I've never been comfortable with the "swinging a rock at a larger rock to dress it" method. Has this been tested by anyone to any degree of success? It just looks a bit random and cumbersome to me. Although it's entirely possible it IS the best method!

Any ideas?

Hey Goff,

I know what you mean - dare I say it looks a bit hit and miss? :) Or more precisely "hit and mess it up past the point of being redeemable"? IIRC Mike Pitts did something like this in his Stonehenge thing.

Personally, I think anyone that came with getting the stones to where they are (and feel free to insert *whatever transport mechanism floats your bluestone* here) would NOT require such an approach as A-frames. To my mind - or what passes for it these days - it seems too involved/over-engineered.

Peace
