    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?

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.

    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.

    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

    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.
