for sure!

Absolutely, in fact I'm doing a wall in a couple of weeks that's all irregular stone so I'll get it filmed.

Cheers man

Hi there! This kind of content has been on my mind for a while. Its all about waiting for a good situation to film and trying to sort out my thoughts in my head on that subject.

Yeah deffo! This was our first attempt at a video and there's a lot I'd like to change about it now. We'll probably re-do it at some point.

@@drystone-tvI’m very appreciative of your guidance, thank you so much. I live in Canada with five huge piles of smallish bluestone and wish I could get my hands on sandstone as well to put something amazing together. I’m a gal cub so smaller rock felt more doable. In 2008 when I arrived here I tucked into stone landscaping with huge rocks to help the wasbund and got a years worth of arm tendinitis fir my efforts! Anyway, no matter your nascent sound recording beginnings you all ROCK and I am never bored listening to your wisdom 🙏🏻⚒🙏🏻 Many ta’s.

A little bit aye, the wall originally was built by complete beginners

Boulders are easier than flat stone in my opinion. In fact it's all easy when you know how to do it.

Depends how permanent you want? most of the dry stone walls you see out in the country side are well over 200 years old. Also these walls move with the conditions where as adding cement makes them prone to trapping water and freeze thaw. So if built well and you’re not planning on living for more than 200 years I think you’ll be good.

@@rncharrison Thanks for the advice mate. It would really need to be bound together for this purpose though. I don't want any roots growing out of the wall.

We don't ever have much left over, just a few pieces normally then that stuff gets taken to the next job.

I worked with an old farmer many many years ago. It was a really hot summer and we were drystone walling in Holmfirth. He had a flat cap and overalls on. When asked why he didn’t go bare chested like everyone else he paused, looked into the distance and said “ paranoid ov wetha chanjin!” Followed by “Might unduu top button ore twoo”

Couple of hours

@@drystone-tv any idea how many hours exactly or roughly😂

Haha. Grand master that dog

Depends what you mean. They cost more than a wood fence but last 10 times longer. Very cheap if you DIY but labour of a waller isn't that cheap.

@@drystone-tv Seems like a bit of work, but they look quite sturdy. Do they hold up well against severe wind and falling tree limbs. I'm in a part of the US that gets plenty of hurricanes, and am considering putting one of these up.

Aye this was my 1st video before I had a microphone.

our first video.. before we had microphones. might be a good idea to re-film it!

Or take the audio out and replace it with voice-over narration. I recently watched a video by a woman who makes willow fences and structures. Instead of competing with the wind she just went about her work and added narration later. Brilliant ☺️

These boots are Buckler, they're OK but there are definitely better boots out there. Don't take any notice of your old man, just focus in what you're doing and results will come.

That's a shame, all you need is a piece of string and your walls can be very crisp! Maybe they'll see my videos one day hah

@@drystone-tv maybe…they only string they know is the string holding up their trousers
