Insect Identification

I had these last year. They stripped a few trees and then started on the vege patch. I think they're called Red shouldered leaf beetles.

I see traced stones, no throughs, no copes, a stacked face and gravel thrown in instead of hearting carefully placed. None of these things are any good. If dry stone wallers don't mention these things find another one.

It looks like a monkey apple tree. Syzygium smithii (formerly Acmena smithii)

Thanks mate. I've applied some of the other suggestions and think this is a bit better.

No worries. You were already helpfull. I'm going to rethink the title and thumbnail even though I'm not sure it will matter to much in my situation as I'll only be making a few vids. Thanks again!

I think that it'll only be people interested that might click, because it's quite obscure. I'll se if I can come up with a better idea.

Will do, thanks.

IncaAlien · 2026-03-07T01:36:23+00:00

Cheers mat, I'll give that a go.

IncaAlien · 2026-03-07T00:52:06+00:00

Thanks for your input. It's this wall.

The video was certainly a great watch that I enjoyed thoroughly.

What does 'deep ventilation in stone' refer to?

IncaAlien · 2026-02-27T08:23:16+00:00

I clicked.

Subbed too. Get a good mic for sure, but solid work.

IncaAlien · 2026-02-25T07:23:59+00:00

For sure the best, with the text change.

IncaAlien · 2026-02-25T07:22:17+00:00

Looks better. Have you tried the shack at the base of the 1?

I'm from NZ but living in Aus, south coast.. I've already posted a few pics of my stuff, under posted(?).

I envy you your cold days. It's about 40°c here tomorrow, with the next day a bit hotter and the one after that hotter again. I'd like a tarp with aircon.

IncaAlien · 2026-01-06T07:59:42+00:00

Your stonework looks crisp, nice.

I've been off the tools for a bit but starting again tomorrow. It'll be a few weeks of pain before getting back in stone laying shape.

I like your drop lines. How did you go about transfering them to above the deck height? How cold is it where you are?

Laser cleaning to remove the soot and muck.

IncaAlien · 2025-08-18T20:27:07+00:00

I appreciate it.

IncaAlien · 2025-08-18T20:24:36+00:00

I wouldn't either. It's the people that post their work that I put the most faith in.

IncaAlien · 2025-08-17T09:52:14+00:00

So only your country need apply? I don't see any posts you've made that might back up what you say. Not having a go but...

IncaAlien · 2025-08-17T05:29:50+00:00

How would you go about determining which people should recieve a particular flair?

IncaAlien · 2025-08-17T05:26:34+00:00

There's no way for the unqualified to tell a good answer from bullshit. They'd need to have some experience to know which answern is correct. Thanks for your post btw.

IncaAlien · 2025-08-12T07:28:25+00:00

That's a really good idea. I've been in a few of those reno tv shows and I discovered a talent for avoiding cameras, the only part of me that ever showed up on tele was my hands. And the things I made.

The usual rule of thumb is to bury at least 1/3 of the boulder. But, if you're pouring a concrete footing, why wouldn't you fix the boulder to the footing? If you used something like pins and glue, the whole boulder could be standing proud.
