Stonecutter in a sentence as a noun

I almost posted the "parable of the stonecutter" too.

The parable of the stonecutters come to mind, are you cutting stone or are you building a cathedral? Find out what energises you.

Glass was known in the Hellenistic era, and the Romans were expert stonecutters. The principles of optics were known to the Ancient Greeks, and some guy could have made lenses and assembled them into a microscope.

This organization has stonecutters and carpenters that could help a lot redo what was destroyed last night, with the know-how of the past. So yes indeed, nothing is "lost", this is just another part of the cathedral's history.

I really like this Jacob Riis quote that the NBA Spurs have posted in the locker room: "When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before."
