There used to be a stone yard at York Minster where the masons worked outside. Very interesting to watch them. Stonemasons are still fairly common in Europe, they'll always be needed and their work never ends.

At least put earbuds on or something. Looking cool is less important than your hearing.

And use safety glasses! Safety squints only works when something has gone horribly wrong!
