I've waited 23 years for someone to explain these majorly important, foundation bricklaying skills in such a simple and easy way. Amazing video and thank you for going over the basic in great detail.
What’s a good brand of plasticizer? I live in Pueblo,Colorado USA… Our main hardware store is lowes and all they carry is Sika, latex adhesive additive. I need some help…911!
im just working on the subtitles for this video i wont be long, i hope you enjoy all these new bricklaying tutorials guys and gals, going back to my roots and giving back to youtube as i have learned a lot from this platform myself. :)
Tried bricklaying for the first time today, I can really appreciate the fine skill it takes. Just poetry to watch someone who's good at it. Thank you 👍
My apprenticeship finished in1993, so I’ve been on the tools most of my life. Saw all sorts over the years, from brickwork artists, to as close as you could get to vandalism, without being arrested. You my man are without doubt one of the neatest bricklayers I’ve ever seen. Keep up the great work, respect from Scotland 🏴
Your a great mason and teacher! Most mason's are bully's to upcoming apprentices. My own Dad talked down to me. He was also a great Mason, but a terrible terrible teacher. He didn't have patience for anything, he couldnt do anything without losing his cool or temper, but for some odd reason though when he picked up a trowel and level, then genius kicked in, there was nothing he wouldn't tackle when it came to tedious brickwork, but anything else he was lost. I just wish we could have worked together, but unfortunately he and I couldn't. Great video man! All the way from USA!
Michael Shults ..it’s a shame your dad didn’t take the opportunity to show you with kindness, he has missed out on valuable time with his son, don’t take it to heart mate he probably was brought up the same way so he didn’t know, (old school ways) you can’t look soft or weak but be hard , stay focused and learn mate you can do it . 👍
Brilliant tutorial Stu, hats off to you. Many years ago, I did a beginners bricklaying night class at my local college, the tutor was a seasoned bricky too. The first evening class was similar to what you have just demonstrated. He gave us all a length of 4"x3" timber to practice laying the mortar onto and he wouldn't let us loose with any bricks until we could lay a neat bed along the timber without getting it all over the floor. You are a natural teacher Stu and a lot of folks are going to learn great skills in your academy.
What a gift Stu. None i have seen with such an amazing use of hands on how to play with a trowel. You are really an inspiring teacher. I have learned a lot in such a minute from your video. Keep up the good work and teach us more we will be great builders of our generation. Moses. Meadowlands South Africa
Thanks stu is I am a tree surgeon gardener but going to give some bricklaying a go in my own garden making a bar and bbq area out of breeze blocks , would like to say thank you for the videos as helps so much watching this
You’ve taught me more in 12 minutes than I was taught when my school sent me on a day release program for troubled students that was supposed to actually teach you how to lay bricks 🧱 did in the four weeks worth I did before I quit
The school sent you to get you out their hair! Maybe you didnt learn much there because your attitude prevented you from listening or concentrating, because you were still in a "school environment". You probably concentrated watching the video.
difficulty when you start on a course like that is in the first 100 hours you probably don't really develop many skills, you might gain a bit of strength in the wrist and your back, 1,000 hours and you would be getting there.
I got excited when I watched your last video yesterday and you mentioned starting the tutorial series. I’ve never laid a brick in my life but I’m going to try a small garden wall eventually and any hints and tips I get from your videos will maybe stop me making a complete hash of it. I’ve a desk jockey by day 😂💪🏻 cheers, can’t wait for the next one!
Brilliantly explained! I want to add something about laying hollow concrete blocks if I may. The sides of those are less than two inches, so what I do when laying those, is to take some mortar in a similar way to the video here, then slap the trowel down on the board, and then the mortar sticks to it better so that you can rotate your wrist anti clockwise if right handed, and then best way I can explain it is to scrape the trowel of the mortar along the outside edge of the block lowering the trowel as you go, leaving a nice small little toblerone. The same on the other side of the blocks of course and ready to lay. Again try it and experament and hope that might help somebody. Take care and God bless.
Excellent set up demonstration, I have been laying brick and block and setting stone for many years and these techniques are spot on great job man, you know your stuff. Highest Respect for you!!!
This is brilliant. I've started learning Carpentry and Bricklaying in College this week. It was my first time doing Bricklaying today and I learnt how to bond the bricks and use the mota and we built a little practice wall. Using the Trowel is hard at first and we was shown the Cut and Roll technique. You get the hand of it after much practice. Thanks again for the video 😁.
Have watched a few of these and I find them really easy to learn from. Good humour added which always helps but what an amazing bricklayer Stu is! really good a training videos!!!
Why do you not want the mortar spread evenly to the cavity side? Is it so the it is to ensure enough render is squeezed out to form a neat mortar line on the front? Also if I were building a single brick garden boundary wall, say 4ft by 12ft long. Do you usually cut the half bricks before hand?
Thanks for this pal, iv got a old window to brick up and the inside is going to be dot, dabbed over so no one will ever see it. This is the perfect opportunity for me to try lay bricks.
What mix do I use to practice? I have heard that the mixture only uses lime and sand, is this correct? in what proportions? Your videos are excellent, the best one can find, thank you, greetings from Argentine Patagonia
tried replacing some cinder block today. I'm 51 and never used mortar before. Thought I was doing it completely wrong because I was getting more on the ground than in the blocks. mine still looks like crap, but it's just a porch. If I was building a wall, it would probably fall down lol
After years of using Marshall town Philadelphia pattern I've gone back to a London pattern Nela trowel with a cork handle that I use for brickwork .....still use a 11inch Marshall town for blocks but the steel seems poor quality compared to the steel on the Nela , tap them both on a scaff tube and the Nela is still ringing 30 seconds later . Bit of a long way round the houses to ask if your going to do a trowel review video . Enjoying the videos and enjoying bricklaying again ....roll on summer .
Hi Stuart, s`funny you just talked about doing whatever you do / attempt to the best of your ability whatever it is because if I'm ever trying to get that across to anyone and how important it is to make your best effort and that you can't ever reproach yourself, I always say something along the lines of 'imagine you're building a wall, the most important thing is the base (like the first line you lay) because providing you take care and check things, whatever follows SHOULD be OK also, but if you lay the first line wonky everything following will be the same'. just a tenet I try to stick with.
Подскажите начинающему, какие пропорции делать для учебного раствора что бы можно было разбирать кладку и снова его использовать, глина или известь что вы добавляете? спасибо что делаете нас лучше!!!
Great video !!! Quick question: will i be fine building my summer house ( 7mx4m) on my backyard using just 100mm concrete blocks all around (single wall) plus door and windows. Then 45mm thick wooden frame inside on walls (all around) to put 40mm insulation celotex and then cover it all with plasterboards to finish it off. Then roof using thick sleeper's every 60cm. will it work fine or will it fall to bits? Thanks
Hi. How about a 3 brick width/deep garden wall ie two skins with bricks in the middle in same direction? Please. Hard to put middle brick in without moving outer bricks, then levelling AAAAGGGGHHHHH! 😄
Hi Stu do you have a Pattron account ? You should charge for this your bloody good at what you do . I should know been building for 20 years bricklaying and plastering . Brilliant work keep it up .
great work Stu, its the right time for you to do this now you have your presenting skills, I love the Toblerone, brickies are mostly visual learners, it was quite funny the Toblerone popping up each time you said the word! You should do more of this with pictures popping up in the corner, its a brilliant way to embed details, I also liked your analogy with the golfing terminology too. Can I recommend to you a radio show by Nick Abbott, he uses 'sound effects' in his shows and it is hilarious. I'm not suggesting you use sound effects but the pictures in the corner popping up at the right time is the video equivalent of a sound effect. Loving the languages, I have done this with my videos where the titles are in French or Spanish you pick up a different group of viewers, you are on the right track. I can tell you one of my videos has 1.2m views because it went viral somewhere in asia. Albañilería Lección 1 - Difundir mortero; 50% of the world speak Spanish then watch them videos fly. You need to put Albañilería into your video tags, search Albañilería and none of your videos show up, try it. I did.
Love is best. Life is best. Forgive is best. Life forever. positive thinking is better. Friendly peoples are best. it is better to be Christian. Bible is true. bless Australia.
Love the videos buddy. They are so good. Just one question, can a mortar board be anything? Ie-plywood, ect or is it a specific material? Asking for a friend☺️
Love the videos stu been watching for nearly 2 years and finally started to try bricklaying only for diy around the house / garden and I can never get my mortar to look like yours the ratio is right but it’s never creamy either looks too dry or too wet and is always watery pools under the mortar when the brick is on it please help
Oh but when you add it don't put in toouch water. Leave the muck in the mixer a bit stiff. Come back to it after 5 minutes you'll be surprised at the change 👍

Very helpful videos, keep them coming.
Great video, Stu. I’m learning a lot. Could you please do one on the different types of mortar and how to make the different colours?
You are the best

Привет! Покажите как делаете раствор для кладки?
Looking good
Great video tutorial Stu 👍
Love the videos buddy. They are so good. Just one question, can a mortar board be anything? Ie-plywood, ect or is it a specific material? Asking for a friend☺️
No probs mate. Better it be water resistant
Are your courses still running? Been on the website and says nothing coming up?
No due to Covid
Love the videos stu been watching for nearly 2 years and finally started to try bricklaying only for diy around the house / garden and I can never get my mortar to look like yours the ratio is right but it’s never creamy either looks too dry or too wet and is always watery pools under the mortar when the brick is on it please help
Do you use plasticiser in the mix?
Nah didn’t use any of that will that make the difference
Try it 😊
Oh but when you add it don't put in toouch water. Leave the muck in the mixer a bit stiff. Come back to it after 5 minutes you'll be surprised at the change 👍
You only need a large splash or two of plasticiser. About a quarter cup if that 👍
