Hi Paul, thanks for the comment. I checked out some of your videos, you have some very different techniques. Let us know if you want to know anything about British masonry.
Hi Maester Men, what I would do is lay a block at the lowest point, transfer a level to the highest point, set up a line between these to so have created a level line. I would then cut blocks to the gradient of the slope using a grinder and lay accurately to the string line. You will then have a level first course to build upon. I wouldn't worry about rebar, however if you plan to build single block over 20' I would recommend a pier in the middle of the wall. Good luck.
Hi, Edward! I wanted to ask to make a video about the tools (the trowel),I'm also going to remove the same. For us your trowel seems very large. thanks for the comment
Hi, is it advisable to bend the brick away from you and then tap it back to the line, even if sometimes the brick might not end up being fully straight on the bed, meaning slightly bent inwards towards house. Because having the brick slightly bent outwards towards yourself will leave small gaps once level checking?. Please recommend
Hi. Just a couple of points not shown here. There's no mention of checking the level of the back of the brick to make sure they're not sloped towards or away from the line. Also, no mention of how to set up the line. Otherwise, your videos are good.
313keiko1 hi, get the first course level, build corners of this following bricklaying sequence if gauge is same both ends and you position the line at the top of the brick at each course your string line will be level.
You don't have a lot of videos but what you do have is quality, thank you for posting these. Please post more soon!
Thanks again. Your skills, techniques and tips are very much appreciated.
Good to come back and watch these old videos can't forget the basics
how thick is the mortar betwen two bricks a how high is a line ?
Thanks for comment Liam, hope your still putting a few down. I do enjoy a bit of weather strucking will post a video in the new year.

Hey that last brick should have been buttered on both sides...!
Kidding aside - outstanding techniques and thanks for sharing.
will u be making anymore of these excellent videos?
Many thanks Bruce
Would the next coarse be frog down? I've only ever laid brick with holes in the center
yeah been laying a few bricks and blocks over the last few weeks now, and will be waiting to see the video
but you did not show how to set up the string. Does it magically appear at the right level without any skills?
Good work,u never tap your level,
Do you have a video on how to do the line correctly
Thanks Rey

40 years of bricklaying and the best way is to get someone else to do it
Want to keep the bricks The Thickness Of The Line Away From The Line! DON'T FUCK WITH THE LINE!!
You didn't teach how to tie up the string
hi how do you get the string line level ??
313keiko1 hi, get the first course level, build corners of this following bricklaying sequence if gauge is same both ends and you position the line at the top of the brick at each course your string line will be level.
and how do you get the first course level ?
Using a spirit level
Thickness of the line away from brick.
thank you
you good
‘Aline’? Don’t you mean align?
Twig line away from you lead if you are not using a pole.
You spelt Aline but it's align
terrible camera work and a nice tutorial
