mb86 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I’ve been having a go at dry stone walling. Trying to avoid it looking too neat so it looks like it’s been up a long time but where I’ve cut the stone looks too new. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I modified some brushwood ones as I just couldn’t get the right stone colour, how have you stuck them together? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used clear builders adhesive, It hasn’t set yet so I’m not entirely confident it’ll hold but we will see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks very well Martin, if you've a mind there's a few hundred yards to do here just when you have time😉 Just thinking, could you rub where you've cut the stone with a bit of dirt just to take the newness away?

Thanks John. That’s a good idea with the dirt, I’ll give it a go. To be honest I have plenty of my own walling to do or I might have taken you up on that offer😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mb86 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Looking great Sean. One thing that’s standing out to me is the butler indicators look too small compared to what I’ve seen and I think the housing/surround should be Ford grey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
