It won't be easy, but being a chippy I could soon knock up a mould for a 10 ton concrete stone. We'll need some sponsership though, the mold and the ready mix would cost £500 min. Six levers another £150 and if we decided to erect the stone as well as move it we'll need to lift it 7ft into the air, that'll take a fair lorry load of timber. Then we'll need somewhere to perform, might be able to do it at the tramway museum where I work. I'll leave you all to think about it.
Regards Gordon

Gordon,
Have you thought about writing a treatment for a televisual about your theory? That could be the ideal road to funding? Channel 5 comes to mind?

Anyone here know anything about such things?

And then there's radio (chortles at the idea of a radio broadcasted stone-rowing event) ;-)

One of your options would be to get the local council to buy a nice modern dolmen off you for a roundabout :-)

Trouble is you'd never get public liability insurance :-(

Just had another thought for what its worth. We could set up the project as a business, Raise the capital from among shareholders, film the whole project, then sell the film on the net. It might work.
Regards Gordon
