Brilliant work Rob thank you for sharing, I'm a bricklayer myself but your the most skilled I've ever seen not many people can do the range of things you can like all the different arches, spiral piers, ECT and be able to set them out from scratch. Top notch 👍👍
Thank you Paul, I've been so busy over the past year and also had camera issues so hence, little has been done here, but I'm now able to look at the last 10 months work and I'm also now back at the farm so more videos should....hopefully, be on here again, soon.
Been watching your vids for bloody years, still the best bricky on here... my god some of these line monkeys u see on here calling themselves bricklayers.....🤦♂️ brilliant as always Rob.
Stunning work, I find myself constantly watching your videos over and over again every evening, purely for the fact that I know I'm learning from the very best in the game. Ive only been bricklaying a few years myself so I'm trying to pick up as much as I possibly can but If I can get to be as half as good as the standard you set, i would be a very happy man!. Fantastic work 👍🧱
Absolutely the best trowel on RUclips. Fantastic brickwork with a mortar colour that really makes the feature stand out, keep posting the video's Rob they're a joy to watch.
hi i have been a bricklayer for 30 years now and just came across your channel, the plumb line through the peaks is an excellent trick i have done quite a lot of herringbone panels over the years but used a level to plumb through the peaks which i have always found quite tricky holding it against the brickwork and moving the brick each time to suit. i will be using your method next one i do simple quick and effective wish i had thought of it myself thanks mate
Just beautiful rob. Like said before. Such a talent and last of a great generation. “Learn your trade enjoy your craft” That’s certainly what you do. Stay safe.
Learnt something new. Always done herringbone with plumb lines but never used a set square thanks for that rob. I'll be taking that on board cheers great work
Lovely wall a amazing feature on any building and great explaination on the panel makes me want to go outside and build one,i think i might now i have plenty of time last time i did a panel it was at college in the nineties
Safe to say we are all glad your back Rob 👍🏼. Lovely job that . The other panels with the small cobbles in are very common in Lytham St Anne’s near Blackpool and the local area . See you soon on the next one 👌🏼🧱👍🏼
Hi Rob ... great job.. just a personal preference... think the flint work should be randomly laid .. not in lines.. to get that dry stone effect.. otherwise.. looking good Bud..👌👍
Good ease work I suppose it was much hard back hundreds off years ago when you had to get the right red clay mould for the bricks, today we have power tools and set squares, etc back hundreds off years ago they had no power tools only foot and hand power them lathes
Hi Rob, the whole job looks stunning and historical. Your work is a pleasure to view. Your skills are masterful and world class. Are you a Norfolk dumpling? I hear Norfolk in your accent. I`m probably way out on that one! Good to see you back.
absolutely beautiful mate as always, I have a project I have been asked to price with lots of herringbone panels in your opinion, if you don't mind me asking would be a fair price per m squared? cheers good to see you back
Top class, excellent work, from fellow bricklayer of nealy 50yrs.
Welcome back, another top job explained in clear simple terms.

Oi b'a Suffolk boi

in your opinion, if you don't mind me asking would be a fair price per m squared?
cheers good to see you back
Great work Rob. I'd love to come to one of your Saturday workshops. Is the flint work yours as well. I'd love to see a video on how to do that.
Yes, the flintwork was fun, I don't get to do it much
Lovely work, as always Rob. I really like the colour of the mortar. Is there any pigment added or is it just the colour of the sand? Very nice 👍
One of the best brickling RUclipsr wish ot was proper video talking ect
Brilliant
Rob it’s too long between videos, we need more, cheers
hopefully, a lot more to follow..
Top brickwork rob! Any news on the twisted squares? Thanks Tom
do you gauge the courses for the panel height or just cut accordingly?
Some of those bricks seem kind of roundish in that wall.
Do you do that with a 9m wide panel ?
Lovely brickwork for a Suffolk boi, come over north Norfolk and we’ll get your flintwork up to scratch😉😂
now that sounds like a plan after lockdown.
Robi hello from 🇷🇺
Another Songer masterpiece. Did you also do the (Flint?) cobbling? It sure looks like you may well have done. That's an art form all on its own.
yes, that was my wall. Mikey has done lots of cobble work on this project, he's done some lovely work.
are them other panels done in Scottish cobbles mate ?
They are quarried locally. There are a couple of pits reasonably closel to us
Does it matter how big the first cut is
yes, setting out is everything.
How are you mixing your lime what ingredients? Im using hydrated lime 1:3
This was a while ago and we were using my favourite mix, 1:2:9.
1 white OPC, 2 hydrated lime and 9 sand
@@robsonger1 thanks for your reply.
Still waiting for the Flemish bond tutorial Rob
