Good technique! Radius brick used to be made here in the states in various sizes. That's all gone now and 90 degree is the thing because it costs less to get done. Artistry is a thing of the past for most construction unless the owners want talent. Radius stoops and hearth inlays are a real challenge and you've done a fabulous job of reminding us of the old ways. Reminds me of what needs to be done to get a great job done correctly. We here in the states will leave weep tubes placed in the joints of the first course, about every 5 head joints or so, 3 cm above ground level, but even without them a step/stoop like that should last a good 40 to 50 years without maintenance. I have 30 years in the trade and appreciate you showing the younger folk how the Romans did it with sticks and dowels on their ground. Thanks! Bricklayer's Local 5, Cleveland, Ohio, USA!

Good video! I enjoyed watching you work Brought back many memories. I retired after doing a 52 year stretch as a MASON. Built a lot of fireplaces with firebrick. Thank you!

I've been in the building trade for 29 years and learned off my father. your workmanship is just like his...old school and excellent. superb mate.

So beautiful, I just adore brickwork! Thank you for sharing your skills! I love watching vids like this, they not only teach me things and inspire me, but give me the confidence so some day I, too, will be able to try something like this.

that's awesome, this is a art, very nice and very beautiful

safety tip when using an angle grinder or grinding wheel: NEVER USE GLOVES, if even a small pieces of it get's caught up in the wheel it will end up pulling you whole hand in!

Nice job cutting that brick, you have great patients.

I liked watching your video very much, very interesting. Thankyou

you put love into your work .... great work god bless

All that effort for something that will be taken for granted and barely noticed. Great job mind

Awesome job!

And this folks is a product of good hard work mixed with some skill. It's very satisfying to be able to build stuff yourself. Great job! A small note though in wet climates give a bit of a angle for water to run off. Not to worry toss a little salt on the step during the cold months to keep the step from feezing up on you.

Nice Job Chris....

bang up job. thanks for sharing the info much appriciated.

Great job sir !

Very nice skillset. The freehanded cutting is impressive. I am a little lazy so I do your miter joint jig setup on a 10 inch tile saw. Really good looking work!

A true tradesman a pleasure to watch, at a guess a man who probably started on site at 15 yr old boy ,brilliant tks

good job; i like to see videos like this without too much bullshit , cuz remember sometimes we are builders, but no good teachers, i include myself im so bad at teaching people, so that's why is better to watch someone do it, without too much detail of unneeded things to explain, who else agree

Congratulations! Very beautiful job!

Excellent video with clear instructions - you do incredible work !!!!! I have a brick paver doorstep that is sinking in one corner, I can see that a squirrel or chipmunk has been burrowing tunnels under the stairs as there is the gravel coming out from where the stairs meet the house. Could you possibly show / explain how to repair this - the sunken area involves 12-16 bricks. Thank you!!!

Thanks for the video. Another good idea is to put a 90 degree piece on the front of the trammel to make sure all the bricks a lined up square on the front and follow the curve all the way around

very nice job, A+++++

If only apprenticeships were as detailed and as informative as what you have been in a few short minutes, I love landscaping and fencing, i love learning how to do block paving and how to do bricklaying and just learning practical skills in general, thank you for contributing to the knowledge I possess, a smart worker is an efficient one 😁
