    Man love this video. Wish there were more like it on TH-cam. Miss the music that used to be on it. It is relaxing watching this guy. We lay over the line but I love the way he lays. I’m sitting on vacation watching him lay 12s like poetry and just chillin. Mad respect. Smooth brother smooth!

    I've done stucco masonry for over 20 years and I dable in learning block. I remember seeing your video years ago and I keep coming back to it to see your poetry in motion. You were made for this trade brother. Is that wrist trowel action to get the mud to stick on first swipe or is it a rich mix mud? I have to know the secret to that please.

    • @SolidworksUnlimited
      @SolidworksUnlimited  ปีที่แล้ว

      It's both, but if you don't have good mortar in the trade you still have to be able to make it stick to be effective and fast. Type S mortar is a lot better than type N maybe that's part of your trouble getting it to stick.

    I'm curious as to why no mortar in the middle section of the brick though? I'm not questioning this guy's skill, its obvious he's a pro! Just trying to learn why he isn't battering up the short side of the brick (along its face, and also top and bottom)? You obviously save a lot of mortar, but wouldn't it be stronger to cover the entire surface of the two bricks touching side by side?
