    Come from generations of masons. I must say, you paint portraits with your trowel. Amazingly clean and precise. The one handing 12s is crazy as well. But strength is strength the trowel skill is most impressive. Awesome display of skills.

    I've done stucco masonry for over 20 years and I dable in learning block. I remember seeing your video years ago and I keep coming back to it to see your poetry in motion. You were made for this trade brother. Is that wrist trowel action to get the mud to stick on first swipe or is it a rich mix mud? I have to know the secret to that please.

    • @SolidworksUnlimited
      @SolidworksUnlimited  Рік тому

      It's both, but if you don't have good mortar in the trade you still have to be able to make it stick to be effective and fast. Type S mortar is a lot better than type N maybe that's part of your trouble getting it to stick.

      BOUSE DK - I always lay block with 2 hands, even light weight block. Has nothing to do with strength... it has everything to do with not wanting arthritis from doing it 8hrs a day, 5-6 Days a week.

      I have worked with mansory workers a couple of times, and learned that when someone has worked in the industry for years, they become that strong. Don't get me wrong, as he hits them you can hear the density and that they are not that heavy, but there are some gentlemen who are pretty strong that they can carry two 8" block. I've seen it.
