Ripping out a shop front and rebuilding it in Flemish bond to match the neighbouring side. Replicating the cambered arch and building into the existing RSJ, explaining as I go and sharing the difficulties with the existing RSJ. #bricklaying #tips #Flemmish bond

Very nice job. I never had the patience to learn bricklaying. I had a very good friend who could lay bricks and blocks and stones from the time we were ten years old. I always admired his patience. Maybe after watching you I will give it a try, patience has set in as I got older. Thank you for the great content.

Cracking job Chris , I’m a time served Brickie myself who gave up the trade in my late 20’s to take up a completely different career path - I seen far too many old Scottish brickies bent , stooped , broken and riddled with arthritis with the cold damp weather at home - I digress , it’s great seeing the easy skill you show on your vids and I whooped with delight when I correctly predicted how you were going to overcome facing the RSJ with cuts etc . Look forward to more of your content Chris ✊ 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Nice job, and it blends in really well with the existing. I'm a builder/bricklayer myself but in my twilight years now, and watching your video is making me want to jump on the line with you, it's been a long time since I did any Flemish, and it just happens to be my favourite bond, well done.
