Derek and Dean share insider tips and practical advice on not only how to survive a trip to the quarry, but how to make it a successful and fruitful adventure. Exploring the vast corners of a quarry, they take viewers inside the yard areas regular visitors would never see — like cutting and polishing shops.

The centuries-old craft of timber framing goes prefab when a Michigan couple decides to build their dream home.
