Internet is fucking great, I am from a town in Turkey, thinking about building a stone wall and watching an Irish stonemason's great advices. That's why I pay money to internet.

I bet you and I would be good buddies. I'm a retired Army bullet catcher from tiny mountain village in Pennsylvania, United States reading what some guy in Türkei wrote years ago. This is the good part of the internet. I'd love to know how your wall turned out and trade some information with a fellow amateur stone mason.

Absolutely brilliant, well done mate, total respect for all the dry stone wall builders, they are beautiful and a work of art. Was in Yorkshire this summer, struck me that it is probably expensive for land owners to repair , should be funded by tourist board and other bodies that benefit from the tourism brought to the picturesque landscape. Would allow proper financing for skilled stonemasons to do the job properly.
