That’s what my father said. So I became a mason as he said he wished he had. What I can say is, most masons picked the wrong career. It’s dangerous, unhealthy, heavy work and as an old journeyman told me when I was an apprentice, “the novelty wears off”. Many years later my father asked what made me choose such a difficult trade. When I told him it was his idea he suggested he must have been drunk at the time. Thanks pop😂

Im not so shocked by old walls and works of stone masonry. You have to remember that we have a different view and appreciation of time than our ancestors did even a few hundred years ago. Building stone walls and other structures was just one activity one could get up to between other things, like tending the fields and animals. No youtube to waste away your evenings, so might as well go deal with that pile of stones you picked out of the field while plowing.

In spite of what we all know about how a well built arch gets stronger as the weight comes on there is always that moment, when the formwork is removed, when somebody jokes about 'if the arch collapses'. My first arch was nowhere near as elegant but it is still standing 46 years later. Just a lovely piece of work to watch. Makes my old fingers twitch to be holding a walling hammer once again.
