    The creation of a dry stone structure brings a feeling of personal pride, accomplishment, and lasting natural beauty for others.

      I agree...but just a lil bit of mortar, and it wouldn't have sagged that ever so much...and a good push wouldn't be the end of it...

    That is incredible! And a stone house, too! Lucky people! That moon gate is one of the neatest looking things I've ever seen! One of my favorite things about your country is all the beautiful stone and brickwork! Keep creating beauty like this, gentlemen, we need it in this world!

      Maybe they will start incorporating this into the mosques being built all over the country we will someday fondly remember as Great Britain, part of the Muslim Empire of the future...I don't like it, but it's not my country and they seem okay in letting it happen.

    Is the movement seen at 3:39 normal? It moved a bit once the wood supports were removed.

    • @jonnenne
      @jonnenne 7 років тому

      probably, it is never 100% a circle with natural stones I reckon. So it just took its natural shape after the mold was taken off.

    • @sallybilzon3507
      @sallybilzon3507 6 років тому

      Yes exactly, natural settlement and shows how stable the structure is now. Had it been unstable, the whole arch would have collapsed at that point.

    Stunning work guys, but I'm pretty sure "ancient dry stone walling techniques" did not use a diamond tipped grinder (2.21). However your video has inspired me to attempt a similar project. I hope it turns out as impressive as your work. Thanks for the inspiration

    • @dtbdel
      @dtbdel 7 років тому +1

      No arguments from me. I am sure you can tell from my previous comment that I wasn't criticising the guys work. On the contrary, they gave me the inspiration to build my own, and FWIW I also used a diamond tipped grinder. Kudos

  • @id104335409
    @id104335409 Рік тому

    I dont get why its not collapsing. I know the physics behind it. I just expect it to fall down by the slightest touch. It has no mortar or glue and it just relies on structure to stay in place. But it really looks like it should give sideways and crumble down. Remarkable.

      Ann Oynmous theres nothing stopping it moving? Its called gravity... im a pretty well respected dry stone waller who has built multiple arches.. these lads did a good job.

    • @ShortwickCreations
      @ShortwickCreations 7 років тому +17

      Ann Oynmous: Look at the build shot at 1:45 and the shot at 4:40. The wall is roughly 35-40 cm (14-16 inches) across, and each of those stones are spanning the entire width of the arch. I'm guessing each of those larger stones weigh in around 50 lbs or more. The upper arch alone is more than likely well over 600 lbs. Due to friction of each rock on rock, lateral force of the arch on the rest of the wall, and gravitational down force; I doubt that you would be able to even budge it. If built properly the strength of an arch exponentially grows with it's weight.

    @johnnyb8629 6 років тому +9

    I would have bent a piece of rebar in the same radius as the arch and drilled and thread each arch stone onto it like beads, hidden on either end in the thickness of the wall. No one would ever see it or know it was perfectly safe afterwards. As it sits it looks too precarious, like after some freeze thaw the tops stones might loosen. I think there should have been more of a wedge shape to the key stone at the top center and maybe more stone on top of the arch for weight locking it all together.

    • @allhopeabandon7831

    • @EarthForgeLLC
      @EarthForgeLLC Рік тому

      Well the beauty of these things for most people is not just the look but the skill and the technique of using gravity and physics to make something possible that seems to our eyes to be impossible. Adding a hidden rebar “spine” if you will, cheapens and even negates the entire point of this craft.
