Moving Large Stones

["Simon Brown" <moonsong@zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz>]

Bruce,

There is a stone circle at Glen Innes near where I live (about 500km away)
that was built in 1988, Australia's bi-centennial year. Have a look here:

I remember reading at the time that it was erected using a backhoe on a
tractor. With respect to yourself and ancient builders, why not make use of
mechanical assistance to erect your circle?

I have re-read your original posting at:
http://aboutstone.org/conversa/msg00795.html and understand your wish
to create stone art using hand power alone, but surely a duty of care
demands mechanical backup to guard against injury in case of unforeseen
events?
