Taxonomy of Stone Workers

[don dougan <dondougan@zzzzzzzz>]

Blimey;

For what it is worth, I think your original solution to 1st question is
ideal . . . leaving plenty of elbow-room (so-to-speak) in the categories
for all of us that can't be pinned-down to one method or product.  Though
I do not share a studio with anyone else, I also think the 2nd question
solution or the two pages with possibly overlapping information is also a
good solution.

I can't think of anything I'd change, but perhaps someone else will have
further suggestions.

Thanks for all your work.

Question #1:   ". . . is there any other practical classification of
stone workers? My guess is that there isn't. I know there are different
stone skills and trades (sculpture, architectural carving,
letter-cutting, etc), but many (perhaps most) stone workers are versatile
and don't have narrow specialisms."

Question #2:  "  . . . studios and small businesses with more than one
person.  Right now we have put them in two
categories
    http://aboutstone.org/vl/Ateliers_and_Studios/
    http://aboutstone.org/vl/Services/
but we don't know if that makes sense to stone insiders.
