    Good technique! Radius brick used to be made here in the states in various sizes. That's all gone now and 90 degree is the thing because it costs less to get done. Artistry is a thing of the past for most construction unless the owners want talent. Radius stoops and hearth inlays are a real challenge and you've done a fabulous job of reminding us of the old ways. Reminds me of what needs to be done to get a great job done correctly. We here in the states will leave weep tubes placed in the joints of the first course, about every 5 head joints or so, 3 cm above ground level, but even without them a step/stoop like that should last a good 40 to 50 years without maintenance. I have 30 years in the trade and appreciate you showing the younger folk how the Romans did it with sticks and dowels on their ground. Thanks! Bricklayer's Local 5, Cleveland, Ohio, USA!

    So beautiful, I just adore brickwork! Thank you for sharing your skills! I love watching vids like this, they not only teach me things and inspire me, but give me the confidence so some day I, too, will be able to try something like this.

    Very nice skillset. The freehanded cutting is impressive. I am a little lazy so I do your miter joint jig setup on a 10 inch tile saw. Really good looking work!

    It seems like there's a lot more work into laying bricks than I thought, this is amazing to watch.
