[@CForged]

I’m a generation X and I miss the greatest generation too. They were much better craftsman because of the way they worked with less cheats and gadgets

GOD Bless Brother...

Some of the still shoots, when it was laid out dry on the tarp, reminded me of back when I laid out my aquarium decorations dry. Looked real alike 😊
You know me, all I'm gonna do is compliment your job 👏🏻
Have a great weekend Sir.

The Axe is back! Yes...great job as always, Mike. Using the materials found in the environment, plus the price is right for that coral. I always learn new things from you and am glad to see you're staying creative.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Bill, Mike

[@DaveSender66]

Mike you are absolutely amazing?!!!! I love your approach to problem-solving. Watching you has made my carpentry projects so much easier. I keep hearing you saying no big deal just make it work, and that works for me!!!! Thanks again, Dave from New York.

[@janderson8401]

There is something very satisfying about shaping stones to fit using a hammer or a hammer and chisels.

Hope you are safe after the bad weather.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks jim,, doing fine, Mike

[@rbrazz]

Great Idea Mike! Thank you. Here they are putting ugly new fiv3-g water meters on the FRONT of homes.. Maybe this can be a solution for some clients. I might have considered adding a couple weep holes to the base for plant water run-off?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi rbrazz, is ok, but on the side there was room for water to get out, thanks Mike

[@dangates3022]

thanks mike i learned a lot over the years. from a soon to be old timer lol and im almost an old timer

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks dan,, Mike

[@TravisMartin030]

Really appreciate the videos, Mike. Bob Ross of masonry indeed. Except instead of teaching people how to paint moderately decent personal art, you're empowering people to save thousands or start in a necessary and dying trade.

Thanks Travis. I appreciate it, Mike

Great video as always Mike. I messaged you once before I lived in central Florida (Kissimmee) and wanted to know if I can use the same technique for painting with Portland here as you do in Pennsylvania? If possible could you do a resurfacing video for Floridians. Many of us have patios, sidewalks and driveways that need resurfacing. Love your old school simple but effective approach. Thank you.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi David. I have done it down here and it worked fine, it's a yearly thing just like up north in my opinion, thanks Mike

[@clintprice2123]

Excellent job as always. Question for you Mike, why didn’t you wet the pieces of coral as you put them into the concrete? Someone always said to do that 😉😆. I’ve put your teachings to use for my customers and it always works out just fine.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Clint, not in veneer like that, it makes a mess, thanks Mike

[@bonsaitree1350]

I’ve been to the coral castle. Maybe you could do a stone mason’s commentary on it sometime.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi , I did one years ago and did another but haven't edited it yet, thanks Mike

[@Traderjoe]

Usually you say to wet the stones if you want the cement to stick. Is this different because it’s coral? Coral is mostly calcium, right? It looked great though! Plus you can probably take it apart pretty easy if they needed to do sewer work

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Joe, I don't wet it for veneer, it would make a mess, but it's not going anywhere, thanks Mike

[@michaelboyle4553]

Thanks FindanDandy , Mike

[@andymauthe5508]

Nice project Mike! I like how you used the stone available in Florida for the sides and how you brought blue stone with you from Pennsylvania for the top! I’m not familiar with type M mortar. Is that similar in strength to type N? You’re leaning what works in Florida! Like you always say what works in Florida doesn’t work in Pennsylvania etc. watching from northwestern Pennsylvania!

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Andy, it stronger but for such a small job it's OK, thanks, Mike

[@jacobhillanbrand7988]

Mike you guys ok after the hurricane?

Hi Jacob, I am in Italy, but ok, Mike

Hope your place is clear of Milton.
Stay safe.

Thanks pls,, Mike

[@philindeblanc]

Nice work...Not like they did with the old world advanced technology pre 1800 buildings that we inherited and NEVER built with horse and buggy hand tools, as they are works of art.... but a darn nice planter! No big deal!!

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Phil, Mike

[@timothytoolman927]

Can you still handle those 80 lbs. bags of Mortar Mix by yourself ?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi timothy, not anymore, thanks Mike

[@chrisjarvis4449]

mike gave that up for 105 lbs woman

[@freedom8154]

Hello Mike. I have a brick step leading into my home. I bought a cast iron handrail but am worried if I drill into bricks they might break apart. Should I be concerned? Thanks! Enjoying your videos

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi freedom, hard to say, depends on how they laid them and how far from the edge, what type of rail etc, sometimes it's a plate that goes on top with small drill holes, etc Mike

How to make something from next to nothing by Mike Haduck. Or, it only costs a couple dollars to look first class. Stay safe down there with that storm rolling in Mike.

[@leoamattnet4822]

Could Honest Jardy's plumbing have relocated the pipe or are you outside of their service call area?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Leo, who knows as long as it works, Mike

[@nadavmihov]

Mike, if you had to build a tall wall from stone how high would you build before letting the cement set?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi madam, mostly depends on temperature but I usually did about 3 to 4 feet high, depending on what I was doing and what type of stone, thanks Mike

[@julianstorey2699]

Hi Mike, I hear there is a hurricane coming your way, I pray you will be ok.

[@MikeHaduck]

[@john2406]

👍

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks John, Mike

[@tex24]

I notice you're not wetting the stones for the cement to adhere better to. Why not?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi tex, with stone veneer or brick it makes a mess, the weight itself is sufficient, usually for stucco, patches etc, you wet it first thanks Mike

[@Guillotines_For_Globalists]

You got those plastic pots at Lowes, didn't you?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Gill, the girlfriend probably did, thanks Mike
