Yes, and it is a substantial move. A varnish maker already covers 34% of what a stone driller is expected to do: 8 skills carry over, 6 of which the stone driller role treats as required.

8 required skills are missing, plus 15 optional ones. They fall into 5 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by handling and moving. The single most important is maneuver stone blocks.

Its learning distance is 62.9 out of 100, which is the substantial band. That accounts for both how much is missing and how specialised those skills are.
