It is essential that all good citizens being to learn wall-making skills. Wall-making will be a growth industry in the coming years, from the wall to keep Americans out of Mexico, to the walls we will certainly need to keep us out of Canada and New Hampshire as well.
Who better to teach us these essential American skills than a foreigner! And let’s learn the Traditional Irish Dry Stone Wall method of putting the stones together.
Making a wall like this is a bit like putting together a puzzle. There are lots of shapes and sizes of stones to consider, and they can go together in many possible ways. If you start out to make a wall and run into, well, a wall, you can just take it all apart and try again.
No need for messy cement or mortar with this method, either. Gravity and friction keep it together.

I have seen these fine examples of Irish stonework in Dingle. The first one is amazing. It is a chapel. I have been inside it.
