Excellent information. What is the recipe for mortar used by students, where their final result has to be dismantled?

Question: What do you use for practice mortar? Great video. Many thanks.

No doubt the best masonry instructor on the internet. If you can't learn from this man, then go be a doctor. My only suggestion would be to lose the background soundtrack. Distracting and adds nothing to the presentation. Add plenty of tight camera shots. Focus on the work and not necessarily the presenter. The more detail the better. Jamb close-ups were very helpful.

the way it is worded is a little confusing.... is it 11 and 13

@masonry2018 4 күн бұрын

Good try, but there is no 11 or 13 on the back of a spacing ruler. The numbers are one through zero. Very weird the way it’s designed!

@JonathanBaker-ng6md 5 күн бұрын

if it is a 2 to 1 ratio of portland/lime wouldn't a 1 cubic ft bag have a volumetric ratio of 0.596/0.291 cubic feet... I am not an expert and know very little about masonry so I am guessing this is a trick question...

@masonry2018 5 күн бұрын

Wow! You are really close! Correct thought process. You put a little too much thought into it! I’ll give you a hint, your numbers should add up to a cubic foot…

Hey great video! I'm an apprentice mason studying the trade and this was very helpful. Only thing that I would take away is buttering the block you already laid plus the one you are about to lay. That's a lot of extra motion on your wrist, double the amount of time, and just not sustainable outside of a classroom setting to my experience. If you just butter the one block you are about to lay well enough, it's gonna give you a perfect, full head-joint and save you a lot of time/energy. I've seen masons lay upwards of 500 block in a 10 hour shift so "double-buttering" would be 1000 head-joints instead of 500.

@masonry2018 5 күн бұрын

You’re 💯% correct! Double buttering is rarely necessary, but it does make for work that is just a touch better, even with brick work. It definitely adds work/motions, but I actually double butter most of my work. I’m not crazy fast, but my movements are efficient, which helps with speed. Thanks for the comment! Glad you’re in the trade!
