I'm a stone mason and I have to say this video is a great tutorial for anyone at all interested in doing this themselves. Excellent work breaking down each step.

Mike, I've been watching your videos for about 3 years and cannot say "Thank you" enough. You are truly a master and I just wanted to say thanks for passing on your knowledge. LM

Mike, I really appreciate the thought you put into your videos they really helped me move up at work. I've been working as a stucco mason for 5 years, now the company is getting into masonry work and the insight and tricks that i've picked up from your videos have really increased my value as a worker. I've gotten 2 raises this year and I just had to thank you for them.

Mike you are a gentlemen. Doing the videos to pass on the knowledge and not for the free stuff.

Really enjoyable pictorials I bet a Mason since 97 and learned a lot over the years from the old timers and you're one of them appreciate you passing on the old skills try to refurbish my house built in 1910 and it's one step at a time and it's all about the dollar bill thanks for all your advice and pictorials good luck

You've got a lot of knowledge. Love your work and your process. You explain things very well. Keep up the awesome work. It was very enjoyable to watch!

I enjoyed watching and old school is better most of the time.

Thank You for the video Mike.

great video, very educational! I totally learned ANOTHER new thing from Mike Haduck! I didn't even consider or know you could use the blocks to build up the background! I thought it had to be poured concrete. Great tip! Also, that was fascinating about the old school vs. new school! I never knew that. THANKS Mike Haduck, you're a fountain of knowledge and amazingly skilled! GREAT stuff.

You are gifted mike great job.

Wow beautiful work I'm inspired.

love your videos mike. Keep them coming

I'm 66 and retired from the USPS. But I'd walk your package across the building (5 minutes) to save you 4 days. Retired now I enjoy your videos because as a factory semi skilled laborer for 42 years I so appreciate old school. I wanted to lay down a single piece hearth for a fireplace. I dug out the brick and went to a place called Ferrari and Banner in Springfield, Mass. Mr Ferrari was in his 70's and me in my 20's but he saw my appreciation for his craft. So he took me from the raw marble (1980's everthing in sheds by hand and machine) and he showed me the whole process from raw to finished stone. At the time they were finishing this black marble with a green vein. For some guys fireplace. Anyway Mr Ferrari saw I loved the stone and set me up wth a carerra marble piece 6 x 3 foot which I set on some self leveling product as the hearth for my fireplace. Just wanted to share that story with you. He was an old school mason and he said to me....I like you. Your'e no bullshit. And then gave me this beautiful cut of marble for 500 USD. And shoed me a piece maybe 10 x 10 andlet me select the cut. I'm divorced widowed and married again. But I will never forget Mr. Farrari and the craft he shared with a regular guy like me.

Mike... excellent info

I got my own masonry company , I love watching your videos for different ideas 👍🏽, never stop learning 💯

That looks cool 😎

Old school rules! I need to build steps, block and large concrete pavers for a gradual decline, and install ADA compliant railings. Watching your videos has shifted me from 'over thinking' to doing. I do understand base. I lost the patio in a divorce but it was built on the knowledge of older guys working on sidewalks in Portland, Maine. 18' of gravel and sand, well tamped, pitched, and it's unmoved after 32 years.

Your a good man mike down to earth and a hard worker .thanks for passing on your skills iv learned a lot ,maybe it’s time for you to take it a little bit Easy and relax Jimmy west Australia 66 years old
