Ur videos are really doing me a favour in my bricklaying course. I watched ur videos before I started my course which gave me a bit of insight but now that I’m doing the course it is benefitting me a lot! Even my tutor said I am improving on my brickwork because of ur videos and other bricklayer tutorials. I appreciate u man keep it up!

Don’t know why all videos with no music is so interesting to watch.I love your Chanel ,God bless !

Hey, let’s finish up stunk

THIS I could watch ALL day !! The sights & the sounds / awesome & therapeutic !!! Thanks so much !!!

This is someone who has mastered there craft. A true joy to watch. Keep up all the hard work stu. 👍.

Love these videos. You can learn so much just by watching you... Great work 👍🏻

Top class as always! There's no doubt that the level is King,but,there's also no substitute for a craftsman's eye,which you undoubtedly have, and which only comes with experience!Best wishes and blessings to you Stu!

I think this my favorite video you have ever done...this is definitely my next brick project

Great vid Stu, takes me back to tech college in the 80's , did a trade trading course when I left school, brickwork, joinery, plumbing etc, I ended up as Plumber, but loved the bricklaying.

Nice!I love the sound of the trowel against the bricks.

Your videos have been helping me do laying around the house and to complete my couse in collage thank you so much man!! I love you vids so much

Always a pleasure watching a skilled man. I am currently building steps with brick courses and pavers. I hope I can learn from watching you.

Another cracking video Stu,the second build they teach you to do at college after the pyramid.Very neat,plumb and to gauge-you make it look effortless!! 😉👌👍

Great video as always Stu. I lay brick part time as a secondary job. I really enjoy your videos. You lay brick so smooth like an artist. You really have a great talent. I love music but I liked this video without the music. Keep them coming please.

Brilliant. I've started doing a bricklaying course and I'm been watching your videos to

Some say silence is golden. I certainly agree here!

COULD YOU CREATE A VIDEO ON DIFFERENT TYPES OF MORTAR JOINTS AND HOW TO DO THEM. WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT 👍🏻

learning a lot from your videos, i will check out the courses you organise. thank you.

Just watched that and found it super therapeutic .👍👍 nice one.

Mind me Stu, but you got really good. I can clearly see you passed from tapping the bricks (back in the days/videos) to pressing them down. Nice technique 😉. I'm doing it too and it's really pleasing when you reach the right level 😁. Have a good one mate. Cheers.

Beautiful sound

This is amazing 👌👍

Brilliant 👍

Nice and neat, full perps and bed joint exact amount of mortar, without unnecessary moves👌 Obviously you are experienced enough to know how 10mm bed joint looks like but you could use tape measure to be sure every course is gauge!😉

Nice one. I can now brick lay from this video. Gen

Great vid, does this work for double cavity block walls as well? Seperate topic but could you also explain the different bonds needed for bricks and block build ty.

You are the best bricklayer in the world for me mate , I'm learning from you, all the best

Hello stu love watching this video I don't know why, it's a great vid and I started my cavity wall today

mate its all about the sponge finish with smooth joints lol i like using cavity insulation to finish engineering bricks they come out looking mint!

I just love the sound of running water and trowel on brick. I new a hod carrier who would go to sleep with the sound of a mixer being cleaned with water and brick's on a cassette tape . another good sound.

We're all taught when an apprentice, not to hit your level, but we all do it😄 . I carry a two foot level as well , comes in handy. Good vid 👍

Super ,very good corner...

Video is great only one thing with us masons here in Jamaica we hit our blocks not our levels but extremely good insight on brick laying

It's perfect

عمل جيد واتقان شكرا على فيديو

Very therapeutic to watch

Nice job dude, I like to put a fourth flick on my perps I find you never have that small void on top of the brick once it's laid, but live the content. Not sure if you have done a dome pizza oven video but that would be cool to see how you get a nice dome, if you ever find time. Thanks from aus

Good man Stu, haven't been as active on your channel but seen the no music in the title and instantly clicked ha wasn't that long ago you were on 3.8k so great to see your channel is growing. Onto 100k and best of luck with the academy

Great lesson Stu. Thanks. What boots are those? Greetings from Poland.

Christ you make that look easy!

hi mate did you plumb the first course ??

No music, the sound of running water, geese flying past, a train.. expecting to hear my mother-in-laws dulcet tones (not) any second. Make it look so easy mate!

6 mins in and your tinkering that level haha

How do you know the horizontal and vertical spacing between each brick is accurate? In my mind if you were building a house for example, you could end up with one side too long or too high and then the whole house is the wrong size.

I didn't know bricklaying ASMR was a thing. I will admit it did feel kinda calming.

@Stucrompton1

Follow asmr bricklaying for more asmr 👍

Does the mortar between the lower bricks get pushed down by the weight, or do the bricks, as it were, move downwards by whatever degree?

Good video, but I would really like to know just how long does a level last, or are they specially made levels.

Keep doing what your doing stu mate because it's fantastic watched you from day one and wow what a change you have made you should be proud I'm hoping to come over before Christmas and have a hours lesson with you or something buddy will be in touch keep up the great work !!!!!

no bricklayer has ever explain how they set up the bricks height wise. How do you know if you will end up with full brick on top end or not? is it ok to have half brick on top?

@utubewatcher360

Very good comment, he is not gauging the height of the courses. How does he know he is going to come out on elevation of the brick, could be a window, a rollock course or top of door way

I tried this but the bricks just sink for me and i end up up with uneven joint space. I need more practise.

What is "training mortar"? Low Cement content?
