Totally agree. I also have a training site here in Maryland. I feel it is so important to learn a craft or a trade in this day and age. Not to mention it just feels amazing to work out side. The Stone Trust in VT has such good folks sharing there love for stone with others.

Wow. I'm speechless. Such beautiful craftsmanship. If I was 20 rather than 64...

They are some beautiful walls. Incredible organization and people. I'm amazed.

Those walls look fantastic, wonderful in fact, thank you and best wishes from England.

Just found this & im blown away. Its awesome. I lay-down stone myself but not walls. Id kill to learn !!!

Lovely examples and skills, great initiative. Thanks

Such a GREAT organization! I'd love to see pointers on building a wall with more rounded stone, like in that wall behind you. Thanks!

That's a beautiful place. Writing from Pennine Yorkshire, where until recently every country lad could dress and build with stone.

Those nice granite longs are a real asset that most do not have for their wall building.

So true. In my region I'm able to buy sheet of bluestone which is what I mix into my walls for my through stone. If the construction requires them I base my stone choices on my availability of through stone. When you don't have any or shorter stones you can always do a staggered stone. If they don't exist at all with no possible availability I simply try to follow all the standard rules as much as possible. You're so correct if you don't have them for example a boulder wall. Your not going to find any to add or even work with this building matteral. The Hopewell Furnace wall project was like this. So you just made sure you had those lengths of the stone going in. At the Stone Trust training center as seen in this video this is why they added in the granite longs. This way they can have all the proper ingredients to help train folks on proper building methods.

great program.

Great stuff!! It's a shame it was so windy!

That wall at 5:15 is fantastic.

I want to dp this. So cool.

really nice rocks

where's the bridge? and arch? and pillars? Great work on the new pillar by the way! What do you still need there, round corner? permanent curve for advanced outside? just a thought but if you folks provided some accommodation perhaps a few of us could put together some of the last few things that need building.....

Buen día , capacitación , buen día

Please show details on using round and strange shapes stones. I fund so many walls with nice rectangular rocks and see walls with round and jagged rocks, but no one show details on how to fit them. My walls are working but look terrible.

That lens makes it looks like the stones are collapsing.

Great video. I'm a former drystone waller from Galloway - turned sculptor. Great to see the Galloway wall in the video. Did you have dykers from Galloway travel over to build it?

James I'm not sure carving sounds any easier then walling except you can work possibly in a controlled environment...lol Yes Nick Aitken from Scotland was over teaching at the Stone Trust. Great example of a style of walling not seen in the US. So many different walling styles. I've been wanted to do turf tops for caps for some time. Just have to find the right project. Thank you Mark

I think I'm to old and my back isn't in great shape anymore but that's one of the only things I don't know about yet.

Very impressive... what do you call the 3 levels... we here in Wales have standards such as :- Initial/ Intermediate/Mastercraftsman...

If you had scored a line with a grinder on field stone would the break have followed the score rather than the grain of the stone?

@RockinWalls

It really depends on the stone, a soft field stone, most likely no. A harder say sandstone or granite is possible. When in doubt, try it out. Just remember that the more time you spend modifying a stone, the less walling you get done.

I have endless rocks on my property but very few flat ones. Are you guys shaping them with hammers and chisels ?

@RockinWalls

Believe it or not in Vermont most of the round stones are granite. You can't really shape them. You just take the foot ball stones and follow all the rules best you can. Some stones can be shaped with a hammer and chisel. All depends on the desired out come. Its always best to work with the stone. Pick the wall style that matches and build. A hammer and chisel is a great way to loose valuable time building a wall.

Your camera dropped some acid, man. Then the wind drowned out the host. However, the walls look interesting and the skill you get when mastering must be fun to use.

Moi, I know what your saying. Work so hard just to take I apart and do it all over again. Best way to master your skills practice over and over with the same stone. Great opportunity to see how others use the same stones for the same build. The choices they make or don't. All part of learning. Thank you for your comment. Mark
