I live in a 10 c Italian village and builders here still know how to do this - and they do exactly what you have gone - huge respect to you - so impressive .
Fantastic job for first time DIY. A couple of things to mention: The C measurement you calculated is the Arch Radius (1309 top measurement in calculator list) minus Arch Height (1050) And we usually use 2 identically cut sheets of ply (joined if necessary) with timber spacers to separate them so the blocks sit level (no spokes). Heavy to stand, but solid and fast to build. That's the sort of accomplishment you can stand and admire proudly - it's no easy task for first time DIY.
Found the channel over weekend and have watched most of the videos.. very few good videos on TH-cam showing how to "stone face" a wall and build up in courses using stone. Some of your earlier episodes showed and explained those brilliantly. Would love to see a video on building stone around windows! Great channel!!
Alex, your whole build is ridiculous!!!!!!!…..you should have thousands and thousands of more viewings, it’s so sad that here you have a person who actually does something worth watching and you cannot get tens of thousands of views while some idiots stick their finger in their nostril which will pick up huge amount of traffic, we’ll done mate you teaching people something really really worth watching and you are doing it right, great upload !
Cheers Mark (I think! 😀) - 1 month ago I was getting about 300 views per video, and pleased to say after 2.5yrs the channel has finally taken off (a bit). Fingers crossed it keeps on going! Thanks for watching 😀
Watched your arch video first then binged the rest in one go Favourite line there’s a fine line between rustic and shit Your defo on the good side Problem Iv got now is waiting for the next video Keep going
Awesome thank you for share . I'm building a garage-shop almost done , I built the roof with bricks . I use a big wooden mold to make 3 bovedas. Only one left . I will try to make a video
could you have put a larger key stone block in the center of the arch. like you sometimes see on older buildings. i understand you didn't want that look but could you have done that with this type of arch....peace out
Can’t believe you aren’t getting more views Takes some confidence / time and money to do what your doing Never mind have the balls to record it and stick it online keep going fella

Lovely. That last drone shot makes it look like an archaeological dig site. You are discovering a structure from the 13th Century.
A good friend of mine said to me "you could give up and tell people it's an old folly!" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folly
No stupid music well narrated videos
Right amount the time too great stuff
p.s. a small amount of stupid intro music on the barn build series 😂
