I started when I was 15 years old. I’m 40 now. Have worked all over Ireland and Massachusetts on an island called Nantucket. Have been in NY for 16 years and in all that time , I’ve never seen anything like this. Genius level work. 👏 ✊

100 years from now, minstrels will sing songs about your work, I'm speechless 👏👏👏

Absolutely incredible work my mind boggles. Rob your patience, vision and execution is second to none, the best work I’ve ever very seen.

Rob, that was just phenomenal. Most brickies would run a mile from this job, if they were asked to work this out. The laying part is not the problem for brickies, we could lay the bricks, but the setting out would mess our brains up. There’s not many brickies with the know how. There is a massive thirst for this knowledge from most brickies, I’m sure. Courses should be set up for young and old brickies to learn this type of stuff. As you said, it’s all in the prep.

World class. I would have worked free just to have been part of that

Unreal amount of work gone into that 👍🏻

You just topped everything on youtube, by a distance - whatever they paid you, it wasn't enough.

Rob - if you have not already been awarded Master Craftsman status by the Worshipful Company of Bricklayers and Tilers then you surely will be when they see this. Truly outstanding.

Speechless .once upon a time I may have had a go but 40 years ago my balls were a lot bigger .I couldn't do that you have me beat hands down . Truly a master that is fantastic 👍

Earmarked a few brickie vids to watch tonight viewed this first won't bother with the rest now, astounding.

Not just any brickie can build a spiral staircase. Top notch Sir 🙂

Just fantastic brickwork - inspirational on achievement and patience to complete...👍👍

Incredible,looks amazing 👍👍💪💪💪💪

Your fundamentals of teaching is unsurpassed, a shining light to us all, an old school knowledge to be passed on. Their are many out there , but you are amongst the few , Eg FRED DIBNA to name but a few , Thank you Rob Thank you......

Stunning. Retired Bricky. Melb Aust

I'm an Electronic Engineer but I love watching both your jobs and training videos, anyone who makes or designs things could not fail to be impressed by your skill and professionalism. Thanks.

That’s really impressive., it looks beautiful.

A stunning piece of brickwork Rob, I’m a retired brickie and would have loved to have had a go on that l tip my hat to you sir.

absolute master piece , your body of work throughout your career and the range of skills you have acquired is incredible and truly inspiring to bricklayers learning the trade.

This is unbelievable, Rob I really can’t put into words how good I this is, nothing on KZfaq comes close to this, never will. This is someone at the top of their game, I wish young people would stop watching Love Island and start watching these sort of things. Whatever you earned on money for doing that you’ve just earned a million times that in respect from fellow bricklayers. You should be very proud.

Stunning bricklaying there bud. Top notch as usual. Love it! Herringbone topped it off perfectly🤙🏼🧱

I'm impressed 👍 very good job

Workmanship level 💯 Definition of the 6 p’s right there. Fantastic job Rob and love the commentary. One of those jobs where everyone walks away happy and you have a very happy client 👍🧱

Respect from russian bricklayer!!!!!

This required skills that most people don't know someone needs to do this. And many people who tread there will never recognize your very talented skills and abilities. Truly a work of art within this staircase! Very well done!!!

Just amazing Rob this is the best brickwork job I've seen on KZfaq by a mile you deserve a medel for the setting out and also well done Harley he is lucky to be working with a master craftsman. Looking forward to your next one.👍👍

Outstanding Craftmanship... Rob (And Team) your the Masters when it comes Bricklaying. A real credit to the Trade.....

I think I've watched this video more than 20 times Rob and it never gets boring to watch. Excellent workmanship. Would love to be able to do a project like that. Bricklayers heaven

A true master craftsman .

This is one of them videos that needs over a million views its a masterclass 👏 beautiful work

The man will go down in history as a legend

This is just amazing i am really gob smacked craftsmanship as it's best thank you sir

Hi Rob, I'll wager that everyone you ever learnt from is seeing this and saying "Well done bor" Absolutely incredible !!! Regards Tim

That's quite impressive. A million miles from "house bashing". When I was in college doing brickwork this was the kind of work I wanted to do.

Rob you put all other tradesmen in the shade. I work in your part of the world sometimes and if I ever see you I'll buy you a pint or two for providing the best videos I've seen on utube. Great that you're passing on some of your knowledge too,respect.

Breathtakingly beautiful. Fantastic if you can make this. Craftsmanship! Compliments and greetings from The Netherlands

A dying breed of workmanship. Well done mate 👌🏼

Great skill involved there Rob. Stunnng job👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🤝

Top tier workmanship there. Doesn't get any better.

The G.O.A.T of Bricklaying !

It is just absolutely drop dead gorgeous.

Great workmanship again. I hope you were given a bottle as a token of appreciation 🍾

Amazing....stunning work...thanks for sharing.

I’ve never seen anything like this... 🤩

This work is one of the best I’ve ever seen.. What Chris said in is comment what ever the client paid you it wasn’t enough at all..keep up the good work I love these videos.

Beautiful work. Genius idea using the laser level on the radial brickwork. That must be an amazing house.

Rob, you really are a top craftsman! I imagine only 1 percent of bricklayer's could do that, most would never even get the chance. I bet young Harley is never late for work! Stunning work.

Genius. Built a two course step with slab on top yesterday and was pretty pleased with it. Now feeling a little in adequate.Great work. 👍

Wow amazing craftsmanship

Work of art, a stunning center piece for any building. Care and attention to detail is what makes a master craftsman stand out.

Absolute quality. Your understanding of geometry is top notch.

Truly amazing quality. Been laying bricks for nearly 40 years and this is the very best

Never seen anything like it, you must be proud of your work. Simply the best

Lovely job. And you can tell how much you enjoyed it with the amount of photos taken.

Really nice. I love all the details showing the jack lines up and laser level to gauge each course. The herringbone on top gives it even more life and fun.

wow unbelievable, at first i was like now way , then you showed the start out with the set up downstairs, unbelievable how clean you ended with... all the bricks look so clean and perfect fine job my friend, i have watched all your stuff from way back, and i see now why you were away for so long, you have been doing masterpieces while we were all just doing connect the dot coloring books, lol fine job, fine job, that stair case was so nice lookin and the basement really looks great too, fine job man fine job that arch too is something out of the history books looks like, something you would see with the Egyptians or the Sumerians... fine job

"Art" is the word. Amazing.

Stunning Job there Rob. Both you and Harley got to be well happy with that. Just wow!

Absolutely beautiful work rob once in a lifetime job that.You must be very proud.Atb mate

As good as it gets rob ... well done 👍🏼

This is insane , best work iv ever seen

Stunning project guys and very good walkthrough explaining the thought process of the build to us non brickies.

Stunning rob absolutely stunning

Never really had an appreciation for bricks until i saw your vids. Incredible and beautiful!

Lovely job Rob

I’ve listened to your explanation and obv watched the video and I still don’t understand how you did it 🤣. Absolute class. Would have loved to have been taught the trade by someone like you

An AMAZING piece of art! Just WOW! Looks absolutely stunning. Thanks, as always, for sharing your knowledge my friend. Bob :)

You've blown my mind Rob. Amazing. You the man (and Harley )

You are the brickwork wizard my friend, defo not a clay chucker 👍

That is just next level - absolutely outstanding.

Yep it only gets better , Well done Rob ,

Rob, I have got to say what a fantastic job, fair play to you and your team in creating this. I myself work in a builder's merchant's so I love to see plans with brickwork on them. Sadly it's mainly facework to the plinths, with plinth stretchers on top, followed by render on top and quite boring really! But your work is a different gravy and gives it a WOW factor. I salute you sir.

Really appreciate your efforts looking beautiful and creative. Keep it up

That is something to be really proud of and of course it will still be there as a testament to your skills a long time after you are gone to the great building site in the sky, well done.

Quality work.

Insane! Absolutely beautiful, many congratulations. Must have been an epic budget!!

Stunning, amazing craftsmanship👍👏

Just absolutely next level stuff. Mind blowing.

Tremendous!! Never seen anything like this one!! Great job!!

What a pleasure to see a proper bricklayer at work great use of plum lines built a sixty foot two story sweeping entrance on a health centre with plum lines but this is different class well done you and your mate

Absolutely amazing next level stuff and must be really satisfying to complete such lovely projects.

Incredible work. Well done Rob. This is another level.

This is a next level of workmanship. Well done. I am a setting out engineer/surveyor and I doff my cap to you sir. Looking to get some experience laying bricks, have been watching your tutorials before taking some courses.

How beautiful all the construction of the staircase, excellent professionals who did the work, greetings from san felipe chile

Amazing work. I’m based in Ely Cambridgeshire rare to see this sort of work so very interesting👍👍

Outstanding craftsmanship I wouldn't have a clue where to start

WOW,. Just,... WOW!

Absolutely amazing work. We use a level on all our radius work. The laser is genius. All the best to ya.

That is like a work of art

Absolutely beautiful Rob. They must give you a blank cheque to when you start.

Absolute masterpiece top class. In a league of your own mate.

i think a lot of people look at that and say how beautiful it is, But have no idea of how much time you took setting it up or building it. You to are Fantastic Masons Great Job

WOW ! Just wow Rob . Been looking forward to this one . Your skill and patience astounds me .so many questions. Hopefully we will meet one day so me and Alex can talk to you properly about this masterpiece. I can’t pick a favourite part , it is all just stunning! I will be watching this again later with Alex . Thanks so much for sharing this one Rob and Harley 👌🏼🤩🧱👍🏼
