How to build a stone wall with Round Stone

This video is a bit of a tutorial about walling round shapey stone - outlining the similarities and differences between that and flat bedded stone.

Enjoying the rain must be a prerequisite for stone walling. It's funny how it was pouring rain while everyone was working but cleared up once the wall was finished. I seem to recall rain being present in a large percentage of your videos. Keep posting more videos of your work.

Have found these videos really informative and of great help. I’m building a garden wall with field stone. Can’t wait to get into it now that I have gathered my stone and done some research. Cheers, 😊 October 2023

Good film! We call it field stone, rubble and create puzzle stone walls. Dry walling is the artist version of masonry. It's unfortunate, but San Pedro Canyon, AZ, has a heavy, deep layer of caliche and adobe. But, San Pedro river is all roundy-rounds, river stones. Walls created on this property are low, but good. Keep up the great work! niio

Getting it done with local stone - even if it’s round and pointy. Going to force myself today to use more stone from the ‘nugget’ pile. Hugs from Portugal 😘

You do amazing work. I'm blown away

I think you should more vids on Cumbrian stone. A well made wall of Cumbrian field stone takes some beating in my eyes. Congrats for the Penrith show.

Lovely work and seems like a good gang.

Great channel, down to earth Yorkshire man, please could you show a retaining wall build. Learnt a lot from watching your vids, thanks mate. I have taken a two day introduction to walling at Penistone. Then hopefully do the four dayer. The intention is to build a Granite retaining wall in France. Would this be a similar principle. Any advice welcome

“A small twist of fate” some great tips there at the end from that beardy dude who told you to F off earlier…😊 he was spot on with his advice, well I mean later…😅 tks for sharing, great vid.

Love this channel and your content. Are the stones just held together by their weight? When you pulled the old wall down, you could see a cross section of the standing wall and it looked like there was dirt in the middle.

I wish there was more detail and video to walling irregular field stone.

Hi, really interesting to watch your channel, such skill, thank you.
Do you know any dry stone wallers who work in the North Somerset area? We have several lengths of walling in very poor state that needs rebuilding. Could be a great job for a team or an individual in between other jobs. Many many thanks. James

Do you know of anything in Scotland central belt that i could learn this trade on weekends? Like a charity type thing?

Very keen to learn this, also stone and lime construction

How many tonnes for a 20meter 3 to 4 foot high sandstone wall? Planning on building my own but there's not a lot of stone on the land... any thoughts would be much appreciated mate

[d.thorpe]

why would you take this wall apart in the first place?
just for a workshop?
didn't seem much wrong with it.

[CastleHassall]

could have saved a lot of work if you'd left the wall up? :)

[TheIlovetrolling]

Do you hammer/chisel the stone to make it fit very often?

Anybody else end up here after watching "the wandering turnip"?
