Laying a brick wainscot on a single family home from start to finish.
First we talk about bonding out our wall. 1:30
Next we cover building a lead. 6:40
After the lead is built, we move on to filling in the rest of the wall. 13:50
Once we get the wall up we finish it up with a sill. 19:55
Once the sill is in we put on the finishing touches. 28:55
WOW! This guy is good! One of the most important points that he makes concerns furrowing. Although furrowing is taught, practiced, and accepted as the "right" way to lay mortar, he explains exactly why furrowing is forbidden by many architects and engineers. Just remember, neither bricks nor mortar are water proof. Both bricks and water absorb water. If anyone ever tells you that you need to furrow your mortar, just refer to the points that he makes: 1.) Furrowing does not fill the holes in the brick, and 2.) It creates a horizontal void that is ideal for collecting water, which is exactly what destroys brick work over time -- especially in areas of the country where we have a melting and freezing cycle in the same day (Colorado, Wyoming, Montana --- places that I have lived and worked). The water collects in the day time, then it freezes at night. This causes the water to freeze and expand, which then causes the joints to crack, which then lets in more water, which eventually leads to crumbling of the brick work.
Stumbled across this by accident. I'm always amazed when I watch professionals at the top of their games. The guy was out there in a sweater and collard shirt and not an ounce of cement went anywhere except exactly where he wanted it to. Amazing talent...
My guy got his gold Rolex on while laying brick is the level of Manhood I’m trying to get to.
I would have that thing scratched to hell in less than ten minutes if I tried that while wearing a watch
I know I am kind of randomly asking but does anyone know a good website to stream newly released movies online?
@Kelvin Spencer i watch on flixzone. Just search on google for it =)
@Caspian Noe Definitely, been using Flixzone for months myself =)
@Caspian Noe thank you, I signed up and it seems to work :) I appreciate it !!
You have helped me, at 73 not too old to learn. Thank you, and GOD bless.
It's 3 AM and all of sudden I want to watch people laying brick
I love internet
I'm always amazed by the skills of a bricklayer. Most people don't recognize how many hours and years it takes to possess such skills. Great video. Thank you for sharing 👍🏻
I have been watching these videos and this person has a lot of knowledge and knows everything about this art I have tried to lay bricks and I'm terrible doing it and I can see that his hands produce not walls but a work of art and I'm just so happy that he is willing to share his knowledge with people like me and hope that his art can pass to future generations
Really enjoy watching you lay brick and instruct while working. I am going to do a brick pillar job soon and am ready to begin. Level, plumb and straight; great advice. Thank you for sharing your skill, knowledge and patience with us.
I'm in skills USA and I love watching these videos. I got silver my first year as a mason. Keep up the tutorials!
I randomly came across this video and now I want to be a bricklayer.
This is the best demonstration of bricklaying I’ve seen, perfect for a novice like me! Thank you ;-)
Your welcome!
9:10 "And now we're ready to continue our lead" SPLAT 😆
Thank you for showing. The speed of teaching and explanation is perfect.
Nice looking compo. It's quite different to how we do it in the UK and I don't concur with the furrowing point as I have never seen voids in beds due to it, but the job is great. Clean, plumb perps, nice brick and mortar.
I love how the last brick at the end of your fist line fit like a glove just like you said. The mark of a true professional who knows his craft. I started in construction at 16 and have seen my share of the best. Love your craft and your desire to share your experience with those who appreciate it. Please ignore those who engage their mouths before engaging their brains. Your a master and I love your work please do more
A great teacher. Lucky for the apprentice that serves his time with this man.
I’m no master mason. But I’ll tell you what.
Wanna know how good this guy is?
Look at his sweater at the end of the video, spotless! Master at his craft. Thanks for sharing your knowledge sir.
Many years ago I lived in a brick house built in 1948. The brick was backed with veneer block wich was also set on the top of the foundation. The only problem was the small front porch and steps. The joints failed and I had to clean the bricks and relay them. That chore took me two or three days because I had never used mortar before. I dropped the steps about 1/4" to the front so water would drain out. 55 years later the bricks are still holding.
I love the sound of brick and cement mixing, especially when he rakes it!
Done this for years with my papal, you make it look easy like he did
One thing for sure when I was doing this type of work, I was a lot healthier and a lot stronger working outdoors with this type of work. Then found a desk job and health begin to decline. So those cinchy desk jobs may sound good but in hindsight this type of work is way better for body and your mental stability.
What about my back, knees and hips? Started at 18 and 56 now almost 40 years of construction. Pays very well but physically demanding.
Thank you very much, sir. I appreciate your teaching style! It's not as easy to do as it looks, so I had to come back and watch again a few times, but my work has improved since I began watching your videos. Cheers from Indiana.
My wife worked for Local 1 in Norfolk, VA. She coordinated the apprenticeship, and kept score at the trade school competitions.
My God Man!!!! This guy's skills are God Tier. Such precision and well illustrated..... piece by piece brick by brick...... he is indeed a pro and i want an entire brick house but i want to learn and build my own house from scratch. Thank you man you are awesome i hope you skills get revered forever
everybody just needs to slack off on the hateful comments, do yall really think he would lay like this on a daily basis? he is going slow and showing detail to help people learn why is everyone so hateful?
I totally agree, I enjoyed learning from this video. We can get enough hate and insult comments from FOX news and other sources. Like Trump and his ilk.
i agree he would b moving a lot faster
Americans make a decent trade out to be something its not
Exactly people can be so solid and unappreciative that hes doing this vid to help others who have little or no knowledge.
Very good tips. I can use those on my jobsite. If he doesn't do it your way, oh well. No need to be haters.
This guy does everything the same as we did including the setup,layout, and bricklaying.
We did our ties a little different- bend tie at hole near end less than 90 degrees- place on top of wall -tie will extend beyond face so it needs to be bent back making sure that completed bend is 1/2” inside of face of joint- remove from top of wall and hammer bend flat.
Make up several the same way on setup plank. Use 8 galvanized nail and locate nail slightly above brick and drive slightly downhill. When nail is too high tie will flex.
great video.
😁The man!!! Detail instruction you make it look so easy🤷♂️👌👊🤙
My Dad was a master bricklayer for well over 50 years. He always tapped the wood level and swore by wood levels.
You sir, are an excellent teacher. Thank you.
a true artist, they make it look so easy, I've laid brick once and it was a nightmare, I had morter everywhere but the joints! the one thing I don't like here is the fact the holes show around the window. wish they had "solid" bricks for ends.
Jason King yeah when I lay the windows I don’t leave the holes showing at all
My kind of mason.
Or brickie as we say in Australia.
All the best from down under.
Guy makes it look so easy most people won’t even realize how good he is...he could go to Xmas dinner in that outfit after a days work 😂..craftsman are few and far in between these days
Lol yup right, reminds me of me and my pops. Clean masons, our Dickies were starched and pressed... lol
What is it Xmas? May be you mean Christmas?
My grandpa was mason my dad is mason and guess what I’m a mason and you can say what you want but the guy knows what he teaching and does a good job
Excellent video--clear and concise explanations of proper techniques...! Great stuff! Thanks!
In uk we call it grinding and bumping to work the guage we work in mm as well.
yes, it does add to the home. personally, I like the tooled look over the raked look.
I've been in construction and don't recall seeing that type of tape measure. He's good at teaching. My problem was keeping mortar of the face of the brick.
I’ve learned alit from this person learned how to build some mailboxes and my outdoor kitchen
That is awesome!
This is relaxing
What an art.
GOOD INSTRUCTIVE VIDEO. TRULY A CRAFTSMAN. DEFINETLY NOT A BOOT.
Very nice and cleaned layout,
superb! He is great! I wish he did house calls. Lol! I will probably make a mess, but i am determined to give it a try.
thanks ive been a mason 40 years usually we made our seals 5/8 at the bottom that way no holes but im not criticizing just making an observation your brickwork looks good
Great instruction, dear sir.
Thank you!!
Great teacher and entertaining to watch. I thought the furrowing was to provide two 'edges' for the brick to lay on, better than laying on a hump! But I take onboard the comment about why the frog is there, even though I reckon the trapped air would prevent full engagement of the mortar with the frog.
Thank you for sharing your expertise. You are a legend.
Good job. U right on the furrowing
What a pro
Although I did hate the chip gone out of the face of that second sill brick 🧱
But the guy is excellent and a great presenter too
Thank you
Very well explain for people like me which I never laid a brick in my life but i will try to do a garage for a car ... probably I will finish in 3 months
Thank you once again
I remember learning with the tool when I was around 7 years old with my brother my dad would take us to work with him now I'm 23 and rep father &son masonry
Well Done!! All of my questions have been answered!! Very patiently presented!! Now I feel like I can do some practise courses!!!
Amazing sir
Thank you god bless
Never knew so much was involved in laying brick.
Great tips ... I am confident now for my first wall!
Nice work pal Manchester England
Great, informative video, sir. Always wanted to be a stone mason. Kind of late in life but great to know.
I loved laying brick
he is a very nice man
Andy zx9 all brick layers are assholes don’t be fooled
I am learning masonry and I was told you should not tap or hit your level.
Levels are instruments no tools.
+Ana Hg Im a grouindworker and i never ever hit my level as its too much money to replace!!!
A spirit level should last you your whole life
Not a problem if you've got a stabila
+Ana Hg buy Crick and u can do it,no problem, not at vials level though
If your level goes out of whack when you tap (not hit) your level, get a better level. And if you say levels are too expensive, find a better paying mason co.
If you tap your level all the bricks come to the the straight edge you don't have to hit it with a sledgehammer masonry levels a pretty rugged the handle on your trial works just fine don't mean you going to kill you level
very good mason very smart man
Nice watch
Here in England we call it muck or pug. We use sand and cement. when on the occasions we use lime and sand its called mortar.
I just noticed that hes using an english pattern trowel in the US, here in the uk all the boys like using Philadelphia style trowels
I dont know why i always come back to this video! i enjoy your videos! but no need to tap the brick 😉
Thank you
that guy is a veteran bricklayer most of you will never even get half as good as he is I've been laying for 30 years but I don't even know if I'm as good as he is and I'm damn good
Looks shite when you compare him to British layers
New Jersey Mason LLC can i run the strinline on the inside?
Can i run the line in the inside
U am starting to learn masonry and it is a pain in the ass to learn to lay brick it always comes out in even even when I do make sure I plumed the wall or chimney I can't understand!
I don’t know, that window seal looks a little rough I’ve only been laying 5 years and I lay better seals than that 🤷🏻♂️
Superb instruction.
UK standards are different to us. However it doesn't really matter taping or rubbing bricks down into position. Rubbing is better.
One other thing. With timber frame construction you should leave a gap under the window sill for shrinkage of the timber frame. The bricks won't shrink when the frame goes down. the window sill/ frame will push up on the bricks which can lead to leaks around the window
Great video!
I like this you can be my teacher good job
u r a great teacher. good work
I'm a programmer but I found myself just obsessed with this video.
Esta muy bien maestro ya quiero aprender más de albañil yo también pego la drillo cuando me sale un trabajo no siempre
Dudes laying brick with a Rolex presidential on. #boss
damn you're a real smart builder. i watched this vid over & over & didn't understand a damn thing all i know i love this your art👍👍👍👍👍
Beautiful !
Great video
Good man keep do what you doing Thank You 🏗️🏕️🏘️🏘️🏘️🏘️
Wow what a tapper
Great video. I have not done this ,but I am not sure of the ruler use. I have to get a mason ruler. I do brick pointing and repair so far.
No damper? I couldn't tell if you put weepers in. And what's the point of the paper if it doesn't extend past the top of the brickwork to be covered over top by the next trade? Maybe it doesn't rain where it was built.
I shouldn't even watch this video. The real experts are here in the comments. But none of them post videos. Strange
RUclips always has an army of sofa warriors and X perts
@@tictaktico eeeeehhh if you have worked in the construction in decades, is not exactly at the sofa.
Funny how I never see people trying to film on the job site. Probably because everybody has work to do.
Not all Bricklayers ( like myself )want to post videos . You have no content but still comment.
@@mikaelgaiason688 exactly . I lay bricks to make money , not for ad clicks on youtube lol.
Nice work sir, gotta love those magic twigs, also interesting to point out that no brick are alike and how you adjust as you go, the overall end result looks pretty good. Thank You
Very helpful, your only as good as your last job
buenos videos
construcción
Level tapping or not -- I think it looks pretty dang good.
Looks like fun
Am I missing something? There's no window flashing, and the building wrap doesn't go past the top of the bricks a few inches either. And what about leaving weeps along the bottom course?
The guy who has to replace that dryer vent is going to be cursing you because you didn't wrap some foam around the pipe, according to Mike Haduck
Gracias amigo, you great...
A retired union bricklayer of 37 years told me the secret of this business “one on top of two”. lol he’s a great guy.
21jtk union bricklayers are pussies
Very impressive especially with those huge gloves on lolz
protect your hands they need to last you a lifetime!
@@learntolaybrick I concur.
I always use a line to tail my leads to the other corner incase the concert is off any
This dude is awesome!!!!
very nice
"Two of a craft seldom agree"
Need to see queen size brick laying for bond reasons they are 7 5/8×2 3/4
Should be outside the foundation for the concrete parging no?
Also, the header on the third course of that lead wasnt even touching the level. Gotta get down and look.
+beckner4200 He didn't butter the foundation side of that header either.
