Aussie here. And someone trying to learn how to lay Besser blocks (what you'd call "cinderblocks"). After creating my first wee wall at the weekend (8000x400mm), came to TH-cam looking for additional tips and tricks.
Firstly: your trowel guy. Work of art. If I could trowel like that, I'd die a happy man. Secondly, really enjoyed the clear commentary and camerawork. Voiceover guy does a great job.
Anyway, thank you for a really informative video. Good luck to all the amateur DIYers luck out there; may all your walls be straight and true!
Even though I know nothing about concrete or building walls, I always appreciate anyone who demontrates professionalism and expertise in their line of work. Good job 🖖🏿

... as math teachers say... *show your work*

These types of walls should be a requirement for people with big dogs that run through wood fenced yards
Just wanted to commend you on your no-nonsense style of doing these videos and your expert knowledge and instruction. Whether you know it or not, you're helping people really far away to bring their vision to reality. Thank you.
That's great
TY
There is no better feeling than watching people that know what they're doing.
I concur
thanks for the great video. my favorite quote "plumb is basically level vertically"
gregor deras
get it on
This is the second of your videos I've watched. Loving it! Keep teaching this woodworker to do concrete.
Paul Murphy
Sure no problem.
Do you fill the entire block holes with concrete
you make it look so easy, when in reality takes many years of hard hot days out there. My hats off senor

Amazing work. I love watching people who are amazing at what they do and take absolutely 0 shortcuts.
Me too
TY
Well one shortcut was maybe not smoothing out the top of the foundation. The concrete is more prone to rot this way i think.

Wow man another great job complete. I had no idea there were so many variables in building a wall like this. I learned many new things on this video. Thanks
Nice job for telling us how it is done in a simple way. We are concrete block machine manufacturers and I will show this video to our customers having questions about how to sell the blocks.
Great
TY
Yo your video’s are dope and I don’t even do concrete work. I love that you work with your sons. Peace,Love,Wealth,Health& Happiness to y’all

From Suisun City, Ca. enjoyed your video. I’ve been a Ready Mix driver going on 21yrs. I’ve delivered to many contractors throughout the years. You definitely know your trade.
Thanks for sharing
You have some good workers keep up the good work
TY
Good job on that wall and in the event of a tornado I would be the first one behind it with all that concrete and rebar!
I Concur
Luv your passion for your work with concrete I could listen to you talk all day.
Wow, thanks
Love the efficiency in the technique!
TY
it scares me to death starting from both sides , good job man
Avram David
as long as your plum, no worries
Avram David
TY
Avram David it all starts with your foundation if that's level laying from both ends isn't a problem get a string line check your block as you go and it'll be fine its way faster too
You cam always measure from corner to corner if you have doubts.
I really wish I could see the concrete get poured in too. Great Wall and perfect construction.
That's on another video
What's the title for that video? Did some searching, couldn't find a follow-on for this one.
This is mainly about masonry with some mention of rebars but in the early '70s I did a couple of years of rebar work on drainage tunnels, retaining walls and so forth; I'm often fascinated by the complexities of different kinds of construction work..., it reminds me of how ignorant I am about so many things. Good Work !!!
TY
I concur
Hi, I am an English guy watching from France. Thanks for your video, it helps me a lot with my understanding of what I am trying to do here.
great work. I've watched all of your videos and they are very helpful. I was wondering if you had any tips on cutting regular 6×8×16 blocks so that the wall curves or makes a half moon? I always have trouble with that and the back side of the blocks are usually to wide or the front side has no room to grout. same trouble with caps, they are usually not the same thickness apart or i end up not having any width to grout. if you have any tips I would appreciate it. Thank you so much.
John Mula
half blocks and get a radius point.
If there's space.
Odell Complete Concrete radius point?
very nice job
I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Very informative and entertaining. You and your crew do amazing work! Looking forward to the next video.
Ty
Great to see the pride in you work. This what needs to be past on to our youth.
Yes that would be nice
prefect wall
Armando Perez
TY
Wow great work, yet you make it look so easy.
Dan Opiyo
TY
Your videos and work are superb David.
One thing we do with vertical Rebar work is to put an end cap on all the stubs so we don't stick them in our faces when bending and working on the lines. I like the domed ones as they hurt less when i do a face plant on them.
Makes sense, nice trick
Impressive, solid and clean job ....
TY
Muy buen trabajo felicidades.!!
Walter Molina
TY
look good brother? when will you put up anymore videos I like the way that brick wall came out you could ask for no better. like they say a great Carpenter measure twice cut once you could ask for no better quick question when is any of your other videos are going to be posted I like to see the concrete work on this property that you're doing the outcome on that
JOE BILLINGS
We're trying out a new camera system.
I think you'll see.it in the next video
Very helpful. Very well done--both the wall and the video. Thank you.
TY
Wow this was very informative.....I'm going to have my backyard transform to a relaxing area but I need to level the foundation and put up a separating wall from my neighbors so after this video I got an idea of what's needed and how to start.
Great
GL
Hey wall looks great. I sent you a text with some pictures of my place in fv where need a wall built.
matthew kral
sounds good
Thanks
Did you get a wall built?
Beautiful job! What are the costs per foot?
50.00
David Odell does that include everything from prep to back filling concrete over the top of the cinder blocks ?
Your not doing block walls for $50.00 a ft.
Just saying
I wish you were here in Phoenix, you do some outstanding work that will last a lifetime. You pay attention to detail which makes the difference. My idea if I were to build a home would be the block being reinforced at the sides of all doors and windows, then at minimum every three feet down the wall. This would rebar placed in the cores at all doors and windows, then at 36 inch intervals or less. Then bond beams every two feet up the wall for 5 bond beams on a 8 foot high wall. My home I live in is 4x8x16 block and was very well laid. There is no bucking and weaving of the block, nice straight mortar lines. It was built in a subdivision around 1966-67. Because the block was so well laid, had I been the contractor, the masonry guys would have gotten bonuses for their work, you can tell they took pride in their job. I see it in your crews as well, attention to detail is so very important. Outstanding work!!
Yes that is a very good building plan and standard
You do excellent work,thank you for sharing that information.
YW
Hey David. Looks like when the concrete was poured you didn't level it. I'm guessing that's because your first row of block will be made level, which the rest of the wall will be built on.
Jesse Thomas
good guess
your right on
Thank you.
Jesse Thomas
I wet set the first row.
I was wondering the same thing but it’s interesting to see the first block get leveled.
Odell the master
Pete Bovenzi
TY,
Great to see how you guys over there build. Over here in the UK our blocks are all solid (no holes) Meaning we never use any rebar. We just do a 10mm bed line of mortar & to the perps. Nice work Chaps :)
wow that's some heavy blocks
I watched a handful of your videos and learned so much from you Thank You!
Though I did get dizzy watching & listening from 6:33-7:33
Yes I had a beginner on the camera and we are still learning and getting better, hopefully
Trump would be proud of you guys.
Yes
Odell Complete Concrete unsubscribed and paused the video can't watch a trump supporter
OshawaStateOfMind agreed. Same here.
Dramaqueen...
Yep, Even Trump would be happy with that wall. He still wouldn't pay you though...lol.

Just great
I love your videos. Real quality work and you explain every step.

Why would you think its bad..
I know a mexican who works at a farm here,gets 14$/hr..goes back end of summer.
He did this for 8years,built a school in his city...see where it goes when you think positive?!
Don’t hate the player, hate the game.
Absolutely professionals. Awesome job.

This is an extremely helpful video! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this!
Your welcome
Great Work. Great footage. Well done👏👏👏👏
TY
Love the videos, kinda went down the rabbit hole, starting with the 24' garage concrete job. All awesome, stay reasonable.
No doubt.
That's why it works.
Nothing like watching skilled craftsmen do what they do best. You and your crew make this wall look as easy as legos. Which anyone who’s ever worked with this stuff knows that’s the furthest from the truth.
I concur, takes a lot of practice to do this nicely
A very thorough video. Loved it!
ty
Great skill ... you’re an artist !!!
TY

Expert, Great STUFF !

Keep up the good work.
My neighbor just had one wall built. Wife has video of the builders break bricks and filling the holes were the steel is before they filled the blocks with concrete. He was upset because he wanted to hang a gate. Claims he's going to knock of some of the cap and fill with concrete. Now my father-in-law has hired these same guys to build both of my walls. He doesn't believe my neighbors because one of the builders is an old friend from the 70's. My neighbor wants me to make sure they build them right so I found your video. 4 weeks wall one and we have a one trench with rebar and nothing else. 8 weeks and nothing done for wall two.
Beautiful job fellas
