Looks great! Maybe it's a stupid question, but is it really unnecessary to use any mortar? I know that arches have been build like this for millenia but is there no building code against that or something? And will you be repointing the wall?
original building was dry stone which was part of its charm. tragically they appear to be using cement mortar, lime mortar would gave been the correct choice to prevent future damage. filling the walls with mortar is more of a practical issue, very difficult to insulate/heat with draughty walls. the arch has a vertical joint in the centre which isn't optimal, keystone would be optimal both structurally and aesthetically - but it'll more than likely stay up.
Its something like this one here: www.amazon.es/-/en/dp/B0D9QMBM71/ Best tool I ever bought, cost me around 25€ and still working after one year smoothing stone surfaces

Love seeing all of your work here. Would you ever post of a video showing what your ultimate plans or ideas are for the building and property?
I truly admire your patience and thoroughness for the works your doing, loving your channel ❤
Gostei muito, e esse homem realmente faz o trabalho sem cortes no video para as peças aparecerem prontas depois! 😊
beautiful stone work
All the work is worth it, the arc looks beautiful,
The arch looks fantastic, great progress ❤
That's awesome! Keep us posted.
Beautiful work. I was surprised to see that you didn't make the arch five pieces with a keystone in the middle for more strength.
May the Force be with you,greetings from Slovakia.💪
Good luck for the project ! Looks immense 😮
This is so wonderful to watch. Like solid craftsmanship progressing to mastery.
great work! keep going. love the content
PERFECT WORK, CONGRATULATIONS
Shims and wedges are great. I built a low retaining wall from large (1.5m x 2m x .5m) rocks that were excavated when we built our house 20 years ago.
Great work! 👍🏾😎
Great, we want to see more !!!
Realy great work. Like your skills a lot 🤗
Looooove it. Great work 🎉
Great work!
To see that the excavator shovel is moving slowly downwards were kinda scary.
But my Congrats its a really nice channel♥♥
:D yes indeed, we also only realized this once we were watching the timelapse. Thanks willi!
Bella obra ☺

Nice arch, that's a lot of work you put in cutting all that stone to fit. Would you share the budget for this whole project?
What is that drill called that you used to smooth out the stone?
