Gordon,
I never met a dumb carpenter!

“fulcrum logs!? Movable, placed longitudinally do you mean? And we were wondering how the levers got under the stone. I suppose if you left gaps between the cross logs, that would do it, or were you thinking of something else?

“40 men could move a 40 ton stone”… blimey, that certainly would make all the other attempts to replicate stone-moving look a bit puny. Sounds like you should organize a race! Better still, they’re hoping to lift an Avebury stone next year, using “villager power”. I don’t suppose they’d let you mess with a real stone but it would be a perfect occasion for you to do a demo with a block.

I reckon you’ve really hit gold with this.

Do you think cursuses were stoneracing tracks?!
;)
