filters the ambient air. The result: you breathe better, you work better<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since we’ve set up this system, it’s obvious. Less dust on the workbenches, less in the air… and less in our lungs. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

12:30 – Snack break and conversation <\/h2>\n\n

We talk work, we talk family. We also talk about safety. It may sound strange, but for us, it’s become a matter of pride. Working in a clean, well-equipped workshop also means respecting our craft and our bodies<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

It also attracts young people. We have two apprentices. They want to work with modern tools, in good conditions. They reject the dusty workshops of another era. And rightly so. <\/p>\n\n

15h00 – Preserving the gesture, without sacrificing health <\/h2>\n\n

There are still those who say “before, it was better”.<\/em> That may be so. But today, it’s safer<\/strong>. And that doesn’t change the beauty of the gesture. We continue to carve with the chisel, by hand, with the same care. Except that we breathe easier. <\/p>\n\n

Because in the end, a good tool doesn’t replace the craftsman… but it can protect<\/strong> him. <\/p>\n\n

6:00 pm – End of the day, pride intact <\/h2>\n\n

I put my tools away. I look at the piece I’ve fashioned. An archivolt for a listed church. There’s dust on my smock, but less in my lungs. And that changes everything. <\/p>\n\n

Passion and caution can coexist <\/h2>\n\n
\n
\n

To be a stonemason in 2025 is not to renounce tradition. It means enriching it. It means continuing to pass on ancestral know-how while relying on today’s solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its purifiers and dust collectors<\/strong>, OberA <\/strong>accompanies craftsmen into a healthier, more sustainable future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because preserving a profession also means preserving those who practice it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
