Hi Stu--My name is Joe and I am from Ontario Canada. I have been in the trade for over 35 years "ouch". I like the way you use the trowel. You do nice work. I know we all work a little different and what have you but over all the end result is what matters.--Keep making videos and take care.
Tell you what Stu this vid is so much better with that base you made would like to see more of these vid's I would like to see an arch or a twisted pillar or a curved wall or some design with different types of brick with in the wall also keep up the great work and I enjoy to see what you bring us in the future 🖒
Looking good Stu , I do mine a bit different I use a steel 90 degree frame square and tape the size of pillars I’m building then don’t have to keep measuring ! We’re all different ! bit cooler in Spain today only 39 degrees , how’s the rain there ? Cheers Mike
Hi. Stu one thing I've found over the years people get grooved into straight line work cavity s.If you feel it's worth showing ,A lot people are weak at bonding brick various types of junction s 4 and 9 inch,also unsure how to deal with reverse and broken bonds.Ive seen it ,where people have been asked on site to build a pier but didn't volunteer or won't to,because they had not really done much of that kind of work only in college maybe 5 or 6 years gone.Seasoned brickies no problem s. Just an idea Stu even just lay out dry on your set up slab and show the cut bricks / closures /bats butting up and tie in .As you know most lads can do straight runs,I think it would help your views more. Abit long winded just an idea. All the best.
Can you do some basic fireplace details? I'm learning too and the videos are a great help! Thanks for the work you put into the videos. Hanover, PA USA
hola!! soy de Argentina, aqui es posible conseguir el tipo de ladrillos pero quisiera saber que tipo de mortero usa usted, ya que la textura y el color es diferente a lo que usamos aquí..gracias muy buen trabajo.. saludos
stu crompton HI Stu, hopefully you see this ,. can you do a video of this please and show how to do the damp proof course I’m going to build some pillars for my driveway I’m going to do myself next year , they’re for the gates . Thanks p.s love the vids keep it going 👍🏻.
@@davewatson1919 I personally wouldn't put a damp course in a gate pillar as it isn't necessary and it will cause a break in the adhesion between the two courses. Hope that helps. Bricklayer of 40 years.
Hi there stu loving all your videos and good taste in music very peaceful and a big fan of you now you genuinely seem like a very decent chappy. Can I ask please were I can source training morter from my friend please I know b&q do hydrated lime but not sure if it's that . Am really interested into getting into bricklaying. I've been watching your videos for a long while now. I have done odd small jobs just picking up on your videos. I am a carpenter and want to add bricklaying to my skills knowledge. Hope you can help you. Am in the UK. I live close to lots of building merchants. Thanks man. Update Stu Found your training morter mixer video stu looks like you have already answered my question on video thank again stu
42 brick pier, how long did it take you? I just built (6) 2'x2'x6'H piers (270) brick per column and was building 1 a day, drilled and pinned rebar into the footing and filled it up halfway with concrete working by myself, I'm just curious about how long the 42 took you, about an hour?

Yet again another expert who doesn’t show one of the most important things before building begins and that’s what sand and cement, lime, plasticiser etc.
Re-title your video, "A skilled mason laying brick" Not much in the lesson here, a great video but I was looking for a few shades of instruction. Not much, just a few. Trying to get even better at brick and masonry work and I'm always looking for more guys spreading their talent around. C-mon man, talk through it, anything, hell tell jokes about your sister, anything!
So glad you have returned to bricklaying videos. Useless at bricklaying, but love watching your videos.
This is the best brick laying Chanel out there.
cheers josh appreciate it
Oh wow! That's just what I was hoping you'd do - there's my birdbath base! Thanks Stu - I really appreciate it!!!
no probs :)
Your work is always so neat and tidy. Very satisfying to watch.
cheers james mate
Thanks Stu for another great video. I love your norvern accent and eagerly await for your next tutorial.
Please keep up the good work pal.
haha cheers mate thanks for watching
Another great video mate keep the good work . I'm a Brickie too and like seeing how other brickies work 👍🏻

Hi thanks for your video.
If you lay higher column, do you need raise steel bars in the corners?
Would you fill it with concrete as you build it or wait until it’s gone off 🤔

How did u clean ur brick just water??
Would you be able to do a video on how you did your training mortar?
What are you measuring for with the tape measure on the side as you build each layer?
Would you advise dampening bricks first?
Thank you Stu, that was great. What are the proportions of that training mix?
4 to 1 mate
Just sand and hydrated lime as in 4 sand and 1 hydrated lime? Sorry if that is a stupid question, but I know nothing and am trying to learn anything.
What is it about bricklaying that provides therapy? Love the process!!!
Love watching your videos 👍🏼
+cal hatton cheers cal

Very nice mate
thanks raz
Great skills
I'm 11 this is my dream job though
Dont work for a company tho
My mortar mix sets too fast. I can barely lay two bricks before its solid, but its still sloppy in the bucket. Any tips?
use engineering brick, they don't soak up water out of the mix so much
Good video mate
cheers bud
