- In this video I teach you how I lay block to the string line. First I go into detail explaining how I spread my mortar on the wall and on the head joints. Next I show how I set the block and how I bump it around to be perfect to the line. I lay a couple more block explaining more about how I lay them. The last thing I show is how to close up the last block so the mortar stays in the block and doesn’t fall off. Thanks for watching!

I have been in construction my whole life, over 35 years on the job, and I must say, I have seldom found a block layer that didnt take pride in their work. I can tell, whoever taught Mason how to lay block, also taught him to take pride in his work. Nice job man!
Appreciate this, thank you!
Most of us truly love what we do
You can't teach someone to take pride in their work.
Hi, do we have to fill in all the blockholes or just the ones with the steel in it.coz my carpenter filled the ones with the steel in it.just wanted to know if it's OK or we have to fix it somehow
@@omoplata78 a great teacher definitely instills both skill and confidence as they instruct.
I’ve been a framer for 35 years. My Mason Is getting older and asked me to help him fill-in block this is a great tutorial video. Great job.
Everyone does things so different depending on where your located it seems. All the crews ive ever worked for in the southren US we always put the head joints on with the block off the wall. And when only a few corses high lay it with one hand holding from the center. As long as your bond is good and your plum and level no wrong way to go lol. Nice vid for ppl learning.
Great skill and nice job for a young lad. Who ever taught you the trade is very proud
Thank you for a terrific
lesson 👍
I’m Getting ready to add a row of block to an existing wall, First time , I just drilled the holes and epoxy the rebar dowels , tomorrow, I’m gonna use your technique applying mortar
Where I currently live in the Philippines they don't lay block like this, they use cheap 4" x 8" cement block and lay it quick and not in straight lines, but they do use reo bar.
However what they do afterwards is coat it with a layer of mortar/cement mix and use stringlines to get it straight both vertically & horizontally. Quite a skill in itself. U end up with a smooth block wall that can be painted over.
So what I did to eliminate this, was make my own blocks using a ratio of 5 to 1 sand & cement mix. But I added molasses to the water to harden the block when drying.
We ran a few tests and found the molasses better then super plasterzier.
Had to get some moulds made up and after a few goes at block making they have turned out good. 2 fellas can make around 200 a day using a single mould.
Might sound expensive, but u pay a labourer $15 a day here.
But now I gotto learn how to lay them and I find your channel is a good starting point for that. Cheers.
Top dollar trade job in USA
Great to see hard working young men. I hope this encourages others. Awesome Job
Thank you!
Good job explaining everything. I am about to set some block for the A-frame house I'm building. Thank you!
I'm about to lay my own block. Thanks for the video
Ive watched this twice an i learned quite a bit. Ty
was a helpful comment regarding being "ahead or back" - judging by the center webs.
I don't think that I would ever have the patience to do as good of a job as you are doing. Excellent video. I need to put a new back wall in a barn on my place, and I think that a block wall would be perfect for the application, but I doubt that I could do it on my own

Hey Mason. I'll bet you were helping your old man when you were a young boy. The trades are dying and with your youth you will do well for yrs to come.
I was. Not many people want to do this stuff. Good for me haha
Good work mason used to a lot Construction sites when i was younger im trying to get back into it
Thanks. It’s fun to build stuff
Great video. Thanks
Great job! Thanks for the video too.
You taught us and we all appreciate it!
Thank you!
awesome... i spread the exact same way. Good to see a young man doing some good hard work. Keeps ya good and strong. Keep it up man
Mason, thanks for the great video's. I wanted to ask for a future suggestion of a video on all the different block types and shapes. Include when to and not use. Noticed you were using two different types and curious if it is a preference or reason. Thanks!
Yeah I can explain that
Good job teaching Mason
Nice work young man you got skills 😊
Always a good one.
Mad respect for ya!
Thanks!
Hola amigo megustan tus videos también soy blockero pero se aprende más contu trabajo me inscribí atu canal cuenta con mi like saludos desde Tijuana 💪🐓
Great work 👍
Great work.
In Greece the builders lay the bricks with the holes facing down is there any difference from facing upwards?
Bro great video 👍 thanks
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Very beautiful and wonderful work. Continue. But I have some questions. Is this type of block made of cement and sand only?
Kinda look like Elvis😂😂 I like it, like the vid
right right!!
Question: Why are only the face joints mortared and not the ends or centers?
Bricks crack vertically, they will never crack horizontally along the inside-middle. As long as the faces are supported evenly the middle is negligible. They do fill the middle joints in for bigger buildings that use blocking, for houses it’s a waste
Why are you using 2 hands? I always laid block with one hand unless they were 75% solids.
Why are you backing up against your hand? Much faster to go forward like you're laying a brick veneer.
Why is your cut in the field instead of at the end of the wall? (couldn't see the end very well, but I think you had a full block on the left end).
Need a video on how to lay step up in a foundation
I have a dumb question. How do you know how light or heavy to lay the line?
What’s the detail where the block wall meets the existing wood wall w/ siding (looks like) - is there a metal tie? Or are they not connected? Thx
Usually, you drill into the wall you're connecting to and add a piece of rebar. You'll have to chip out the end of the block after you stick the rebar in the hole you drilled. You don't chip out the whole end of the block, just enough for the rebar to clear. Then, you fill up that part of the block with mortar.
Why don't you fill the holes with motor or sand as others do?
Without any rebar how can this be a retaining wall?great looking wall, but where is the strength to withstand a push?
He cut his finger on the rebar in the first few minutes. Rewatch and check it out.
@@lynnlovesmetal where is the horizontal bar? Should be vertical every 16 inches
Thank
Hey, I got a quick question , moved into a place got a heated garage and the one wall has cinder blocks showing and all blocks are hollow and has concrete floor on inside is it normal for them to be hollow?
They should only be filled 4ft on center
How many block can you stack before you have to worry about the weight making the lower joints tighter?
You can lay block to the moon. That's a myth that needs busted.
That myth is not around here in Arizona.Especially around the summer months.
You can stack them right up. If you notice the block suck the moisture out of the mortar immediately. I’ve never had to stop laying bc of that. Only time that happens is when it’s too cold and you shouldn’t be laying anyway
nice job. broke that down great.
Good job,how much did you charge for it?
Привет, какой кельмой орудуеш? Какого она у тебя размера? 12 дюймовая?
What's the best way to break 4in block ? I'm a Plasterer. Sometimes we replace Gypsum block with cinder block. But tge cmu's are a bit larger. So we have to break them to fit Sometimes.
Thanks
I use a saw most times. If you don’t have one I use a hammer and chisel
@@masonthemason6412 A grinder or a saw?
@@ATREZ0123 a saw
is durawall metal important for a small corner?
Hard to find help😎
That it is
Where are you located Mason? Are you taking new work?
Pennsylvania, I can always check stuff out
@@masonthemason6412im 45 mins outside pittsburgh if you want a small project? Cant get the local hack jobs to show up.
🤠🤙🏼
Why are you laying over the line? Pop your lead up put the line on the other side and burn that wall up by laying the block with 1 hand an a trowel in the other.
You are able to lift and set the block with one hand?
Line goes on the side you plumb.
I got some experience with Two Fingers n One Thumb
My thing is your laying over the line way easier to lay to the line
How about being a real Mason and picking the block up and buttering it in your hand you would last 3 minutes on a real job buttering blocks like that
A good teacher never uses the phrase "you'll figure it out as you go" during an instructional demonstration. Your task is to remove the "figure it out" factor from the job...
R u hiring? I lay block
Need a job?
You to much talk
Great video thanks 😊
