Man I wish I was there. Laying out a old wall with reused bricks and hanging with your dad priceless. Awesome Stu. Enjoy and thanks for a great set of videos.
Fantastically neat job as usual stu ! Perhaps it would of been better to use hydraulic lime (nhl) for the build rather than hydrated as there’s then no cement involved in the job and more like the original build
Question please regarding patio doors being fitted as you have done them in previous videos. My question is I'm having a patio door fitted in 2 weeks, do you fix to a metal lintel above? Or is that a no no. Is screwing to either side of the brickwork sufficient to stop frames being loose and possible movement?
Nice 👍 I remember in the 80's working in Germany, there was me Dennis , Oz , Neville and Bomber we had to build a wall like that on a site in Dusseldorf.👍👏
Working with your dad is wonderful, I work with my son but I am angry all the time, we repair car bodywork but I wish I could be as chilled as KC, fantastic job though Stew
To eye the lines in you have to see both corners, how can you see down the lines of both corners on a curved wall. Genuine question, im open to learning.
@@Stucrompton1 You spot them through Stu . It ain't rocket science mate . Same way as using 'traveling levels' . Very acurate if you learn how to do it mate . I've done countless radius walls using this method . Trust your eyes . 🏴
Very interesting project, would be nice to understand how much a job like this cost… time , materials etc… you can leave out you profit if that going to be an issue 😵💫😂
I’m not a bricky so I have no idea 😂 but If I had to guess you’re going to rake out the old joints as well and point it all up together to match.. or leaving it all raked out..
@@Stucrompton1 Here's my guess. You're using modern mortar for strength and code requirements, but using historical mortar to point the joints for authenticity and historic requirements. Close??

What’s better than a new long Stu Crompton video 👌🏻
One from Stu Crompton?
There is nothing better than working along side with your dad. Moments will cherish for the rest of life. Master craftsmanship. Job well done.
Master craftsmen doing what they do best. Perfection!! 👌
Stu and KC it's looking ace! Actually love working with old bricks and lime motar. Going to look grand again 👍
Does KC not remember building that when he wor a lad Stu 😉, looking nice now 💯, lovely little 🐸 or maybe a toad 🐸💕
Another great video from you guys. Thanks and keep them coming soon. 👍
Nice to see you and KC back
It warms the technical heart to see workmanship like this.

Why are you doing recessed pointing on the new brickwork?
proberly to point in a weathershield finish
I was thinking the same perhaps we’ll get the answer
i have mentioned in the videos its being pointed john
Outstanding, lads. So glad I have re-subscribed to the channel! Looks incredible. 👏👏👏
Welcome back Jim 😃
I worked as a brick tender one summer back in the late ‘70’s to pay for my college education. A nicely built brick wall is a thing of beauty.
stunning work! great to see these videos back again Stu!
Just amazing with your skills and craftsmanship. Please teach more young people your skills, they need to have a value.
been looking forward to the 2nd. episode of this excellent video.

Nice to see the Stu Crompton trowel in action
Fantastic top bit of brickwork Stu 👌

Moxey?

Great work stu
how did you make the new bricks look old as the old ones?
You da man, Stu!
Nice to see it being repaired. Many others woukd be replaced with a fence!!
Thanks Stu another great video !!! The wall is looking spot on 👏👏👏👏👏🥇🥇🍺🍺👍
Cheers Chris
Master craftsman, you are so good
What is the name of the tool you use at 3:51?
We call them story poles.. love the work you guys do..✌️

Lovely hearing the birdsong.
Is that the old English garden wall bond there?
Looking good Stu looking good 👍

Korean bricklayer is rooting for you :D

We argue like car and dog it’s just not recorded. 😂
@@Stucrompton1 put it on because he's getting all the plaudits...build up your street cred ha ha
i have done a few times, its a good laugh
Is it a true radius or a french curve or accelerated curve?
its a true radius neil
When you do work like this fixing old and matching that's what craftsmanship is looks great
I've seen it all now...using profiles on radius work. Are you scared of plumb points? 😅
Hi noticed you are doing Frogs down.. any reason for this other than saving Lime mortar??
I’m matching up to how it was originally layed. I think it’s because the beds are so thin 3-5 mm that’s how they did it back then.
@@Stucrompton1 thanks Stu for the quick reply 👍❤️
That kinda looks like the entry gate area to a royal residence?
I'd have bent down every 2/3 course and eye'd them through . Different strokes for different folks I suppose . A ggod job Stu . 👍🏴
I have done that, trouble is you have to walk around the wall because the radius is that big so you can’t eye it in stood in one spot.
@@Stucrompton1 You can spot them through...... Trust me . I've been doing it for 48 years . Each to their own . 👍🏴

Black Rifle & Scope look to be the best option ?.
Very good!
Got the same boots.. worst I've ever owned , lace's are shite.
Stu's quality of work is on point as always 👍
Soon parkour guys will jump from this wall beautifully 😊
golden arm !
Hi I wondered what areas you covered for work I have tried to send you a email but it says the email address doesn’t exist 😊
Hi Maria you can email stucrompton@ymail.com cheers
@@Stucrompton1 yes I’ve emailed you was wondering did you get it ☺️
Very interesting project, would be nice to understand how much a job like this cost… time , materials etc… you can leave out you profit if that going to be an issue 😵💫😂
lime mortar
Hope they're paying double time for the bank holiday!
Bet kc is disappointed he’s got nothing to polish
Uk wild life again 1:58 🐸
By the way, it was destroyed like this because of second world war?
Hi Stu, what’s the reason for raking out the joints?
if you had to guess what would you think? :)
I’m not a bricky so I have no idea 😂 but If I had to guess you’re going to rake out the old joints as well and point it all up together to match.. or leaving it all raked out..
I also have no idea. Do you rake it out then add a mortar layer on top that's a better colour match?
@@Stucrompton1 Here's my guess. You're using modern mortar for strength and code requirements, but using historical mortar to point the joints for authenticity and historic requirements. Close??
@@Stucrompton1 you going to , sorry , is KC going to grind it all out and point it all to match ☺️😂
Hello sir please sponsor me
Where's your asian mate😊
U make litt look soooo easy 👏💪👌👍🤜😍😍
