As discussed, here is the simple method for making the clay stones.

Very cool! I wonder though, after watching your wood video, couldn't you do the same thing for your cobblestone? Create a square mold of cobblestone as a single sheet, then press it into the clay and cut it to the shapes you need. Then instead of placing a single stone at a time, you could just put the whole section at once. Hope that made sense, haha.

I am going to be making some modular city/castle walls in a bit and may consider doing something similar for them. The one thing that the wooden planks have that made them easier to do the stamp is that they were by design going to be sliced and diced to size. If you wanted to do a proper stamp for stones or cobblestones then you would need to make sure that the right and left edges (as well as the top and bottom) meshed perfectly so there wouldn't be any stamp lines. Because of this symmetry I think the pattern when viewed from a medium distance may be evident. The fact that I only needed about 30 stones per long wall also made it fairly quick and easy to do. Thanks for the idea/feedback. It is appreciated and I will be sure to share with the group anything I do that is similar.
