I know its basic bricklaying but you make it a pleasure to watch, well done and ive been doing it for years, and your a great example for young and older people

Your bricks are of very high quality, all edges are straight, which is very good. In our region you sometimes find crooked bricks, the equipment may be old, and the bricks sometimes have uneven edges and poor hyometry.

These look and sound like engineering bricks. They pretty my much always have nice sharp and square arris here in the UK. When it comes to facing bricks the quality can vary a lot. Sometimes intentionally as well though.

What a fantastic video Stu! It takes time and consideration to make this with various cameras and editing. This will help loads of us amateurs and I want to say thanks

Stu, I can tell that I am a loyal subscriber because I endured that Indian advert in order to see the end of your vid. It was a close call though. Great work and instruction as always 👍

Thanks, Stu. Tremendous as always.

Cheers Stu' 🐺

Excellent work.

You make it look easy!!!

super amazing 🙏🏽🙏🏽👍👍👍👍👍

Keep going boss , thanks a lot

Stu , great to see you again . I watched this video for about 4 minutes .A couple of points . When you level on face brickwork you level on the front edge of the brick . Also You never level across a brick , the plumb face is more important. I know this is super knit picking , but I hope you see where I am coming from . Best wishes

Plumb the face is how I was taught but with bricks like this I guess it’s less important. They look pretty square, so plumb should be close even levelling across the top.

never hit the spirit level!

Cool!!!

Gud vid 👌👍🔥

Good job! I love it!

A good lesson would be about bonding for openings, 13 inch blockwork, setting out course all dry...maybe

Good 🎉🎉🎉🎉

I’m in a 6 week training and I’m taking a test tomorrow to see if I can skip a year of apprenticeship I’ve never laid a brick lead and I don’t know the measurements wish me luck.

Went on a quick search for those types of bricks - with one side cut - on the assumption its for keying or bonding and sure enough, a few references say ‘keyed’ .. but putting that into Travis Perkins doesn’t get me far. Do these bricks have other names to brickies?

Do all bricklayers bang their spirit level to keep the brick in place if yes will it have a effect on the level later on in life? .

Lay out side

Stu, Great vids. Keep up the great work. Can I ask a question please. We recently moved to a house built in the 80s. The brickwork is brownish, not Cotswold. I need to try and match the mortar to make some repairs etc. The current mortar is not your normal builders mix with red sand. I think it may be washed builders sand? What would you suggest to try and match the original colour to blend in new brickwork. Thanks in advance.

Training mortar we used to use was sand and lime mortar. That way it could be used again and again. The guys would just stick in and a roller mill/mixer and add more water to make up the new muck.

Many years ago when i was about 12 my dad had a wall built and the brick layer who did it always used the soak the bricks in water. has that changed now due to improved brick manufacture? they look a bit porous now than they used to be.

If I'm in a Med country in the summer on a hot day e.g Greece (40 Deg) then i'll give the bricks a quick dip in water. It's what the locals seem to do.

hey does youtube look through my personal pics.

Wrong! Your wall is not engaged to the pier, just mortared up against it. And why haven't you used some sort of structual bond between the two wythes? You've made a double-skin cavity garden wall? Whats the point?

Bricklaying is not as easy as it looks.
