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?
@@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!
Hi there! This kind of content has been on my mind for a while. Its all about waiting for a good situation to film and trying to sort out my thoughts in my head on that subject.
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.
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.
@@rncharrison Thanks for the advice mate. It would really need to be bound together for this purpose though. I don't want any roots growing out of the wall.
Im curious do you ever have a lots of rocks left over? Do you have to over order cubic meters for a stone wall? If so what do you do with left over rock?
I worked with an old farmer many many years ago. It was a really hot summer and we were drystone walling in Holmfirth. He had a flat cap and overalls on. When asked why he didn’t go bare chested like everyone else he paused, looked into the distance and said “ paranoid ov wetha chanjin!” Followed by “Might unduu top button ore twoo”
Ancient wisdom is good to share. My only quibble clashes with the local tradition. I propose that the wall top should be paved with those same stones so as to serve as an elevated public pathway.
@@drystone-tv Seems like a bit of work, but they look quite sturdy. Do they hold up well against severe wind and falling tree limbs. I'm in a part of the US that gets plenty of hurricanes, and am considering putting one of these up.
Or take the audio out and replace it with voice-over narration. I recently watched a video by a woman who makes willow fences and structures. Instead of competing with the wind she just went about her work and added narration later. Brilliant ☺️
These boots are Buckler, they're OK but there are definitely better boots out there. Don't take any notice of your old man, just focus in what you're doing and results will come.
