I Went To Europe To Build A Stonewall
This is a video of my trip to England and Scotland in early September. I was privileged enough to attend the first annual Trad Craft Festival hosted by the Ellwood Branch of the DSWA, organized by 5th generation walling legends, siblings Bert and Lydia Noble. Find them on Instagram @noblestonework and on RUclips @drystone-tv
I hope that I can attend in 2024!

In this video I am preparing stones for a stone cabin build. These header stones will tie together the interior and exterior walls of the cabin. I demonstrate using a "hand set" from Trow and Holden to rock face or "pitch" sawn faces off of these stones. Stay tuned for more progress on this cabin build, it will be a neat project
Hand Splitting a Step From a Larger Granite Block
Просмотров 27 тыс.11 месяцев назад
A customer was looking for a 5' (1.5M) step, I needed to split one out of a larger block that I have had sitting on the landing for a while. This split went really well, the stone is off the mountain and the customer is happy. Watch my previous video on hand splitting granite for more details on the process. Thanks for watching, and let me know in the comments what type of content you would lik...

    I'm just throwing this out there... your a mason with lots of rock that you can cut and move with your own machinery..... why not build retaining walls where needed and infill with stone to widen and build up your access road to your quarry so your able to move higher and or bigger volume?

    Any tips for splitting granite stone that is mostly buried but protrudes above the surface? I find that the rock tends to break off in thin layers and the crack does not migrate downwards. I’m in VT as well, NEK.

    I loved it. I loved everything about it. I enjoy watching the stones being shaped and placed just right. It's truly fascinating thinking of how much has been built with stone. From farm walls to cathedrals, it truly is an art form.

    Don't be brainwashed by the system ideology that wants to enslave you into a monetary jail in which you'll only build your own walls. Nobody gets saved by works from which he gets paid for ; but only through grace. The system in which people are unconsciously kept in spiritual captivity is a fair ground ruled by carnies. It's an attractions park in which people are free willingly paying to get entertained and entertain themselves. The merry-go-around is never too attractive enough : It carries you and spins you around while playing loud music ; then drops you out all staggering at the same place you embarked. And time has gone taking away all your illusions...

    Sir, may I congratulate you on your ability to talk to the granite block, and in return, she talks to you in a manner which you can understand. Well done. and all the best in enjoying your wonderful work. I think it would be be wonderful to try and model the wavefront from those impulses you initiate in how they travel through the block to cause the stresses along the contour which you desire. Those impulses are not as innocent as they sound! Well done once again,

  • @martinwinlow
    @martinwinlow Месяц назад

    Can I ask why you do not lay the stone with the cutting plane horizontal and put the feathers and wedges on all 4 sides rather than just 3? And... how do you mask the drilled holes for the finished stone?

I'm gonna buy a set of 1/2 " feathers and wedges to start cutting granite at my homestead up here in the Serra da Mantiqueira, Brazil's southeast . Just two questions : How long does it take to drill each of this hole? Can I use a common vidia drill ? Thanks a lot 🎉
