Have you ever dreamed of building or at least living in a beautiful stone house? For more than five years Stonefield Publishing's Stone House: A Guide to Self-Building with Slipforms has been the prime source for information on a unique method of stone masonry that affords everyone, regardless of their level of building experience, the opportunity to create walls and even homes of stone. "The technique has been around for a long time," says author Tomm Stanley, "but it's not that well known. Add to that the mystique that surrounds the traditional craft of stonemasonry and there's no wonder that stone houses are not all that common, even in areas where stone is abundant". The book has now been revised and is being re-released with two new chapters, digital enhancement to the original images and new photographs. Stonefield Publishing's Marketing Manager Brad Andersen notes, "We've received a lot of great feedback from readers over the years but one consistent issue was the image quality. We took those comments to heart and with technology that wasn't available to us back in 2003 have just brought the photos to life". Tomm says that writing the new chapters and preparing the revised edition for print allowed him to finally complete his original vision of the book. "One of the new chapters, called Reflections, could only have been written after the passage of time. It's about looking back and thinking about what could have been done differently, what worked very well and also speculating on potential targets for future alteration. It really finished the story for me and makes it more complete for readers." Stone House focuses on the story of Tomm Stanley's own experience of building his house with the slipform method. This book is certainly not your average "how-to" offering; it is more like a tapestry of information and entertainment interwoven with technical advice, diagrams and pictures, tales of the owner builder experience and as the title implies, plenty of guidance on how to build your own stone house using the slipform method of construction. It makes great reading for those that are on the way to becoming self-builders as well as the rest of us that dream of such adventures.

Stone House Construction is a comprehensive study of Australian stone building techniques in a residential context, for people with an interest in building or renovating, including property owners, architects and builders. It has a strong theme of historic stone buildings, as traditional forms of building respond to the need for structural integrity and stability over time against weathering. The book covers aspects of building in locally sourced stone, from quarrying on-site to building arches over openings for upper storey walls, and is a source book of examples and methods to help the reader to carry on a tradition of building in local stone. Stone buildings inspire people because they transfer a natural beauty to a human achievement. The book shows many examples of Australian stonework that have not been given exposure in previous architectural references. It promotes Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD) through the continuation of a stonework tradition in Australia.

THE INSIDER'S GUIDE TO STONE HOUSE BUILDINGThe complete collection of ten guidelines has been designed primarily as a tool to help self-builders and projects managers, but should prove useful for anyone and everyone who is in any way involved in a stone build project. What these guidelines will do:* Help you to navigate the challenges involved in managing, overseeing or designing a stone build project. * Help protect you from the various pitfalls that have been the scourge of so many stone build projects and generally lead to additional expense and unnecessary stress. * Help you to stay in control, both of the process and of your finances. * Help you make educated choices regarding the right materials, especially the building stone and mortar type. The knowledge you will quickly gain will allow you to see at a glance if the proper techniques and systems are being used to construct your stone build project. You will know instantly if something is not right and you will be able to take appropriate action to avoid the expense of poor quality workmanship. What these guidelines will not do:Although the information in these guidelines will be beneficial to most stonemasons, it will not teach you the art of building stone. However, if you are planning to learn how to build stone, this information will introduce you to almost all the key elements of the art that stonemasons need to know, and provide a solid foundation on which to build future learning and develop your skills. In fact, if you do want to learn how to build stone like a pro, please read the full set of guidelines first, and then contact me by email [email protected] for a link to a video which will guide you through the few final steps you will need to take in order to build the stone yourself.
