I think construction workers other professions that are involved in building houses and other buildings need to be a lot more respected and praised, at least in europe it looks like those professions are considered like low grade
Templars yeah, i took a photo of myself in a lift mirror which ment something to the cult in cyprus so as revenge they ran the mirror from my bedroom which in the reflection was a blackman sitting there So in reality the sun was a front and used as a reflection for the thick sea cucumber on the left side of the square which the previous owner left behind when i moved from the flats 😂
An educational video with useful information and no stupid click bait or "projects" nobody is ever really going to make. Just a here's how to do it video. Thank you. Keep going, please! Only thing I didn't see were weep holes.
1:10. That sound brings back so many memories. My dad and Uncle owned a small family masonry company called Masonry Associates Inc in Chancellor, AL. I shoveled mortar for them in the summers. $100/week was big money for a 5th grader.
Another infomative video Stu. The last curved wall I built was in our garden. My wife wanted a lily pool based on a koi carp plastic liner set into a slope. After much head scratching I built a retaining wall up to the pool across the slope, sank and filled the pool into the slope, built a brick wall up to slightly above the pool edge then built steps up the side of the pool to access the garden above. I was able to build the brick curve by using a plumb bob from the pool edge down to the inner side of the bricks and back filled the space behind with sand. I finished the top with slate cut into voussoirs encircling the whole pool. The outside had to be rendered during Covid 19 and I couldn't get belcast beading so I put up some old garden hosepipe instead. Took down the hosepipe, once render went off, and marked out a horizontal line to trim off the irregular bootom of the render. My wife's comment after finishing was "What took you so long?".
Honestly lost for words on how you build Stu, the craftsmanship you have to design and build is what I aspire to be after I leave college, I've adapted my building techniques to how you build and honestly it's made me faster and more efficient. Thankyou for all your hard work to the industry and in how you teach others, I always learn something new from your content, keep up the hard work and stay safe, take it easy Bricky 👍
What I would do to learn bricklaying off this bloke. I'm on my third year as an apprentice and my boss just uses me for cheap labour. Just about everything I've learnt is from my weekends spent studying guys like this and practising in my own time
Don't let someone use you. 3 years is good experience you can go anywhere else they will hire you in a second. I just left a shitty job I should of did 2 years ago
Good job bud I like it , I notice that you lay just the right amount of cement, and your work is very clean too, Nice one !! When I took my bricklaying course back in the day , cement was all over the place 🙈 your work is clean and tidy !
You da man! I love watching your videos. You’re the guy so many young brickies look up to I’m sure. If you’re ever in Leicester in the future, I’ll service your Stihl saw for free!
I watch these videos transfixed, your overall finish is so beautiful and the general public understand the concept of good builders and cowboy builders but not as many grasp that not all builders are created equal and because they don’t have the quality of detail in their job they don’t realise what could be achieved when thought, pride, and attention to detail is all given its dues. I think you’re class mate, the standard of your work is exceptional. The caps you created for the pillar walls (are they pier walls?) were absolutely stunning, just beautiful mate. I’ve been in the building game for about 20 years, just a labourer, worked for chippies, brickies, plasterers, but mainly a plumber, but he did renovations, extensions, full bathroom and kitchen installations, the lot, so I’ve been primed to appreciate good work but now I’m a home owner too I have to say what you do is a cut above. I never knew I could be so mesmerised by bricks lol.
I lay bricks for a living and let me tell you, one of the most underappreciated trades there is. Especially difficult during our harsh Canadian winters. Keep up the good work
Did this for 13 years working my dad the foreman and master mason learn a lot miss this very much the time spent with him more then my other siblings lessons that ill never and passed down to my kids
Nice design Stu , like the way you tapered and stepped in at one end , adds interest to the feature . The arrowhead jointing to your cut B.O.E, draws the eye . Keep runnin with it brother.
I know I'm not alone in thinking that one day in the near or not so distant future a very, very lucky young man will find himself under your care and will become an outstanding bricklayer and he won't be treated badly. Dunno what the crack is up north but in London a lot of brickies - myself included - come off the hod and are taught on site. I've done my time but I always direct those who're still learning our trade towards your channel. I might have done my time but there's still room for improvement, hence why I'm here.
@@behroztaib2052 it's clearly marked out on the floor as an area to build in. This is what my college had for each student to learn. this is most likely the example piece for the students to copy. So no, not a waste.
Very informative.. though i thought we used header bond in curved walls.. but i guess stretcher can also be used. First yr arch. Student here.you make this look so easy. Thank you
I would have made my original line as you did, but as I was laying the first course I wound run the gauge around again and make sure I’ve got that accurate curve. Always scrape your mortar off with an upwards motion them mortar won’t keep falling to the ground. Also use a level on several plumbing points around the curve to get an accurate taper.
Hi Stu top notch, I really enjoy your videos, you are a very creative man and a joy to watch, a master craftsmen at work, keep Safe all the best Tony 👍
As a professional bricklayer I definitely approve this message! Although I wonder frantically the reasoning for making a wedge?! It's about making the less Cuts less work
Top notch beautiful music to mate, getting some great inspiration from you to which is important as I'm starting my new job Tuesday in ammanford, thankyou!
I never thought I'd find laying bricks so satisfying lol
Because you want to get out and do a wall like me
it's in our dna to wan't to build sh*t thats why.
Your getting old
:)
Try playing Minecraft, that should satisfy you.
That spec mix looks like delicious chocolate mousse.
Dude, I was literally about to say that 😅
i agree!!
Yes
Not the best stuff for the stomic🤣
Now I'm hungry for concrete
Patient: I feel tensed, my blood pressure is high and I have difficulty in sleeping.
Doctor: interesting, you need to watch brick laying video.
Exactly what I was thinking watching this. Great distraction from the stress
You know he's a pro when he makes masonry work look that easy.

@@Stucrompton1 All of my work mates and even 2 other Brickys I teach know your channel and think you're better than our tutor, their not wrong 😂
The pleasure of watching this hit me like a wall of bricks.
Hahahah! Awesome!
What a craftmen. You can see how much care he puts on those bricks and cement..
The real question is, why did he make it there?!
@@Lucky-et1jv Oh, makes sense
Really? Are You really questioning that? It's obvius its a small place to learn/show. It's obvius.
@@lucattsur Oh really? Must be as obvious as the spelling of obvious!

I'm a plasterer and a bricklayer too. You've got textbook technique. Enjoy your passion and drive. Good work brother.
The master craftsmenship gave me the chills ……..blessings from Washington DC
The way you furrow that mud gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.
First class workmanship young sir. Well done.
Hi Stu crompton and friends. Your video is very good your technique is very good. Very helpful to me
Title: building a curved brick wall
Video: literally building it
Dislikes: no i was expecting something else
You didn't know that theyre just bots
They expecting the one for war
Always a pleasure to watch a true craftsman at work. 👍

Don't give up amigo!
Use what you can. Learn what you can.
Success favors the determined and resilient 💪
I changed apprentice employer and continued elsewhere when I was younger
Very skillful. I truly liked the craftsmanship. Very good. I learned a lot from that. Make one more.
Good job bud I like it , I notice that you lay just the right amount of cement, and your work is very clean too, Nice one !!
When I took my bricklaying course back in the day , cement was all over the place 🙈
your work is clean and tidy !
nicely done ! i especially liked the detail work in the mortar of the top course . cool idea !
A simple thing of great beauty. Hypnotic craftsman at work. Thanks mate! 😎
You da man!

Those joints on top look beautiful.
I know nothing about bricklaying but this kept me entretained the whole time
Great skill!
But this is indoors in what looks like will be someone's living room.
Did you have to demolish this with a sledgehammer?
Yeah he did what. A waste

Wow! Dude you are very talented👍
