    I could watch you work non-stop! It’s humbling to watch a master plodding along and chewing through the work. Your brickwork is as close to perfection as exists!

    Must be an absolute minimal curve on that wall, Rob. Looks all but straight from the angle of the camera.

      There's about a 15mm in 1m camber on this section. At the other end it was 46mm in the span of a 2300mm arch

    Rob, you need to try the elastic lines I use in this situation, saves using the level 👍

    What pointing method do you use there rob and what mix is the mortar what sort of guage do they work out as in mortar bed thickness
    Looks awesome 👌

    • @robsonger1
      @robsonger1  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hiya, we use a weather struck joint, the mortar is a 1:3 hydraulic lime, the gauge is close to metric, using an 8mm joint

      @robsonger1  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      these are Imperial Reds from HG Matthews, but we also use imperial bricks from the Imperial Brick Company, Bulmer Bricks and we are now looking at Sussex Brick as well, all of them are good, but the prices vary greatly, so check them all out before you choose.

    All the positive comments are from people with no masonry experience, believe me laying half bricks and placing the level on every single brick is not a good habit to have as bricklayer. Using a masonry line is much more effective!

    • @robsonger1
      @robsonger1  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      ummm, please take note of the title of this video, 'Courtyard Update 7'.. 'Curved English Bond'
      the whole of the courtyard is a horseshoe shape with a varying radius, the section you see here is on the slightest. May I suggest you watch the previous 6 videos which lead onto this one. Thank you

    set up quick string line, so much faffing about with levels and more difficult to correct mistakes as everyone is a learner even when a professional

    • @robsonger1
      @robsonger1  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      yes we use plumb lines a lot on what we do, but here the run is so short that any lines would make using a level very difficult and there was no easy way of fixing a template above us to run a line to, so this was the most effective way. Please watch the Octagonal Chinmey stack and the Dodecahedron Fireplace to see us using plumb lines. Thank you for watching.
