MISSION
The National Center for Preservation Technology and Training (NCPTT) helps preservationists find better tools, better materials, and better approaches to conserving buildings, landscapes, sites, and collections. It conducts research and testing in its own laboratories, provides cutting-edge training around the U.S., and supports research and training projects at universities and nonprofits. NCPTT pushes the envelope of current preservation practice by exploring advances in science and technology in other fields and applying them to issues in cultural resources management.

We maintain fountains for a local municipality and this was the first info we found on water chemistry for fountains.
Awesome video. Glad to have it for reference. Excellent instruction throughout.
Is there a rule of thumb to estimate the number and size or weight of dry stone required to come close to completing the project?
very good work.
Excellent! Thank You.
i can tell this guy knows what hes talking about because of his accent.
This is the definitive dry stone wall you tube video, i dont think it can be beaten. #1
Awsome😊
Thank you for sharing this information. I have worked several cemeteries without this knowledge. I will apply all that you have given us in the presentation. I am also sharing with 2 groups that I belong to so that we can have the correct knowledge. Thank you again.
Exactly what I was looking for❤
This instructor hasnt a clue 😂😂
Slaves in Kentucky made most of these stone walls originally. White stonemasons from Europe gave the instruction.
I noticed that you did not anchor the pins with something like a 50 minute epoxy. What good are the pins if they are not anchored?
This video is great. I have seen the Watts Tower, in Los Angeles. Very cool. I took pictures of it, before realizing what it was, but I knew it mattered.
Beautiful work and wonderfully educational. I cant wait to try to build some of my own walls!
Mesmerized by this informative share
wow amazing video, just wanted to know if this can be done using round river stones, any videos on that type?
Exactly what I was looking for. This has literally taught me the foundation / building blocks to venture into my yard and attempt my own wall. Thank you!!
Outstanding quality educational video, so well done, thank you!
this method kinda traditional in our current era there is nothing percuiliar about the method its far beyond the inca wall
5 to8 coats! Wow... No salt?
No salt needed, unless you add pigments. Really only need 2-3 coats.
I Love the people that did all that work for us to enjoy. Thank you.
fantastic teaching. If I just could shape my granite rocks more easily.! hand tools can t do it fast enough and machine/drills I don t want to use. I am stuck
Great job guy's.
I remember seeing a picture of a flood where the upper falls held a tree and the water spilled over it onto the first floor deck
basically took 1 man one day of work for every foot of wall... this is why we don't build them anymore
That is a real art. It makes a beautiful wall. It harkens back to ancient knowledge.
Porque no lleva sal.? Gracias desde México
Thank you, Mr Tufnell
Video Starts at Mark 1:50
whenever i came across these walls i wandered how did they make those, who and for what purpose, and they still stand. thank you this good instructions
This is still one of the greatest treasures of the internet.
I always take the time to stop and admire dry stacking, I've once seen a dry stack foundation in a friend's house, absolutely incredible.
So started watching this to see how to build a dry laid stone wall to mimick those around my area.... Then said waaaaait a tick, that looks like the Fitsburg furnace.... Yup, in Kentucky looking how to build a Kentucky stone wall, and stumble on a video about Kentucky some walls by accident. I'm in the right spot.
very thoughtful presentation. thank you! i was under the impression he lived at 851 webster, but 849 is mentioned. one of the receipts from his corner drug store, where he reproduced his girl cartoons, shows the address as 851.
I have always loved working with stones and building things with them. My ‘altar’ has many little stones from different parts of the world, a way to immediately connect with those parts of the world. This video was brilliant in its step by step clarity and thoroughness! Thank you to all who helped bing it forth to the world!! I have posted it on my fb page too now.

This is a walk round the national stone centre in the UK
Who built it first, why did they build it, where did they collect the stones, how did they bring them there? I guess this video leaves a lot of questions. But it provides a lot of seriously proofed nonsense
Makes me wish I had watched this before we had a small drystone wall built on our suburban block around 10 years ago. The builder was an experienced stonemason with UK and Australian experience but perhaps the spalls he was supplied and other constraints resulted in some issues with the wall identified in the video as risks associated with certain practices. At least I now know why things have moved & how to correct them. Great video
best lecture I have ever listened to
It's lovely work but seems awfully slow to construct. How much wall would a pair of experienced guys build in a week..including demolition of existing wall...approx
Brilliant
This is cool ,I've always wanted to know this process,and never ever dreamed of asking KZread,I live in central Indiana and there are many of these in need of repair

Gen Z, pretending to do this in Minecraft..
This may be a 10 yr old video but the process is timeless. The satisfaction and pride that would go along with accomplishing something like the work done in this episode is immeasurable.The rocks - $0.00, the end result - $ priceless. Goodonya boys. The closest I can get to this style of wall building is using demo'ed concrete flat-work. In my area there is a jr college campus built on fairly steep slopping terrain. A local landscaper/artist that designed and built all of the minor retention walls and incidental dividers using varying thicknesses of demolished concrete. Even though most of it is in the form of retaining walls, the end result is very similar in principle to the rock walls in this video and looks amazing.
From the in tro, about Scottish and Irish stone builders who are "long dead"... we must add, and 'people got lazy', and the agrarian society lost people to the industrial age and the need or opportunity for better paying (if only barely) jobs. Let us hope this video helps rekindle interest to at least preserve the art and craft.
Where do you get all the stones to start with?
Does anyone have advice for adapting this to walls for a building?
Watched the whole thing, what a beautiful effort.
