Time lapse of a dry stone moongate built in Wiltshire, England
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- This moongate was built using no mortar using ancient dry stone walling techniques. It was constructed by Will Lawton and Matthew Chapman - certified craftsmen with the Dry Stone Walling Association of Great Britain.
The moongate was a special commission and is located in the village of Whitley in Wiltshire, England. Reclaimed stone was used. During construction a dead wren fell out of the sky and is buried within the structure. It was completed on a full moon.
For commissions please visit westcountrywall...
It was made slowly, but it was excellent! Funeral is a noble gesture. Now I understand the bird song it was for the wren. You guys are excellent and noble masters! It will stand for a long time, in Hungarian history : the high castle of Deva, the legend of the mason Clement. ( kűműves Kelemen ) .

Brilliant!
breathtaking!
Deserves admiration! Great!
fantastic,well done 🕺🏾
how is this sturdy? I have only built dry stack walls with a batterboard for the rise and run. they didnt even use a line? all free hand? can someone explain some of their principles so i can learn? thanks!
how much lateral force can it withstand?
Is the movement seen at 3:39 normal? It moved a bit once the wood supports were removed.
probably, it is never 100% a circle with natural stones I reckon. So it just took its natural shape after the mold was taken off.
Yes exactly, natural settlement and shows how stable the structure is now. Had it been unstable, the whole arch would have collapsed at that point.
Yeah it will settle a little after the mold is removed and they lock in
Whats the cost of materials for something like that?
I would have bent a piece of rebar in the same radius as the arch and drilled and thread each arch stone onto it like beads, hidden on either end in the thickness of the wall. No one would ever see it or know it was perfectly safe afterwards. As it sits it looks too precarious, like after some freeze thaw the tops stones might loosen. I think there should have been more of a wedge shape to the key stone at the top center and maybe more stone on top of the arch for weight locking it all together.
You don't do stonework obviously, bc they would make it 100x more difficult to do.
@@allhopeabandon7831I agree, the key stone is all you need clearly the Roman aqueducts are still standing and they didn't need that.
Well the beauty of these things for most people is not just the look but the skill and the technique of using gravity and physics to make something possible that seems to our eyes to be impossible. Adding a hidden rebar “spine” if you will, cheapens and even negates the entire point of this craft.
عمل رائع وجميل شكرآ لكم
no mortar ? wow
Best hope no children climb on it. That's a accident waiting to happen.
Darwins Arch :)
Do you have any idea how an arch works?
Luke De Col Sure I know how an arch works. Do you know how a child's mind works? That's far too temping a climb and potential fall that will be painfully unforgiving.
One side is built up against a house the other side must weigh 4+ tonnes. Youd need to be one heavy child to move this. Im 18st 8. I could jump up and down on the top of this and i lt wouldnt budge
Luke De Col It's not that I think the arch would fall apart it's that I think a kid would be tempted to climb on it an could fall off it.
That is incredible! And a stone house, too! Lucky people! That moon gate is one of the neatest looking things I've ever seen! One of my favorite things about your country is all the beautiful stone and brickwork! Keep creating beauty like this, gentlemen, we need it in this world!
Maybe they will start incorporating this into the mosques being built all over the country we will someday fondly remember as Great Britain, part of the Muslim Empire of the future...I don't like it, but it's not my country and they seem okay in letting it happen.
The creation of a dry stone structure brings a feeling of personal pride, accomplishment, and lasting natural beauty for others.
I agree...but just a lil bit of mortar, and it wouldn't have sagged that ever so much...and a good push wouldn't be the end of it...
That's completely unacceptable and dangerous you need to finish that before somebody gets hurt.
Arches have stood like that for centuries chill out OSHA
Beautiful! But how stable is it?
Incredibly.... the interlocking stones support the arch no problem 😉
99.97% stability
Where is this stargates activation console?
Fucking gorgeous work! Can I come work for you ha ha. stone work is a big part of our jobs in the west country as brickie/stone layers and that is probably the best I will see. I just wish everyone would pay for such an amazing piece of art rather than blocks and render. Well done if I did that I could die happy. Faultless,!!!!!
This is great and all, until some asshole teenager comes along and pushes it over for a laugh.
How long can structures like this last?
It looks great, but..... (God dammit, I never thought I'd be on the side of the dreaded 'Health n Safety' whiners..)
But...
It seems to me, that to satisfy an ego, you left it to gravity to keep it in form..
..and so it will be a temptation to any kids who WILL want to climb all over it.
Boys will climb it, it will fall down.. and will almost certainly give the kids a right whack from the falling stones.
.....And then you'll wish you'd built it safely.
Come on fellas, how strong do you think boys bones are?
assume they have no children at the property....
They can climb on it all day and it's not going to fall:

Brad Woodfield, you keep posting that link, but it's only showing strength in compression - which is undoubted. How strong it is against someone clobbering it side on with a set of ladders they're carrying through?
Wonderful display of primitive art, architecture, building practices. I live in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains and ya'll would fit in here quite comfortably.
This is a work of Art good Sirs. Truly inspiring. Thanks for thinking about us when building your arch! Lovely!
I guess im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a trick to get back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly lost my password. I would love any tricks you can give me.
@Kannon Karter instablaster :)
@Ricardo Jordy I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Ricardo Jordy It worked and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my ass :D
@Kannon Karter happy to help :)
I want one of these in my backyard soo bad!! Ya'll did an amazing job!
Everything in RUclips looks easy or ask my wife when she wants me to do something and the first thing she says is : But in RUclips they do easy and fast 🤦🏻♂️
I dont get why its not collapsing. I know the physics behind it. I just expect it to fall down by the slightest touch. It has no mortar or glue and it just relies on structure to stay in place. But it really looks like it should give sideways and crumble down. Remarkable.
Stunning work guys, but I'm pretty sure "ancient dry stone walling techniques" did not use a diamond tipped grinder (2.21). However your video has inspired me to attempt a similar project. I hope it turns out as impressive as your work. Thanks for the inspiration
No arguments from me. I am sure you can tell from my previous comment that I wasn't criticising the guys work. On the contrary, they gave me the inspiration to build my own, and FWIW I also used a diamond tipped grinder. Kudos
I'm sure they would have if it was available
👍👍
Amazing! The music was really good too. Anyone know who plays it?
Looks cool, but no way this would pass code in the states. Also, seems pretty short to make it a convenient pathway.
If I build on private property and it's not like it would be a commercial job or new construction where it would be inspected
While it’s perfect and beautiful, you will never get the moon through there.
Beautiful work. You should fix the spelling of you web address above and make it a link.
Can we use this video on our youtube channel?
My hole would pucker every time I walked through it.
That shift a 3:38 makes me wat to push it over before it kills someone.
Who gives a shit about how strong that arch is if someone jumps up and down on it......laterally that arch is a fkin' disaster waiting to happen. You people should be ashamed of yourselves for no finishing that arch, damned pathetic.
Its still there asshole.
Beautiful work of art! They make it look so easy I would like to give it a try myself!! 👍👍👍😎🇨🇱

UN...F%ckin'...believable!!! Truly a work of art! If you ever make it to Boston, USA, the beers are on me!!! wicked cool to watch, I was actually nervous when you were taking the wood mold down, but that's just me being stupid, cause that thing is built with big ass stone, im impressed, nothing else to say but BRAVO!!!
What happened, ran out of money in the budget? I think a strong fart would blow that over.
Красиво. А это надежно? Дети или или кто то неловки не завалят эту красоту себе на голову ?
That is just bad ass, you guys rock! I got to make one now, very nice!
Really adds to the look of the house and garden. Reminds me very much of the Carrbridge bridge in Scotland.
so u did use concrete? just asking cuz it says dry stone.
Lovely arch and beautifully laid, perhaps some bigger ones might've helped composition... is that mort at 3.54?
Might forming a true parabolic curve have been stronger rather than modifying the circle at the shoulder mid-point?
Certainly, parabolic and catenaric are much stronger
Look at the profile of El Racó del Bosc, they are artisans working with natural stone, it is an area with more than a thousand years of history, they have gastrotourism experiences.
Is it safe to play football around it?
Simply stunning!
когда с камнем дефицит,можно сделать так-

Impressive. Most Impressive.
What is the diameter of the wood circle (without the down part being cut off)? Thx.
I saw it shift
how stable was it as the top? look amazing, but surely a good knock would have that tumbling down - this is a cruiosm not a critism btw :)
I would of applied a quality PL construction adhesive between the stones for strength
Deliberately built to the same design as would have been used pre construction adhesive.
Do you lot understand how an arch works? Construction adhesive? Get the fuck outta here..
Ann Oynmous theres nothing stopping it moving? Its called gravity... im a pretty well respected dry stone waller who has built multiple arches.. these lads did a good job.
Ann Oynmous: Look at the build shot at 1:45 and the shot at 4:40. The wall is roughly 35-40 cm (14-16 inches) across, and each of those stones are spanning the entire width of the arch. I'm guessing each of those larger stones weigh in around 50 lbs or more. The upper arch alone is more than likely well over 600 lbs. Due to friction of each rock on rock, lateral force of the arch on the rest of the wall, and gravitational down force; I doubt that you would be able to even budge it. If built properly the strength of an arch exponentially grows with it's weight.
So amazing and perfect and incredible, do it again
Now sign Your names sculptor artists! Its beautiful and great work! ❤
Did you notice the shift in the structure as the frame is removed?
Когда-то я ваш фильм уже смотрел!
Но что-то помешало мне поставить
пальчик вверх и подписаться! Вы
построили в своём саду
замечательное украшение , от
которого я в восторге !

Fucking top job
This is so so beautiful, real talent here
Applause.....
I love these dry Stone projects. Really beautiful work here. All I can think about is earthquakes though
I salute my fellow masons, your trust in the balance of that arch.... phew wee....!! Well done.
a beautiful transition from the curve to the horizontal stone courses
One stone at a time.
Tidy job.
Stone work.. and creativity at its best... fukin.... bad Ass.....
🤭
Really great music stunning house and gardens I hope no sparrows or starlings land on this
fantasic stone art and well crafted you fellas know your stuff nice geetar pickin too !
Terrifying.
Very very nice, what kind of stone was used for this ?
Magical
Made me all emotional. How to get flat rocks?
Well done! Cheers!
This is stunning!
WHAT A JOB,Fantastic Video
Beautiful. Now for some plants to grow within it.
Great music with this video as well as the build! I looked up this song and can only find the live version. What album is this from?
what is the name of the song and where can I find it
How these stones don't fall?
Beautiful job looks like part of a ruin no offence intended..
Killer Job.... How long will this stay up? Guess? WILL YOU UPDATE US IF THE ARCH FAILS?ARE THERE MANY ARCHER SIMILAR TO THIS ONE (around the world)THAT STAY UP FOR A HUNDRED YEARS OR IS THAT UNREALISTIC?
Arches last centuries
Плохой перевод текста на русский язык !
Amazed at this sort of thing. Would love to do this (with proper training/apprenticeship) for a living. Well done!

..
So no mortar or any type of bonding epoxy?
Love it ....can’t help but wonder
With no mortar how long does this last? I feel like it would be kinda delicate
It'll last forever unless somebody knocks it down or a force of nature disturbs the ground
Que increíble, sin pegamento !!!
Interesting construction result
Outstanding guys, what a beautiful entrance to the house.
Awesome work
Moongate, marvellous work!
Great job ! Just beautiful !!
That's some nice work right there. 👍
Did you use a stone saw at all?
هلعب تاع ذراري 🤣
That 100 year storms got nothing on this...
Well done gentlemen, well done!
i give it two winters...
Well its February 2019. Two years after the video was posted... Ive heard its still there.
What's the music
