      like, there's a reason *why* masonry is a skilled trade and why masonic guilds are major players in any civilization that builds by stacking stone.

      If stonecutting was so intensive, why is an outlying building for animals built with stones? I accept the premise but I feel like I’m missing something. https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1440417479012982786 …

      Tiles were another major resource in the pre-industrial world. The Barbary Pirates had a lively economy going where they'd kidnap Dutch sailors and get a ransom paid in Delft tiles...

      30/ yes, using field stone would cut the work a fair bit ... but, man, at least around here, field stone doesn't stack for crap, except in roughly pyramidal shapes, so... I'm not sure. https://twitter.com/octal/status/1440658235862618120 …

      Or economies of scale: if you're building a stone manor house, you might have some extra materials with which to make a small outbuilding. The original post makes it sound like everyone has this stuff lying around.

      33/ yes, this is the goal, IMO I'm a software engineer, not a coder. But it's not THAT hard to frame a small garden shed, build a field stone wall, tile a fireplace surround, etc. 80/20 rule, ftw.https://twitter.com/GayRobotDevil/status/1440664670755381264 …

      There’s an interesting midpoint between a Master Craftsman (who can build his own house) and the Complete Layman (who can’t build or fix a thing)- the person who isn’t going to cut stone, but probably could turn a pile of leftover cut stone into a decent little structure

      I've gone back and forth whether his constant downplaying of expertise and difficulty of traditional methods is just him trying to encourage people to get out and try stuff (which I might excuse, even if misguided) or sheer ignorance. Gotta be the latter in this case.
