@johnmitchell692 🤣🤣😂 ya banger

Absolutely tapped in the heed. See if you were gonnae call someone out you’d surely make sure you were right in the first place 🤪

No probs! I’ll be uploading some more long form stuff shortly I’ve just had a baby so I’ll be back at it shortly!

You’re welcome. I’m getting used to the editing now!

The Scottish Borders. How come?

Cheers ma pal!

Killer on the back and it’s not the finish I wanted but it looks ok I suppose. It’s straight but a couple of joint issues. I didn’t rebuild the full thing.

@@ModernPracticalStonemason when the shrubs and the moss creep over it will be lovely I reckon. 👍🏻

Thanks for the feedback 😎

You wasted your time commenting

He’s a good builder 😎

There will be. Also in the base course it will have a cavity fill mix.

I like broached with margins

I think I’ll stick to what I know thanks

and don’t forget to add plasticiser 😂 best is to cover the whole thing with black jack in the end 👌

Nothing wrong with a bit plasticiser 😏

Up until 2 years ago I hadn’t worked with a bricky before but I’ve had an opportunity to add this to my skill set in stonemasonry so because I’m fairly green at it I still love it.

@@ModernPracticalStonemason Always good adding tithe skill set buddy.

It sure is mate. I’ve been lucky to be paired with 2 brilliant brickies.

@@ModernPracticalStonemasonDo you know how Gay that sounded?!

Takes one to know one right?

I think that would’ve been a 5:1 with sharp sand and building sand

Aye buldin bloak

Cheers pal

They’re made in a factory I’m not sure I even know where they’re from!

@@ModernPracticalStonemason oh... Thanks for reply brother

You’re very welcome!

Thanks pal

Cheers

Thanks mate

Not bad for a first time 😏

I did not know this. I only ever go off of what I’ve been told in the past by tradesmen of mines in these videos so thank you for the detailed correction.

They ARE used in civil engineering to take levels as they will have a temporary bench mark (TBM) on site to take level from. This TBM will likely have taken it's level from an ordinance survey benchmark like we have here.

@jimtheudb thank you Jim!! I don’t feel so silly now.

I would imagine it is. It’s called an ordnance survey mark I believe

@@ModernPracticalStonemason El thicko here 🤦‍♀️ thanks for being diplomatic 😅 its still interesting though. I love maps too

@LizWarren-uv8pt El Thicko, absolutely not! Even noticing a thing like this proves you’ve an inquisitituve enough mind 🙂

@@ModernPracticalStonemason thanks. I live buildings. My dad was a slater sk im used to lots of different builder in the house growing up. He taught Mr the history if the buildings in Ayr, being born in 1929. Its just been my thing. The ordinance map is part of an original mansion, now in 3 houses. Its down at the step at the front door. The ordinance folj come to check it on occasion. Thanks 🙂

No thank you for telling me your story 🙂 I’m sure your dad done some good graft in his time.

It was used as a datum line, but was also used to mark military property, even on property such as roads, bridges and buildings, but even on prisoner clothing. Its origins lie hundreds of years ago. I once found one beside a Wade road near loch Morar. I believe it's sometimes called a pheon.

Thanks lads! I love constructive comments.

I thought prostitutes used them to Mark their corner/territory. That way during the day, punters knew as to which corner to call to when they became sufficiently aroused?

Well it used to be a fridge

I won’t consider myself a master until I’m at least in my 50s.

Hydraulic lime is breathable, also it would always be mixed so it’s softer than the existing stone. In this case whin stone. Much harder than even concrete.

Where is the Saint Mountain?

@@ModernPracticalStonemason Greece,Halkidiki, mountain Athos monasteries.

My wife said to me they also use Penetron with admix for the moisture!

This is really interesting. I’m taking the kids swimming but I will 100% be researching this when I get home thank you! And please give my thanks to your wife 😃

@@ModernPracticalStonemason I will... Thank you! It's a civil engineer and obsessed with the moisture problems of the buildings.

Thank you!

I can’t take credit for this, it’s the roofer I work with.

Thank you!

Hi mason

I try to keep it in the realms of what I’ve been listening to through the day whenever I post a short.

No problem! Thanks for your support mate.

You can get them on Amazon my guy! Where are you from?

It’s on a hill 😏

😂 ill mins that one

Mind*

😂😂

Cheers ma man!

You’re welcome! What village if you don’t mind me asking?!

@@ModernPracticalStonemason Greece, Serres, Hionohori (Χιονοχώρι).

I have a picture in my channel!

@@stergioserlooks absolutely stunning. Do you know of any Greek stonemasonry channels I could subscribe to? It’s hard to find channels when even the alphabet is different 😢

@@ModernPracticalStonemason I couldn't find any serious stone build channel. Only some videos from stone builders in greek without english subtitles. I type "χτίσιμο με πέτρα".
