@@drystone-tvI’m very appreciative of your guidance, thank you so much. I live in Canada with five huge piles of smallish bluestone and wish I could get my hands on sandstone as well to put something amazing together. I’m a gal cub so smaller rock felt more doable. In 2008 when I arrived here I tucked into stone landscaping with huge rocks to help the wasbund and got a years worth of arm tendinitis fir my efforts! Anyway, no matter your nascent sound recording beginnings you all ROCK and I am never bored listening to your wisdom 🙏🏻⚒🙏🏻 Many ta’s.

Hi Dry Stone TV. This is super useful tips and tricks of the trade. Very happy you are sharing this so that walls can be done right! Was wondering, have you done a video yet on ‘’batter’’ and working out the width of the wall? / how it withstands pressure? It would be very helpful to get that stuff explained in detail as well. Salutations from Norway. Here we have a lot of traditional dry stone walls for foundations / base floor on houses, and stone bridges. Looking forward to more content from you guys!

@willnicholson7169 Жыл бұрын
Just found your channel. It’s really great. I’m confused by this rebuild though…It’s blindingly obvious that your repaired gap is better built, the rocks are laid more structurally and the gaps are much smaller. This should mean that you need more rock to finish the wall section. However, you’ve got a pile left over. Is this dry stone physics?

I've been taught not to use pins under the base stones. Dig the base stone in slightly instead. Also no pins should be visible in the outskide of the courses. Cobble pins should only be fill, never seen. I'm not saying the wall in the video won't last 100s of years. Im just talking technique. Good video!

I know this is probably a mortal sin for even asking, but if I wanted a more permanent structure should cement be used in any capacity at all? I have a big pile of sandstone gathered up and wanted to build a stone wall and some planter boxes out of it. If it were going to be dry wall I would be afraid that the same thing would happen with the new wall as what happened to the original wall. Literally it was destroyed by vines, thickets and hawthorn uprooting it.
@rncharrison Жыл бұрын
Depends how permanent you want? most of the dry stone walls you see out in the country side are well over 200 years old. Also these walls move with the conditions where as adding cement makes them prone to trapping water and freeze thaw. So if built well and you’re not planning on living for more than 200 years I think you’ll be good.
