Y'all people can say all the things negative you want about these men! But they are "ARTIST". I was a really good bricklayer till I broke my back when I was 28. I could build some of the most beautiful fire places imaginable, but what I wouldn't give to work along side of these men for six months or so. Their the best I've ever seen! Be proud of your knowledge and skill men because what you know has been lost for centuries and centuries, a skill that is not only remarkable but magnificent. Great Artist and never mind you never used a rule. And if you people don't think an arch is strong? You check your physic's again! Why do you see all the Roman temples built with arches and still standing Mother Nature, an arch is probably this one single strongest structure in existence today and thousands of years past. For you people that don't no any better! What would happen if you had a square head??? Think about that equation...

If that brick is soft enough to cut with a trowel then that brick is too weak. I wish they filmed how he mixed his mortar. Cudos to the bravery of the camera man. I do not want to be anywhere near those domes in an earthquake 😫.

I spent a lot of time in Guanajuato, Mexico, in the 90s. Over the years I spent hours looking up at ceilings just like these wondering how the hell they were made. I just assumed they must have had supports to ensure they met perfectly in the middle and didn't collapse in the process. Mad respect for the craftsmen who have perfected this technique. Thank you for sharing!

The most amazing thing about this video is how he shapes the bricks as he goes along.

it repetitive and practiced he is using large units. i managed to train myself to lay bricks with exactly 10 mm perpends between each brick, simply because I discovered through observing my work that the tip of my index finger made the perfect gauge for starting me on good consistent practice. after that it became second nature and I even could work out without measuring, the full size brick needed to for 1st and second course work, but i would never recommend not measuring out the work area, i was told by a bricklayer he had measured it out there are the bricks you won't need any cuts (except the ends) so i got them all in. turned out he lied and was trying to make out i would botch the work.

The thing that impresses me the most is that this guys don't use string lines, theodolites , or lazers for grades and all sides appear to be uniform.great job

Very impressive. Every line he lays is an arch in itself, stable like any bridge. The arch is the leaning sideways on the previous one. Very stable construction I think.

It's not really sad. Where one trade is lost another is created. *Innovation.* The bricks are beautiful, but the material and skill are a result of the economic and environmental factors surrounding the construction. I'm not saying this to be an asshole. I'm saying it because I think that too many people revere dying (or totally irrelevant to their society) trades and techniques without considering the benefits of modern ones. There's a reason old techniques are replaced, and while I won't explain this simple near universal understanding because I respect your intelligence, I'll say that you can't have it both ways.

People spend their life improving a trade, things move forward, old things go away. This is life. Something is born, something dies. You know I'm making sense here.

I truly respect any Craftsmanship & dedication to the craft - using the medium of choice- here is brick to create something out of nothing. Often doing the more difficult task & what others say is impossible. I’ve hired Mexican brick masons on smaller remodeling projects before, & I was amazed at the speed & agility- they got bricks replaced on an Home extension/addition, and just as I had envisioned- they seamlessly incorporated the new bricks with the old ones removed to make room for the additional room, making it look like the new addition had been there for 40 years... All other American masons had tried to convince me how much easier it would be to cut the old brick off in a straight line, and scrap the old bricks, and completely put new wall up with all new bricks. Hence you’d have a straight line of old - next to new. The addition would be obvious. When I told the Mexicans what I wanted, they just said No problem, when you want it done sir? And their work was impeccable. Despite that the funny thing I recall was all others required me to get a mortar mixer on site for them, the Mexicans just told me they need 2 pieces of plywood in which to mix the mortar on, the younger man in the crew mix the mortar, staying one step of his masons.

I'm impressed! 16 years in the trade. The way they use their trowels is impressive.

This is a skill that is truly an art form. I really appreciate what he can do and would love to know what he knows!

would like to work alongside this guy for a few days and i've been a mason for 30 yrs. Amazing shit right there.

An arch supports itself ONLY after each course of brick is complete. The reason the bricks are not falling before a course is complete is all in the mix. Nice rich mortar with some additives. The amount of water in the mix is important too. Also the type of clay bricks they are using will suck the water right out of the mortar extremely quickly, especially in hot sunny weather. So the mortar is bonding/drying almost immediately after a brick is set enough to the point where it will hold. The application is obviously important too. Set tap and go. Play with it too much and u can break the bond. The most impressive thing to me is the fact that they are basically free handing this whole job. Doesn't look like there's any lay-out or guides. As far as cutting the brick, it's actually not that difficult to break a clay brick with a trowel if u know where to strike it and which part of the trowel to strike with. The cut also doesn't have to be perfect as the mortar joint will give u some room for error. Def can't do that with a solid concrete brick though lol. Extremely impressive work here

This is totally Mexico lol. You don't see ingenuity like that here in buildings. He is shaping the bricks with a flippin trowel for god sakes. Amazing.

Look again, notice that they have interlocked steel reinforced concrete beams above all 4 walls, so when this dome made of bricks set hard, it becomes as one single structure along with the 4 beams and since they are tied at each corner with steel reinforced bars, the whole structure becomes as one single entity, so any movements within the walls will not effect the roof dom. Clever design, strong, earth quake resisting for sure. The roof can only fall if the walls crumble first, which if they do then no matter what type of roof you have will also crumble down.

holy... such great skill.

I've only seen one in my life and my stepfather did it. He did it in a herringbone pattern. I just watch in amazement. He was a Master and forth generation Mason. There wasn't anything he couldn't do. You name it he did it. I remember one time they paid him big money to do a special stone job and only he could he do it because it had a special pattern for the stone. Another time the Historical Society came and waited 2 months for him to do a fixer upper on a George Washington home in Virginia, and when he was done you couldn't even tell. It looked as if those brick were laid in the 1700's. He was amazing. Sonny has passed on now but he was amazing.

That's a really nice quality feature in a home.

That method is probably ancient btw. When complete the ceiling is kinda self supporting its weight by focusing it in a single point in the center and if build correctly could outlast an earthquakes
