Great way of teaching. Nice to learn the angles, and approaches to getting the mortar just right. Haven't done a lot of bricking but always have trouble with buttering the ends and wondered why. Now I know. Thanks to the best bricky ever.
Well done Stu, I've watched two of your videos thus far (The "How to lay bricks for beginner") and this one. I thoroughly enjoyed them both, and they kept my attention span throughout. Well presented and explained including the pitch, tone, and pace. Well done bro. Now looking forward to catching up on the rest. I've learnt a lot and a refreshment follow up to a course I took several years ago. Thank you.
There is a wonderful art to skilled bricklaying, and I really appreciate your very detailed guidance here. This is such a useful skill and I very much admire anyone who can do it well. Thanks.
Thanks and GOD BLESS you for sharing these insights with us, especially the DIYers and amateurs in days when it is so hard to find a bricklayer. Keep these videos coming as I have been able to install coping stones over a brick wall. Now I just have to complete adding 64 blocks to my front wall to make the pillars (8 blocks above the existing wall laid flat 2 each level).
Thankyou Stu. Your video is absolutely brilliant. Really have learnt so much from watching. Looking forward to building a wall in my garden. You have given me the confidence to do it. 👍
Hello from Florida! Love your videos man I always wanted top be a brick layer! But never got around top that.. yet Haha and I just love watching and learning from you! Keep on keepin on and keep up the great work stu!
Really good explanation, I’m interested in bricklaying and it made me understand clearer. Loving the videos, Could you do a video on how to measure area and calculating how many bricks you need sort of when your working out materials... thank you for videos
Hi Stu, big thanks for another excellent video! I'm subscribing your channel for a really long time, the quality of your video's is simply amazing for a noob as me, could you record some video tutorial how to build the cavity wall and use ties, insulation etc. Thank's a million!
Your videos are awesome, Stu. I have no idea what I’m doing but I want to learn, and your instruction is top-notch. Easy to follow, great amount of detail. Thank you! When you’re done with your practice “stack,” do you tear it down immediately or is there some cool trick to clean it up after it sets? Might be a dumb question but I figured I’d ask anyways. Thanks again!
Brilliant Video Stu! Love watching your content. Given me the confidence to do some repairs to a garden wall of mine. However I can never get the mix to be as "smooth" as yours? 4:1 with plasticiser and some water. But never spreads the same as how your mortar does. Also find that if I place a brick (engineer brick) and try to tap it down to place, if I then try to remove the brick to redo it, the compressed mortar feels like it lost lots of moisture and can't be reused. Is that normal? Thanks, really appreciate all your great content and hope to learn more :)
Hi Stu, thanks for this video. I would be interested in watching a video from you about different brick types. What are the different types of brick, and what are their different uses? What's the difference between a good brick and bad brick? Cheap brick Vs expensive. Just a suggestion for a future video. Cheers
Nice job, Sir I have a question, my question is that necessary to make the brick fence double? Because I used to see some bricklayers join double fence,, thank you
Hi Stu, since Christmas I now use a Marshalltown trowel like yours but it’s got a funny coating on it which the mortar clings to. It’s starting to wear off and the uncoated part is much better. Any tips on how to get it off quick or does it just come off in time with use?
How do you calculate and maintain the dimensions and length of a Brick Wall? How are the dimensions and length of a Brick Wall arrived at so that it will work out to a perfect number of whole bricks without having to saw or to shorten a brick or having to plug a two inch hole at the end of the brick wall? As you are making the first run of the Brick Wall; placing brick, mortar, brick, mortar, brick, mortar; how do you keep the length of the brick run in compliance with the theoretical length and dimensions of the brick wall? A slight increase or decrease in the width of the mortar joints will increase or decrease the overall length of the brick wall causing you to saw or to shorten a whole brick or having to plug a two inch hole at the end of the brick wall.
You have not showed rebar in the wall is it necessary or not. If yes why and how. Please guide me. I am confused by watching few videos where builder build the wall and it fall down with one push while they were planning to make roofing 😮
Been looking on your channel as it's pretty in depth content (Brilliant btw). Can't find anything on laying blocks onto an existing concrete base. I have one from the previous owner but it doesn't look level. I was thinking about building my own shed. As wooden and metal ones are crap.......help......please .
What do you do if you have to rebuild an old wall, with built up levels either side of it, say concrete one side and a patio and concrete steps/path the other side? Do you need to smash everything, to bring the levels down and relay the foundation footing?🤷♀️😭😭🤣❤️
Use your trowel to smooth out the top of your mortar pile then with the tip of your trowel make about a 3 inch long slice into the mortar then push your trowel under the slice and push down on the handle of your trowel slowly to bring up the tip of your trowel that's under the slice. Your welcome.
I'm a bricklayer and I'm just wondering if you have any jobs going all if anyone else needs work done can you recommend me all anything like that. I don't know as I'm just trying to start a business up. As I'm a good handyman. and I can do most things in construction. Thanks Jamie Pocketts
I'm 35 and in desperate need of getting out of my dead end office job and find myself drawn towards bricklaying. Is bricklaying a good career? Is there much money in it? Is there still work out there
It depends where you are in Ontario they need bricklayers so they’ll train you. If you join a union the full rate bricklayer can make a little more than 100k a year
Love is best. Life is best. Forgive is best. Life forever. positive thinking is better. Give Life. Create Women. building house Canada. Love is better.

I'm young & learning, I have a question if it's ok, Can I use clay three holed bricks to forge metals or is it a bad idea ????
Tenks. Good job. Tenks fron Spanish.
🧱🧱Thank you for the lesson 🧱🧱
Superb
Hi Stu, are you taking any jobs in Warrington? Thanks.
Could you show how to mix mortar by hand please obviously with a spade
What size of trowel do you recommend for beginners?
Marshalltown do a 10, 11 or 12 inch, London, Philadelphia etc.

Doing my apprenticeship and course the thing I find difficult is the trowel having command over that is hard man.
