The real master is back.

Best bricklayer on here.👍👍👍

It is a revelation to see how much care and planning goes into building a beautiful arch. Thanks for taking the time to demonstrate the craft. Lovely to watch.

Rob these are the best videos your instruction is excellent

Thank you Rob, a great refresher for novice and experienced mason's alike!

It's really good to see you back making videos. I really like your videos. You are one of the cleanest bricklayers I've seen. You do great work on arches and any kind of decorative work that I've seen you do. I'm from the United States and enjoy your videos so keep them going.

Great video Rob thank you for sharing your skills. The quality of your work is second to none looks fantastic 👌👍👍

Hiya Rob, so chuffed that you're back on KZfaq 👍😁. That looks incredible, Amazing workmanship. Regards Tim

ONE. OF THE BEST AROUND, YOU CAN SEE. HIS DEDICATION. AND THAT HE SERVED AN INDENTURED. APPRENTICESHIP.. GOD BLESS JIM

Finally, I'm beginning to understand how it's done. Thank you!

Fine craftsmanship!

So good! Really appreciate the effort you go to on these videos. Thanks.

Lovely job Rob. You're a great ambassador for our trade 👏👏👏

When I lived in California they called a fake joint a Hollywood joint. Great way to start the day watching this video great job as usual rob 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Got a say what a privilege it is to watch your vids such natural talent and skill

Brilliant as always, Im a building inspector by trade and i wish there was more people like you Rob. You put these other cowboys to shame on here lol.

Ok I've learnt something today. Never seen the fake joint we always cut ours 🤦‍♂️ defo will be doing this in the future. Cheers rob 👍 great tip

Got to be one of the best bricky's and most knowledgeable out their!

Fantastic Rob, pleasure to watch. Many thanks.

got a folding rule of an old bricklayer years ago, he used it for marking his cuts ...I still use it ..proper old kit

Videos like this are the reason for KZfaq existing 👌🏻

Beautiful job as ever Rob , love the fake joints , I’ve done that cutting up pikes 👌🏼That Dewalt cutter looks very cool too . I’ve done a few lintel and re point jobs lately on the same estate all built with London Dapple lights FROG DOWN ! Nightmare to get the top joints full when you have to fill the bloody frogs too 😤🧱👍🏼

Great job Rob, thanks for the video

Great work the Bruce lee of bricklaying the true master is back .....

Absolutely beautiful!!

Great job Rob!

just found your channel - brilliant - love to see such a skilled person's work - thank you for posting

Brilliant.this cutting over arches used to drive me insane.something I always struggled with.i could never get this right.thanks for this.one trick I learn was mark them out on a thick sheet of paper held in the gap and cut and make a template then transfer it to the brick.o.k.if your working on your own.i never figured this out but I dident get to do these arches that often.you can cover quite a bit up if it's weather pointed.but great job.

Great job 👏

Thank you very much Rob . Beautiful

Best of them all rob your work truly is incredible don’t think I’ve come across anyone as skilled credit to the trade

The master at work! I thought I was good till I saw you!

Hi,! Beautiful work and good description.

Top job. Great work

Nice cutter

Great work looks fantastic

Brilliant what a craftsman👍

Great work!

joy to watch thank you

Good to see you back Rob. As always a well presented video to demonstrate the planning and skills required to build a fine arch. I like to set my arch centre bottom in line with the wall face to help with the faceplane. I’m guessing you’re centre is narrower to be in line with the cant you intended to put on your axed bricks? I will be showing your clip to my students next week when we return from the October break. Keep up the good work 👍

Thanks from New York City

Fantastic upload watched and done the technical drawings of these arches and now have been inspired to do the practical at home as not the type of brickwork I would get a chance to build on site well not yet anyway as this type of work is few and far between Great follow up on the technical drawings keep up the great work👍

Clever indeed!

Great work 👍👍

That's a tidy piece of work, Rob. Spot on. But, please, can't you hire a sliding-bench, masonry saw table? My Safety officer antennae start tingling every time I see you putting your foot on the brick and cutting close to like that. Don't forget that you are teaching.

As always spot on video, many thanks. May I ask you to consider a video or two on 9 inch walls, have just finished my first ever wall (9 inch flemish) but struggled to find a good video on the subject. Found myself constantly readjusting previously laid bricks, problems of a new bee. Anyways many thanks

good job rob

As always, l am getting fed up with you showing me how good you are 👍

Looks grate nice work 👍👌

Absolute legend!!!

Top job Rob, very thorough 👍

🧱excelent work !!!👌👌

this is proper brickwork ,how it should done,so precise

What a joy to watch, can I ask what mortar mix you have used in this video?

Grate video once again rob would the back arch be seen or would it be covered by a window frame 🤔 and do you use lime or cement mortar?

All praises to the Brick 🧱 Guru. Thanks 🙏 for your skills sir. Learning a lot from you.

Brilliant

Great work welcome back 👍 what’s the reason for scraping off the bottom of the joint I missed that ? Thanks

A thoroughly informative and clearly demonstrated video. It acts as a superb source of applied masonry knowledge and it’s practical application to back up my 2nd yr stonemasonry course at Bath College now. Your KZfaq site is fabulous and contains so much content highlighting your creativity, incredible craftsmanship and attention to detail. So grateful to you for passing on those skills!!! Thanks!!!

Brilliant video. Great skill. Could I ask what your mortar mix is I'm assuming lime. It looks very pale.

Master 👏👏👏👏👏

Hi Rob, these videos are truly inspirational. As a nurse for almost 30yrs. If I wasn’t approaching 50 and not mortgaged up to my eyeballs, I’d be chasing you for an apprenticeship. Could I ask what bricks you used?

Nice.

Hi rob how would you go about setting the vousoirs in position if you did not have access to the striking point to pull a line from?

that saw? what does it work from? battery?

What do you think of Collins brickwork

Proper job👍🏼 someone mentioned a sliding table saw....... we ont see any u em in narfuk do we bu😉

What Make is the cutter rob ?

Hi rob what cutter is that????? cheers

How did you determine where the striking point is for the line when you were building the arch

how do you like working with the dewalt saw? been thinking of buying one recently.

It would sicken me having to take that down!

Qual a argamassa que usa?

👍👍👍

How do you transfer your striking point from the bench to the arch centre

Hi Rob Im a fresh out of school brickie. My teachers were good and Im still learning new things but I forgot to ask them. How would one cut a birds mouth or other complicated cuts with a hammer and bolster, they didn't show me.. If you can show a video I reckon it would help many young or new brickies like me. Nowdays its irrelevant but its always good to know. Thanks.

👍❤️

What’s the caravan doing there

Can I work for you?

Banksy has nothing on you Rob.

The man is a danger to the public. Using a Stihl saw like that can slice your foot off. 22 minutes in is just as bad with the use of the saw too. This video should be taken off as it encourages others to use a saw in this way.
