in this video you will learn how to make an uneven stone wall the tools that you will need are more to a pan trowel jointer brush plum bog string Mason's hammer and concrete block profile the materials that you will use are uneven stones and mortar don't forget to use personal protective equipment including safety gloves reflective jacket safety helmet safety shoes and dust mask to build an uneven stone wall first set up the profiles to guide the first course here we have used concrete blocks as profiles smear cement slurry between the profiles so the ground doesn't absorb the water from the mortar bed cement slurry is a fluid mixture made by mixing one part of cement to over two parts of water lay a small section of the mortar bed wide enough to accommodate the thickness of the largest stone that you will employ apply a mortar bed of about 12 millimeters thickness so that the final thickness after placing the stone will be 8 to 10 millimeters place a stone with its most uniform side facing the front surface of the wall adjust the mortar to ensure the stone is flat against the surface lay the next section of the mortar bed place and adjust the next stone just next to the first one leaving an average gap of about 10 millimeters continue the process till the end of the course if a certain stone is slanting away from the front surface use a small piece of rock to support it in a straight position when using an even stones each unit that you lay may be different in shape and size from the last one a tall stone in the first course can be compensated by placing a shorter one on top of it in the second course the important thing to keep in mind at this stage is to ensure that each stone is flattened against the front wall continue the process till the end of the course at this point you will be left with the line of large rocks positioned such that they are making maximum contact against the front surface of the wall using the prowl fill up all the gaps below in between the rocks insert the blade of the trowel between the rocks making sure that the mortar fills all gaps between the rocks filip her fins along the surface of the wall with mortar and spread it smoothly with the blade of the trowel Leigha section of the mortar bed for the second course on one end of the wall place the first stone and adjust it against the front surface ensure that it is balanced well on the first course with a flat side against the front surface do the same on the other end of the wall if the first course is too uneven use small rocks and additional mortar to support the stone check the position of both stones using the plumb bob transfer the profile to the second course to guide the remaining stones make sure that the guiding string is taught along the surface of the wall fill up the wall with a series of stones positioned along the string check the stones and readjust them if necessary in case the dimensions of a particular stone does not fit a space you may use a chisel and Hammer to cut it into shape remove the string and fill up all the gaps below in between the rocks fill up perpend along the surface of the wall with mortar and spread it smoothly with the blade of the trowel ensure that the front surface is completely level repeat these steps till you've reached the desired height when the last course has been laid and filled with mortar make sure that the top of the wall is uniformly leveled Philip perpend along the surface of the wall with mortar and spread it smoothly with the blade of the trowel you may now use a brick jointer to outline the mortar joints so as to add definition to the world clean up your workspace once you have completed your work you have now learned to build an uneven stone wall
