Stone dressing by hand: chisel to wall course
A reclaimed stone is set on a barrel, marked with a chisel and struck down that line with a club hammer, then turned and dressed on the next face. Where a block is too deep, a steel wedge driven with a sledgehammer breaks it on the line. The dressed stone is carried to the wall and set on the course.
