People who know their Spirit ============================ usually develop very mellow voices! ============================ I have built short sections of stone-faced hedges, and placed granite setts in earth as paths and roads, so I agree absolutely - it is a form of meditation. It is as if the stone itself tells you where it should be. /
As a man some would describe as an English itinerant well versed in the acts and arts of the scribe even to the extent of giving advice on the commendable practice of moulding ones intents in regard to the written verbatim as opposed to that to which our Lord almighty is disposed. Such as preamble can amount to being placed within easy reach for another occasion it suffices to state of ones memories of the wall. To which dear reader i am referring in part to that wall which those youths reluctant to join the armed forces or another goodly apprenticeship were placed instead too repair and generally maintain a lengthy part of the countryside. I write as one safely ensconsed within the city walls of fair Jerusalem may it remain prosperous in your lifetime.
Sag mal Fettarsch von Kraft heult da deine Alpaca wenn ich ihn so mit Fettbashing und den Weight Watchers dransaliere? Oder liest er-sie-es dann lieber in den Eugenics und Transenhumanismus Machwerken von seiner Freundin Petra Thiel und dessem geistigem Ziehvater Mengele?
My wife and I recall many happy days in West Yorkshire with our British friends. And those memories are filled with the Big Sky Country-look of the open Dales and their walls. All so very familiar as we are life-long rural New Englanders with our own historical tradition of dry stone walling and grand rolling hills & meadows. We have our walking trails, too, but there's not yet as good a pint at the end of a day's wanderings than found in the Dales.
🟤⚪️⬛️🟠⬜️🟡🟫🔴🟧⚫️◻️🟨 I love Yorkshire and I love building with stone, though I am very much a beginner. There is something so satisfying when you can fit stones snugly together in a pattern or a wall or whatever you are working on. Stones are so varied and are so beautiful to me.
takes me a day to put up a mile of chainlink fence, then I can take off the rest of the year to meditate and do other shit like thinking about why they need 1000 of miles of stone fences when no one is herding sheep anymore
We call it drystacking in Colorado. The red slate we have is not as workable as the stone these guys are working with but the Colorado buff stone is. Anyway, the video was educational ans well as entertaining -- thanx.
Coupled with the Dyson farms RU-vid you can imagine the combination of high robotic farming replacing hundreds of small farms with craftwork of the wall construction which requires many many craftsmen to build the walls suggesting a way humans continue on the land, hard however to imagine how the economics of these two conflicting threads can meet ......(as a lfarmer on a smaller scale in Texas I recognize the issue.......we use the technics seen in the Dyson film at scale (2000 acres which is a small operation ) with essentially no individuals handling or living on our land........the teams of planters, irrigation, etc handle many thousands of acres in addition to mine, and the equipment of course also handles many thousands of acres, spreading the expense of owing the equipment....
You would be a good person to ask... What do you think of the ancient stonework in Peru at Saksaywaman? The stones fit together like molded clay and some weigh tons! Does it also baffle you? Any theories on how primitive man could have accomplished this using such primitive tools? What you do is amazing. You can look at walls that you have built and appreciate it because a person understands how it was done. However the walls in Peru don't make sense.
In New York State, Connecticut and Massachusetts there are miles and miles of dry stone walls also. Old farmland that has now been overgrown by forests. It’s hard to see but in fall once the leaves are off the trees as you drive around if you look into the woods you can start to see the lines.
Sue, that looks like a lovely drop of beer, well done, and it's great to see you doing what you love. The old saying "keep it small, keep it sweet" is spot on in your case. Best wishes to you from Suffolk, and thank you.
As an American traveling through Ireland, Scotland and the UK, I’ve always been fascinated by these walls found everywhere in the countryside. They do indeed have character. The precision involved is obvious. That why I was curious about this video. It makes sense one needs formal training to do this properly. Not just stack a pile of rocks. Great presentation. Thank you.
If anyone should care to research the topic they will find the Inclosure Act of 1773 passed by the British Parliament of the day, allowed the construction of many thousands of miles of dry stone walls, restricted "common" access and ultimately led to private ownership of land .. _The Inclosure Act 1773 was an Act of the Parliament of the Kingdom of Great Britain, passed during the reign of George III, it is still in force in the United Kingdom. It created a law that enabled enclosure of land, at the same time removing the right of commoners' access. Wiki._ Hitherto there was no "private property," anyone at all could graze their herds wherever they liked on the "common" .. the act put an end to that, as well it allowed the new "owners" to put lethal man traps wherever they liked, while the quarries established to provide the stones are equally hostile to the environment.
This is a long shot, but I have searched & failed before. I am looking for a TV broadcast clip, possibly Sky, I think from a news channel, from when I was a child, featuring my late father building a stone wall allongside the Harbourne River in Tuckenhay (Devon). I'm 31 now, & I think it was from before I was 16ish, so prior to 2009 (that sounds late to me though as I think my grandma recorded it on VHS at the time), so more likely to be early 2000s. Anyone with any ideas, let me know, Cheers.
one important point in building any thing dry stone wall you see and chose apiece of stone you place it where it wants to sit on 3 points. choose it use or be there all day picking one that fits, and use the infill chips to fill the gaps not to carry the stone. ray 79
