Hey I need some expert advice on cutting native mortar made from sandstone about 3ft to 4ft the thickness is appropriately 15 inches but my concern is the depth of the mortar holes I don't want to frac into the mortar hole which could be 9 inches depth how far should I stay away from the mortar holes

I love your vids, but that’s a rough wall man. No Length in all tracers, really bad for a retaining wall. Stone isn’t tight to the one next to it, gonna move when the soil shifts.good tips on the pinners, but length In is the way!
@ModernPracticalStonemason12 күн бұрын

Also mate what would you term as a tracer? Like I said it’s my first full dry stone wall so I wouldn’t mind a few pointers.
@dominickeogh905712 күн бұрын
@@ModernPracticalStonemason ah I didn’t realize it was your first dry stone wall, well done! A tracer is a stone that’s longer along the face than it is in depth. It’s always tempting to put a long stone along the face of the wall, but it will have very few points of contact with the stone under it, especially of it’s not a deep stone, so it will rock and move. The more contact between the stone, the more friction, and gravity and friction are the mortar in a dry stone wall. With a retaining wall it’s even more important to use the length of the stone into the wall to push against the soil and prevent movement. Well done, keep up the good work!
