Master craftsman i have been bricklaying 36 years and enjoy the way you work calm and thinking all the time about the craft

By far the best bricklayer I've watched on KZfaq. Not just about thrashing down bricks to a line, so much skill and minimum movements, love watching him.

I never tire of watching this guy. Long time bricks still learning from such a young and clever craftsman. My respects brother 👍

Rob, You are a true craftsman! After 22 years of being in the bricklayers Union I left due to the lack of pride and concern. All they do is push for quantity not quality. Glad to see that there are still real craftsman who take pride in what they do. I hope you keep posting videos. Maybe they will inspire a new generation of real bricklayers.

By far one of best bricklayers out there the skill and knowledge is azaming looks really nice end finish, loved watching it 👍

Brilliant workmanship .....well done Rob thanks for posting video.....))))))))

You Sir are a true artisan! I am always amazed by the quality of your work, and your attention to detail. A lot of people could learn a thing or two from you! :)

Mr. Songer...excellent, very talented! I really enjoy watching you perform your craft. Thanks for the video. ....13

Absolutely agree with the compliments below. A beautiful piece of art my friend. I too, am a stickler for detail in ANY work I do. Great to see your passion and pride for what you do. Thanks again so much for sharing :) Bob.

Being a brickie my self...totally respect to you. It's all about thinking ahead of what you are doing most brickwork is just basic logic ...top man .

That's amazing. I don't understand how you have 38 people giving a 'thumbs down'. Have they provide reasons why they have disliked the video? Or are they just yellow belly cowards.! I think there are people who are just fixated on destruction. Great work, keep it up. You sir are a true artist.

As a bricklayer myself I love to watch your videos rob. I agree with all the positive comments. Great videos. All the best .

Incredible work. We don't often see that old-world brick craftwork here but I sure appreciate it when I see it. folks like you who can do it well are blessed with a gift but sadly there are fewer and fewer of you who take real pride in it. Well done my friend. Keep making beautiful things!

sickingly superb craftsmanship!

Fantastic workmanship 👍

great job yet again rob your work is 2nd to none keep up the great work your a inspiration !☺

Brick and stone work are some of the most valuable work, in the construction industry.

Wow, nicely laid. The end result is as crisp as ever.

Amazing job 👌

outstanding work rob

Finally a proper Bricklayer, there are too many bods on YT thinking they are good when they are nothing special with hardly any technical knowledge.

Thanks for putting this video back on for us to see. Would it be possible to see the entire video again . This is a great video!

Another clean & tidy job again Rob :) You're workmanship & work ethic is impressive , you're video's are really informative in fact I would say you're one of the best on youtube that I seen so far great work rob :) Cya around buddy

Great bricklaying mate! Good to see people take pride in there work👍🏼

Perfect... I can't imagine being better than that. It's the top - as good as it gets... Preperation is ket to being the best!!!

Tremendously outstanding sir

A treat for the eye!

rob you are a true craftsman

You can tell your a true craftsman not only by the quality of your work but how clean you work. I see all to many brick layers either spread mortar over the face of the brick or all over the floor. Nice job.

That is some good work.

Truly a maestro

Beautiful job..:)

If a job’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right!

Amazing stuff

Neat & crisp .

Espectacular

Hi Rob,nice to see someone with pride in their work,not Slap that Sh*t up and take the money and run

nice job Rob

An addition was that we used an inverted point so we didn't have to balance the pencil on the tip of the Tremmel...Many ways to skin a cat as they say...nice work....

Pure art.

No disrespect but back in the early 50s my grandad and mates did most decorative brickwork daily, his foreman would kick it down if not perfect, it made them craftsmen, money is the driver now, sites thrown up, simple structures with no imagination or longevity, bloody accountants running the show who are clueless desk jockeys lining their pockets, rant over, lovely work as usual Rob 👏

Amazing job yet again Rob! How come the little yellow pier has been kept?

Very nice👍

Wow that looks great! I noticed that you had mortared the backside of that wall to a flat lower height. Maybe the client changed their mind? How did you alter the mortared bricks? Grinder? Or did you start over on that side?

Damned nice work.

Nice work and i like your technique

very good you work

Lovely job mate....you seem to get a lot of jobs doing fancy detailed work..how do you manage to get so many.

How do you determine the height of the timber thats resting leval on the toothed brickwork,,,and the length of the trammell thats striking the ramp,,,,also the distance the trammell is from the peir ,,,

I've never had the pleasure of having to build one of these but I'm sure I could do it.i done a lot of radius and segmental arch work.just set up a radius with a trammle and deduct the thickness of the tiles then the brick on edge.putting the bricks up on a 10 mill piece of wood before cutting is what iv Been doing for years.i buy engineer's white chalk to mark my cuts easier than sharpening a pencil.but nice work thanks.

Beaut!!!!

good job

nice work

Rob . I am building a circular ramp feature into a garden wall without the tile course The radius is 975mm ( 13 courses ). I have cut the radius ok .👍 Was going to cut nip the joints on my brick on edge course so they are consistent 10mm but struggling because it is literally the sidth of my cutter blade. At what diameter would you consider cutting the voussoirs or leaving them with a slight wedge on the perp joint ?

nice to watch the more cerable side of brickwork 90% of KZfaq vids are brickes bashing in bricks to the line under the tag fast brickie, anyway rant over nice work rob

Hello how did you make your mortar, what quantity materials all about ca thank you

Hello how do you glue for your brick, what quantity product. thank you

Where are all the "experts" telling you are doing it all wrong and are too slow eh? Seem to be lacking on this vid! Great Job BTW - you obviously take a lot of pride in what you do.

What country do you live in?

Chingon compa yo tambien soy stone mason y le quedo bien a cesar lo de cesar

great job. you are taking a lot of time to do this job .I want to ask you about how much money you take to do it

how did you vcut the brick soo nicely

How do you cut the brick?

Great Job weldone.

nice

Hi I just bought your video. And it sent me here. Where are instructions on how to build the trammel correctly.

You would be really good if you could stop the muck falling through the holes in the brick when you butter a BOE...

Hola Sr Songer.... podría subtitular por favor en español...para sus alumnos que no leemos ingles...muchas gracias

when gauging the headers instead of a ridged piece of timber why not use something flexible like a plastic cover strip like window fitters use

you get better grip, if you pre-wet the pieces.

Im a mason too been laying 30 yrs now use a tuck pointer instead of tiny trowel u get better results

i dont like this method but why not!

Why not use a stringline instead? Put on top brick where finish w be and hang it it will give u perfect circle finish

I could do better than this Rob. Only joking never laid a brick in my life ! . Love your work buddy

As a bricklayer myself I love to watch your videos rob. I agree with all the positive comments. Great videos. All the best
