Love to see more work with " rounded" stone. Field rock.

Hi Dry Stone TV. This is super useful tips and tricks of the trade. Very happy you are sharing this so that walls can be done right! Was wondering, have you done a video yet on ‘’batter’’ and working out the width of the wall? / how it withstands pressure? It would be very helpful to get that stuff explained in detail as well. Salutations from Norway. Here we have a lot of traditional dry stone walls for foundations / base floor on houses, and stone bridges. Looking forward to more content from you guys!

Enjoyed the video. In future episodes could you discuss using round stones? Those kinds of rocks are very prevalent here in Detroit, MI.

I've been taught not to use pins under the base stones. Dig the base stone in slightly instead. Also no pins should be visible in the outskide of the courses. Cobble pins should only be fill, never seen. I'm not saying the wall in the video won't last 100s of years. Im just talking technique. Good video!

Nice solid wall. I wonder how to estimate enough stone to build, for example, a two- meter long wall?

Just found your channel. It’s really great. I’m confused by this rebuild though…It’s blindingly obvious that your repaired gap is better built, the rocks are laid more structurally and the gaps are much smaller. This should mean that you need more rock to finish the wall section. However, you’ve got a pile left over. Is this dry stone physics?
