Blasting and finishing work by worker at site on Mount Rushmore, as the face of Washington appears clearly on Mount Rushmore

Face of George Washington appears clearly on the mountain. Blasting near the emerging face followed by eruption of smoke and dust. Two workers are lowered down near the eyes and nose of George Washington's face to carry out finishing touch. Separate sculpture shown at end of clip appears to be a small scale model of what the completed Mount Rushmore work will look like (but it is not very much like the final work).
