Walls of Stone: How to Build Drystone Walls and Rock Fences | Construction and DIY projects | Forums

Amazing instructional video on constructing a drystone wall. Drystone meaning free of mortar.

This project produced a video for training technicians in correct methods for preserving stone walls and rock fences. The video is a primary training resource, providing graphic instruction on how to repair, rebuild and relocate stone walls and rock fences. In addition to providing training to practitioners, the video explains fence and wall construction to archeologists, engineers, preservationists and conservators.

Richard Tufnell is a master craftsman and instructor for the Drystone Masonry Institute of America, a non-profit corporation dedicated to preserving the craft, it's structures, and history. He'll be showing you the principals common to all walls and like you, he too was once a beginner.
