Considering them bricks are all shapes the joints look good once you have gone over and then brushed them

Thanks for the videos. I was always interested in building crafts/trades. But now I need to learn how to lay bricks, because of a mailbox I hit. Hopefully now I can do a proper job. Thanks for sharing your insight and experience. I appreciate it.

It’s called a running iron bucket handle is half round that protrudes out also when it’s too wet it’s called squelching and best brush I use is a horse hair brush I think bon co make them foot long brush red hot to use

Really useful to see the process at length for someone like me who has never done it. Have you ever built a pizza oven?! I’m about to start my project with a pre-cast dome but the rest built completely from scratch. Would be great to see you tackle something similar

Great channel! what mortar mix ratio was used for these bricks?

@longeagle9691 4 жыл бұрын

Hi loving your channel. For brick columns that have bricks fall apart and in need of pointing is it necessary to rebuild from scratch? The columns are supports for the porch and extends up to support the front of the roof. Or maybe you have videos on repairing brick columns that have almost collapsed lol?

@PaddleDogC5 5 жыл бұрын

Yes many differences.

@PaddleDogC5 5 жыл бұрын

The maximum I think anyone should have to point verts or beds is 10% of the brick. It's better looking when you're working and less work later which is more laid which is more money. They say in specs in the USA thumb print hard to strike or tool joints.

@jacobmarmolejo3946 5 жыл бұрын

Love your videos. I'm a mason from Amarillo Tx. Don't believe that thumbprint bull jive. I giggle every time I here that shit. This just me jointing or cleaning up my work just depends on the weather and the material. Some brick dry faster than others and some brick dont absorb moisture well as others. Do you only work on residential jobs. Do you do any commercial work also.

@Memry-Man Жыл бұрын

Now I've heard it said that when pointing you should have a brush in that left hand, and that fact that you don't means you didn't have enough butter? Thoughts?

@scoyle1750 5 жыл бұрын

I have just found you channel great stuff buddy but I prefer using a bit of hose pipe for them type of brick as jointing iron has no flex in it to follow contours of them brick but we all have our own ways and brickwork is a trade where there can be many options for finishing whether it's mortar colour or joint finish or type of brick so its a permanent learning curve for all bricklayers no matter what age as there's always something to learn or a different way to try. Keep up the good work 👍

Glad o hear you're enjoying the videos. I do like using those pipe for rougher bricks like these but I didn't have any when I started rubbing it up, just continued using the jointer throughout the build

@stephenwatson8558 4 жыл бұрын

Buttering the perp at 45 % angle can leave too many gaps to fill when jointing , flatten it before laying . Was taught not to use the heel as there's a chance of digging in , but it's all in the timing of when you joint up . Nice job it looks well .Bucket handle was invented when some guy got sick of trying to point the giant circular towers that sprung up during the industrial revolution and used his bucket handle .

try taking longer strokes when doing the horizontal joints. Use the heel for the verticals, interior angles of masonry walls are never struck concave they are finished flush.

@RodianBuilds 5 жыл бұрын

I'll give it a go next time I rub up. When you say interior angles do you mean interior blockwork?

Kraft tools in USA makes a curved jointer which works great on common brick or rougher brick it keeps you from getting mouse ears on the vertical joints.

@RodianBuilds 5 жыл бұрын

I think I need to come and work in the USA for a bit. Sounds like you have some different techniques and terminology over there.

@PaddleDogC5 5 жыл бұрын

If you place the cross joint on better you would have little to point up in voids. It's taking you a long time to fill all the vert's and no time if you made the cross joint near in plane with the face of the brick when applying the mortar. Also when you get mortar on a trowel and you want it to stick tap the bottom of the trowel with the jointer.

interesting fact, if the joints are tooled as work commences the correct terminology is actually joining. pointing is when tooling is carried out at a latter date.

Piece of lorry fan belt?! Can day that's the first time I've heard if that. Sounds like it could be a nice finish 🤔 maybe I'll do that on the garden walls around the house. Cheers buddy 👍🏻😁

@TheTraditionalGolfer 5 жыл бұрын

Lorry fan belt works a treat....these bricks don't suit jointing iron...there way to rustic i would stick jointed them cut the end of a broom handle off it works great then a good stiff brush!! I would have used a yellow sand and white cement though aswell the grey cement against the yellow doesn't suit but just my opinion.

@RodianBuilds 5 жыл бұрын

Always love hearing people's opinions. I quite like the grey look to the mortar and I give it quite a heavy brush over to rough up the joints. Dont want them nice and smooth. 👍🏻😁

These Marshaltown jointers are dreadful and sorry but bed joints keep your jointer flat other wise you get lots of ripples in your jointing. On the whole I think you talk a lot of sense about brick work but like most modern bricklayers the pointing is not how I was taught. Also it's not 3 degrees and rising it's 4. Other wise keep up the work.
