Your welcome, thank you for watching 😀

its cool how the same principles apply for ends as does the wall face (keep it flat, interlock the layers, make sure some stones go further into the wall every other layer at least to get more friction with the heart and tie everything together)

Great skill, glad it's still around. If I could give some constructive criticism, maybe give your camera lens a wipe, the footage looks all soft focus like the lens is dirty.

Thank you for watching. You are most definitely right; the camera has had a hard life with all the stone dust. I am hoping to upgrade it as soon as I make enough money from my KZread videos.

If you were building a retaining wall about two meters high, how wide would you start at the base? And would you aim for a vertical back side and a 30° from vertical front side?

In Pakistan have to need of theses type of tallent for builting of foundation dry stone foundations

Lovely work, looks great. I want to build a pier, on its own for an iron gate to close into. There will be no wall running off it, just a pier on its own basically. I have old stone from a part of a knocked house that used to exist around 140 years ago. The Pier will need to be about 2m / 6ft high, maybe a bit less. Any tips for this type of build? I understand (from watching videos) it will need to be wider at the bottom. What size would the base want to be? I was thinking about 2ft by 2ft, would that be wide enough given the height? Have you any video showing something like this? Thanks and great work

Hi Sean, sorry, I don’t have any video to help you out, but from your message, I think you understand the process. I would really ensure that you join are tight on each stone, with each one touching the other flat, creating friction. And of course, the length of the stone into the wall, making sure each course is properly filled in the middle. Probably the biggest tip I could give you is don’t rush setting up your string lines; getting this job right will depend a lot on the preparation. I hope this helps you out.

Great videos . Big help! Wondering if you have advise on building on a slope re how to lay found stones. We've bought a house here in Ireland and id love to repair the fallen walls but they all run uphill! And advise much appreciated! Ben

Hi Ben, thank you for watching. When building a dry stone wall on a hill, the main thing to do is build your foundation into the bank, making sure they are all level. Start at the bottom of the hill, and as you begin building the wall, you can keep adding to the foundation. I hope this makes sense. If it helps, I can forward you some pictures of walls I have built for you to see.

So you'd nearly dig tiers up the bank? Makes sense, pictures would be great. I can give you my email if thatd be best

Great stuff man, excellent advice and no messing. How would this work for a mortared stone wall? I'm hoping t i build a small boiler house out of stone and am wondering how it would work

@TheStoneRanger

Hi Colm, thank you for watching. I would just go about it the same way but lay each stone on a bed of mortar. Try and keep the mortar off the stone face, then the next day using a wire brush remove any excess mortar. I hope this helps, I will do a video on this at some point but at the moment I couldn’t say when. 👍👍👍

It does definitely make you wonder. The quantity of the stonework done then was truly amazing but came at a devastating cost to life.

Do you not use mortar?

Hi, No this method of building a stone wall dates back to 3500 BCE and, when built properly, can really stand the test of time. Again, when built properly, it can be better than mortar in the right place.
