VIDEO: Excavator sculpting a pond makes for mesmerizing piece of art

Thank goodness there are operators out there confident enough in their skills to film what on the surface sounds like a mundane construction task. Otherwise we wouldn’t be able to watch true skill on display like you see in the video below.

The video offers a first person view of an excavator meticulously sculpting a small pond from raw earth. There’s just something extremely satisfying about watching those grains of soil being cut layer by layer, curling over the bucket’s edge. It really is one of the best video examples I’ve seen for illustrating how excavation is truly an art form. Check it out below.
