Who is Wally Wallington?

Wally Wallington is a retired construction worker from Lapeer County, Michigan who has revived forgotten technology and demonstrated a method for a person to construct a Stonehenge-like structure using only materials and techniques that do not rely on any modern technology. He has demonstrated this technique on the Canadian science television program Daily Planet, and is building a full-scale concrete replica of Stonehenge single-handedly.

His technique uses simple machines such as levers aided by counterweights and pivots. He has successfully singlehandedly "walked" a barn and multi-thousand pound concrete blocks using a beam lever and two pivots under the object and near the center of mass. These techniques might be comparable to those used by Edward Leedskalnin when he single-handedly constructed his massive Coral Castle in Florida.
