Portland 2:1 ? Far too strong a mix if that's a building sand/cement mix.

You didn’t want to show how you did it?

Dude this is some seriously skillful tuckpointing and striking all in one. You truly save so much more on the cleanup, and even getting rid of the need to come back with a barrel striker. What I’m curious about is pop-outs if you don’t tuck the mortar into the joints fully so that it “seats” properly?

wouldn't like to pay his bill so slow bad technique

Fucking clowns, what a joke!

Paid by the hour?

It looks like the old mortar was removed by hammer and chisel……. And not a grinder …..Was that the case ? ? And as you know your job came out awesome with no smearing on the vertical joints…….” Nothing on the brick “ great job

I hope thats really weak portland if that is what you are using.

I thought NHL was the only material used on that type of building?

Looks like it’s bedtime for Francis.

Hey man nice color matching, can you share how did you mixed this mortar ?

Portals opens up at 333

They almost painted it green, but the homeowner said black

I liked it green 💔

Wow. I loved the green. It’s interesting how people’s tastes and visions differ so much. The green even matched the door glass and nature. Oh well.

It would’ve looked better a darker green

I was expecting something creative. It’s literally still just a slab of wood!

That view is beautiful

🥰🙂💙😅

🥰 wow, how im the world..

Mate hold your board against the wall. and you will be 20x faster 💰

That's like 200$ in wood

How??

I’m serious man tearing that apart and putting it back together especially In the city can be a nightmare and y’all did an ace job. I been checking out your pointing videos your a beast!!! I’m currently building a stone wall but will be doing a bunch of stone pointing on a job in west Chester pa. I’ll let you know when I get some pointing videos up. Hope all is well bro much respect.

Hey bro I’m a mason from the philly region much respect to you!!!!! That job was a serious undertaking! You guys are badass!

Was my first rc back in 2004

❤🎉

No lime?

Bro Used Hacks To Save A Human Im Impressed.

Wanted to let you know that your video has neatness techniques that I have used to help teach apprentices. Always learning.

It took about 2 minutes to point of one brick. And without taking into account, remove the mortar, wash the wall and prepare the mortar. Simple maths: A wall 3 meters by 6 meters has approximately 900 bricks. 900 bricks multiplied by 2 minutes is 30 hours or almost 4 full working days!!! What employer would keep such an employee? What can he earn? Or is it just a hobby?

Perps always first then horizontal or beds and always damp your bricks

2:1 mix seems very strong to me .?

Wow, I'm surprised I haven't seen this before now. I think it's legit. Sometimes we just have to understand and know that the Divine Powers have everything in check.

Tedious. Wow

This guy is a true perfectionist and skilled artist!

Looks great, i would have finished the wall in this video but it woud not have looked as good as yours.

You need to rake out the existing mortar to 20/ 25mm, this guy is going on top of the existing mortar, this will fall off and don't serve any perpose at all

Great work! 👏👏👏👏

What is the mortar mix used?

*lime

How did you make the mortar?? Like /cement/sand?

Should of made the mortar like brown sure and packed it dry it would went so much faster

I learned a some of hawk and pointing tool technique. Thanks for the pointers. My old house has soft brick, so I have to use lime mortar. Very little if any Portland can be used. If I elect to use a bit of Portland, it has to be white Portland to match the original lime mortar.

Francis, if you did notice a bit of mortar say 12 to 24 hours later on a brick, how could you remove it? Would you use hot water and a stiff brush or something stronger like acid and water mixed at a specific ratio? Thanks!

I'm faster

That’s going to take forever at that speed…. Let’s be honest!!

Going to take a long time to do that wall.!!

Nice shot

Nice precise work!
