Thankyou for the excellent instructions.

Reminds me of tile setting..pattern maintenance and good geometry.. Carry on.. Thanx

mason tenders make or break a smooth operation to be honest

Beautiful repair!

I’ve just repaired something similar , settlement has cause a crack over beam then wall pulls out, as it was a party wall structural engineer mapped out about 25x 1-2m heli bars. It was all lime mortar, that would have been fine if the water had not washed it out too much. Love the videos Rob!

How would you do this x 3? As in 3 headers thick

Rob best brickmason

Never seen a comb chisel that big before 😮

These skills were once taught and executed by old school bricklayers..I worked many years back with two old boys that could do all this and more like they were making a sandwich…like lots trades and skills now it’s dumbed down…r I p Curley

beautiful work

Did you work out the reason for the cracking occurring in the first place? Will it crack again? Was there any internal cracking? ps I'm a structural engineer!

And then actually, nobody cares

Rob you should post much more videos than you do. have a bit of confidence, you aint bad at it..........😁

You followed the original lovely, nice work! Stay lucky, stay safe! 😉

Quality work thanks for sharing

got to know what you are doing on a job like that. and robs the man.

Brilliant,is the helibar 200 either end of the crack? Done some but I used to do 400,😊

3.40 you look like you’ve just landed on another planet 🤣but fair play… when I think of some of the work that I’ve done without protection makes me shudder what I’ve breathed in 🤢!!

Great repair Rob 👌🏼. Is this job on the reserve too ? 🧱👍🏽

As you work with lime if you find Portland being used in construction do you generally do like for like or do you usually whip up lime based muck to the required strength ? Thanks

Finally someone who takes the serious risk of developing silicosis seriously and adequately protects themselves from construction dust! The topic of masonry renovation is very interesting; back then we were also allowed to replace some joints and many stone blocks. I have actually never seen such a long tooth iron. However, if I may allow myself one piece of advice: it is advisable to grind off the burr from the tooth iron shaft as soon as possible in order to minimize the risk of injury. Iron splinters can also chip off in the area. I once had such a fine piece of iron splinter shot into my forearm that I didn't even notice. It is still there today if it has not dissolved. I hope you understand that I was allowed to give this advice because I care about the well-being of experienced and accomplished craftsmen.

Rob at this stage, couldn't you have given brickwork after copping out a good soaking with a hose such a better job for sure malc's in Perth WA your attention to detail is frustrating sometimes ❤

Fantastic job. Looking forward to seeing more

Excellent work as usual - you are a true craftsman.

Brilliant job - well done Rob

Rob, It was good to see the correct P.P.E being used - nasty stuff that lime mortar dust. A valuable lesson for some others on social media, who think health & safety is a optional extra...

Frogs up full bed

Rob could you do us a video and explain how they did Crystal Palace train station

Hands down the best brick on you tube and probably one of the only few that can’t do the old art. I can garrentee you know if you went to site 50% won’t even be able to do an arch.

Rob where can i get a twisted peir square

Wow what a find, why are here so many brilliant YT channels that you take so long to discover, Literally a treasure trove of skills being kept alive for the next generation.

U the best mason

Fantastic rob. I’ve gone back bricklaying after 15 years of venturing into other things. Could you do a tutorial on perping a block etc. be great help All the best

Got any work on 😃

Where can someone get the jig?

This isn't just brickwork it's art.

Rob, can you answer a question for me that everyone seems to have an opinion on. What is the standard size for a 3/4 brick? Also what is the min and max variation that is allowed. Many thanks

Incredible work.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you so much for this video! Great to get an explanation from a real professional, it cleared up all my confusion regarding limes. You hear people speak of ''lime'' all the time but rarely does anyone actually explain the 3 different types and what they're used for.

Quit showing off rob your allreday the best buddy 😊 dam ur brickwork is Bomb diggity

Very nice work on the bricks Can you show the plaster work that will be on the ceiling

the standard of work Rob.i bow to your superior skills and knowledge. that work will still look amazing long after we have laid the last one.

Works of art Rob. Youre a master of the trade 👌🏻

There are slashers, ppl that can lay bricks, then there are bricklayers, then there are craftsmen, master craftsmen...then of course there is Rob Songer. 👍 epic work on a grand scale buddy!
