Dry Stone Walling - Field Gapping With A Cover Band

In this video we where able to put a cover band on a field wall over in Silsden West Yorkshire.
I enjoyed this job as you don’t often get to repair these any more.
I also had a few running joints in this one but it was done very quick as a favour and didn’t take enough time to step away.
I’m still happy with the end result and it will be stood strong for many years to come.

Nice job. Walling's a young man's game. Hope you price your work accordingly for your back's sake.

[@reserchforufo]

hi..nice job...Is there a purpose for the stones you put on the top floor to be placed vertically? Is the purpose just aesthetic?

[@DryStoneTom]

It just spreads the weight across the top corse of the wall but I know it’s done differently in different parts of the country/ world

Tom, you may have mentioned this in a previous video but how long have you been walling? How did you learn, did you apprentice?

[@DryStoneTom]

Hey, I’m not sure if I’ve covered this to be honest but I started walking when I was 7 with my grandad, he trained me into my teens but it was only local work and for my mums horse yard back then. I’ve learned a lot off of a lot of people over the years though. It seems that there’s something to learn of most people 😊
I’m 31 now too
