Building Stonehenge

Ah... a misty morning at Stonehenge... Want to build your own? Wally Wallington can show you how in this fascinating video on YouTube.

Using only simple tools, gravity and brute strength, Wally Wallington proves that building Stonehenge is possible without modern technology by lifting "a Stonehenge-sized pillar weighing 22,000 lbs" (10000 kg) and moving a barn 300 ft (91 meters).

Thanks to Lady Faoileann for the link.

Awesome demonstration

This is an excellent demonstration of what can be accomplished by breaking down a large problem into tiny pieces. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.

Count me as one very impressed engineer.
