What do you do when you build a new Townhall, do you use all of your builders or do you just use 4/5 and start on the new level of walls?
I always keep one builder free for wall building, and I've always assumed everyone else did as well.

Thats what I usually do or you can use all 5 and save everything until the upgrade is done.
I go with all of them on something since the first upgrades tend to be short so you aren't waiting long to use up your gold.
Always 5/5 building. Saving one for walls makes you lose 20% of your building speed, I just try to have a builder getting free every 1-2 days to dump gold.
Lol....5 builders
I usually farm quite a bit, if I didn't have a builder free, I would max out gold storage too fast.
At Th 8+ (currently at 7) it seems like there would be a lot of down time with the long build times. It feels like everything would be maxed before walls and the I would just have 5 idol builders while wall farming.
I never realised that teslas had so many levels at th7 (3 I think) so they were upgrading and were my last defences to max at th7, but they ran into my first day at th8 :(. I kept the 3 I had left occupied though, doing mortar, using all my two gold storages to get new walls, lab upgrade and de drill. Then the next day I forgot what I did :P.
I just max out my storages between upgrades and try to make a builder free up every day. Although while my storages are maxed I take my time remaining as "relaxation" time and donate troops and stop raiding.
I would not advise to keep a builder for just upgrading the walls. I am at TH8 now, I have 5 builders (yes I bought gems to by the 5th and i think that is the smartest investment you can make in this game with your gems) and still they are not enough, granted, I have a lot og catch up to do after my premature TH upgrades.
What I do is I assign 3 builders for upgrading my defenses (yes I know that leaves my base vulnerable but as I said I have a lot of catch up to do). The other two I use to upgrade the rest (barracks, king, and resources).
I upgrade the walls whenever a builder is freed up using the excess gold that I have after starting a new upgrade. Also, as someone said, it is a good idea to plan so that you have a builder freed up every day.
Don't do that, if you farm a lot, you will max your walls before maxing your buildings
