Using batter frame guides makes it possible to create dry stone walls that are perfectly true. This video shows an example of this on a complex project that had many wallers working.
It takes getting used to using frames, knowing where to put them so they will be least in the way is part of it. Having good equipment operators is key. Overall though it speeds up the build a lot, and makes achieving a high level of accuracy possible with a big crew. If a rebar frame does get hit, it can just be bent back too.
Margo, walls like this stay together because of how they are stacked. This is a very well documented procedure, and you can find out more at thestonetrust.org. Each stone is held in place by the weight of those above causing a huge amount of friction. There are no loose stones to pull out. Also remember mortar is not a good glue. It is a space filler and that is how it should be thought of. Using it as glue will reduce the lifespan of stone work. A well built dry stone wall will usually outlast a poorly built mortared wall, and in some case outlast even a well built mortared wall.

I am legit impressed. That wall is going to be dope.
Awesome work. That wall is very well built. It will last many lifetimes.
1:53 WOW! That herringbone section set in the wall is just stunning! And the wall itself is beautiful too. So nice to see.
Wow. That wall is gorgeous.
Beautiful wall WOW
such a fancy wall and so well-made, what a treasure
What a beautiful end result you and your team have achieved Brian !
They have achieved Brian, most definitely
That’s skill there . I do walling but that’s just another level there . Great video , thanks for sharing it .
Thanks for your comment, glad you liked it.
Great vid ! Stone can be so 'complex' - I'd be afraid of bumping into all those pole guides and knocking them out of true !

Looks amazing
Another fantastic video!
Beautiful work!
It’s crazy how good that looks. Any idea how much it cost to have 8 masons working on it?
Amazing work. 👏. I live to close to Vermonts its my favorite state. Curious, how much does something like this cost roughl estimate?
killer work
The stone looks a bit like limestone,and pretty tough to to hammer.Looks good ,the slate section looked good to

no morter all i can think of is someone pulling out one small stone and it topples..

@@thestonetrust500 I want one . I wonder what the cost of this project was. Im thinking 40k?
Wow is right.
Super super super 👍👍👍👍👍
That wall will be there long after the house has rotted and melted back into the earth...
👏👏👏
👏👏👏

👍
thank you!
