To a much lesser degree, I've done stone work like this at a rock quarry. It's tough work and can be hell on your wrists (the constant pounding of the chisel), but it's fulfilling to create something new with your hands and effort.
This guy is really talented, even to be able to make those chisel hits at a horizontal angle. You usually want to always make vertical downward strikes, as gravity assists the strike, and it's much more difficult to maintain the correct angle of the chisel and hammer strike when doing it horizontally. Even a minor change in angle for the chisel or hammer strike can drastically alter what and how much material is removed, often ruining a piece if the angle is off, as you end up removing too much material, digging into the stone because the angle was too severe.

What other race does this? None. NONE.
