Wanna give you a bit of advice , when your using engineering bricks , in the winter or when the air is damp use a blow torch on the bricks before you start laying a thing, sort of thing for torch on felt, heat em right up and they will lay lovely , you see them steaming where the moisture is evaporating out the bricks , give em a few mins to cool down and away you go works every time ,

making a couple of brick columns this week for my new lanterns , cheers for the video.

Thanks for your help mate

Ive been a Bricklayer over ten years, no chance with wet bricks and laying them on ply wont help, the vibrations will make it more wet. For anyone trying a brick pier try doing 3 - 4 coures then let it go off a little. Then plumb it up. helps me. Nice vid mate. keep it up.

Can u plz do more brick work vids cus I love these types and really hope u continue ! Definitely will help u out !!

Nice to see young people keeping the craft alive...though i plumb on corners...great vid.

Hi Stuart, try sprinkle a little dry cement on top off mortar bed. It helps soak up excess water. I use this trick when laying Accrington stocks on chimneys. Works a treat.

+Joezr I know mate but it's not all about the views pal, I'm just expressing myself with lots of different videos and that's just me, I would have to start about 10 separate channels for all the things I do and that is just a headache so everything goes on this channel. That's me and I'm happy if I get 50 views or a 1000 views. Thanks for watching mate 👍

Thank you Stu for your videos tutorial

How do you seal or cover the top after finishing. What ways are there to do the finishing

Hi stu. Bravo, iranian bricwork is beautiful, please teach, tanks

I find piers very hard to build, practise makes perfect tho I guess. Thanks for the video.

Intresting you work for persimmons as iv just started with them

like the early vids, you have come on a long way! if you are building a pier in the wet just sprinkle some cement on each coarse before laying on your mortar, you will be amazed at the difference. oh & don't try to build on a trampoline either. good man

excellent vid mate

Should a pier be reinforced with steel and concrete if over a certain height?

Strangely cool.

Great video. I've just bought a house and the rear garden wall is just shy of 1m high, is it possible to add piers to the existing wall so I can span the gap with metal railings, or would I be better demolishing and starting from the ground?? There is about a 3m drop at the other side of the wall and I'm worried the dog will be over to chase rabbits and break something!! Thanks 😀

@Stucrompton1

you can add piers so long as the original wall is in good condition mate

Mate there should be more people like yourself!!! Maybe think about teaching ? Are you city and guilds ? Being a bricklayer myself your spot on with your work Nice to see !

Insted of using cement, why don't u just use building sand and lime. The mortar doesn't go solid and it's easier to clean ur bricks

Stu so u don't have to pay for a mix each time I have solution , just buy 3 sand bags and lime not cement this means you will have the same texture each time also this never goes hard just leave I in a bug get and just add small amount of water each time. the first time you mix , mix the same as u would with cement except this time it is lime This does work and will save lots of money with sand and cement because u only buy it Hope u find this useful Regards GBS

i see nothing wrong with the wall looks good to me i know that if the bricks are wet the cement wont stick to them but looks good to me

You should put ads In your vids to get revenue. You deserve to be paid for your content

You didn’t gage your brick work ounce and it not plumb purp joints are wider at top ,

Setup a patreon account then members can see better content etc

Nothing worse than wet bricks!

Sorry I totally getting confused with your demonstration and what you try to say with this video.

KZread should pay you at least people learn things from your videos
