In this video I walk around the Stone Trust campus in Dummerston, VT. Most of the work featured in this video was done by Jared Flynn. I was in Dummerston to take a pre-certification walling workshop from the Stone Trust. The workshop replicated testing conditions for a DSWA certification, the instructors provided very useful feedback.

The slate sphere is a Torbin Larson project.

This was fascinating. I never thought I would be entertained by organized rocks! Keep up the good work. I'd love to see some obscure, rare stuff.

New England & England have similar natural landscapes & geologic history. Gather w/o the aid of modern machinery a lone man could spend a lifetime just building proper/safe walls or structural foundations. One thing for sure there is no lack materials. May your learning experience in England be rewarding.Thank you for sharing.

Those were beautiful stone walls. Thanks for showcasing! Can't imagine the math, patience and manual labor it takes to build any of those.

@LpoolDogLover Год назад

Thanks Alfred! I loved seeing all of the different ways stone walls look. Beautiful!!

Alfred, I learned something new today because of you. So many beautiful examples of stonewalling. I appreciate it. I do hope you feel better soon. This must have been filmed before the terrible fires in Canada. I hope you aren’t being smoked out and that you can breathe all right. I live in Sydney Australia and when we had the bushfires a few years ago as an asthmatic I found it difficult. Thank you. May you please take care and stay safe. Louisa. 👏👏👏❤❤❤🤩🤩🤩

Very interesting! Those walls are exceptional. Thanks for videoing it.

@johnaustin6649 Год назад

Being in the UK we just take these walls for granted. I have seen mason's repairing them and it is a black art as far as I could tell, not something I could accomplish.

@lynnkhosla6277 Год назад

💐✋💐 On the other side of my family's house , there was an old many storeys building made of rocks which was amazing , and I it was a little bit scary to me when I look at it at night , the owners lived there for a long time , then sadly , it was demolished to build a new hotel. I never knew how the owners lived in that old rocky house and if they liked it .

Thanks for the info! Dummerston is such a cool place for stonework! Scotland, England, Wales will be such an adventure for you…. Entire villages made from stone….all the different styles of construction…it’s a candy land for stone enthusiasts! Hope you had a good trip!

Я в восторге от всех ваших сооружений из сухого камня, на каждом из них хотелось надолго задержать мой восхищённый взор ! Я бы хотел построить что-либо подобное, у меня хватило бы терпения ! Но где взять столько гранита ? Ближайший от моего города карьер находится на расстоянии более 1500 км . Доставка автотранспортом будет золотая !

Hey Alfred, looking better, if you get a chance have a look at Beechworth jail and port Arthur jail in Australia and think about the work the prisoners put in to make their making to home, amazing stone work

Yes

@victoriafisher6934 Год назад

is it hard on the back?

@vladimirvladimirovich8081 10 месяцев назад

Alfred, мне хотелось бы увидеть поближе место для очага , если это будет возможно . На Британских островах есть подобное Вашему место с образцами сооружений из сухого камня . В их фильме уделено несколько минут для показа со всех сторон уютного места где можно посидеть у костра . К сожалению я не могу послать вам ссылку на британский фильм.

@zaug1561 Год назад

How sturdy are these walls? If you were to body check some of those smaller ones would they budge at all?

@vermontheritagegranitecomp2062 Год назад

You could probably make the little ones wiggle. I always nudge them before I step on them, I don't want to start a cascade of stone!

@victoriafisher6934 Год назад

do these walls stay? or do they take them apart? to go?

@vermontheritagegranitecomp2062 Год назад

The feature walls stay. There are training walls on site that are constantly being rebuilt

I do a lot of both, not sure if I could claim one or the other as my specialty

I wonder if it would be profitable for you to hire someone to work in the quarry to supply you with material for you to use on jobs. I can’t see you having time for both.
