Ur videos are really doing me a favour in my bricklaying course. I watched ur videos before I started my course which gave me a bit of insight but now that I’m doing the course it is benefitting me a lot! Even my tutor said I am improving on my brickwork because of ur videos and other bricklayer tutorials. I appreciate u man keep it up!
Top class as always! There's no doubt that the level is King,but,there's also no substitute for a craftsman's eye,which you undoubtedly have, and which only comes with experience!Best wishes and blessings to you Stu!
Great video as always Stu. I lay brick part time as a secondary job. I really enjoy your videos. You lay brick so smooth like an artist. You really have a great talent. I love music but I liked this video without the music. Keep them coming please.
I just love the sound of running water and trowel on brick. I new a hod carrier who would go to sleep with the sound of a mixer being cleaned with water and brick's on a cassette tape . another good sound.
Another cracking video Stu,the second build they teach you to do at college after the pyramid.Very neat,plumb and to gauge-you make it look effortless!! 😉👌👍
Great vid Stu, takes me back to tech college in the 80's , did a trade trading course when I left school, brickwork, joinery, plumbing etc, I ended up as Plumber, but loved the bricklaying.
Nice and neat, full perps and bed joint exact amount of mortar, without unnecessary moves👌 Obviously you are experienced enough to know how 10mm bed joint looks like but you could use tape measure to be sure every course is gauge!😉
Mind me Stu, but you got really good. I can clearly see you passed from tapping the bricks (back in the days/videos) to pressing them down. Nice technique 😉. I'm doing it too and it's really pleasing when you reach the right level 😁. Have a good one mate. Cheers.
No music, the sound of running water, geese flying past, a train.. expecting to hear my mother-in-laws dulcet tones (not) any second. Make it look so easy mate!
Good man Stu, haven't been as active on your channel but seen the no music in the title and instantly clicked ha wasn't that long ago you were on 3.8k so great to see your channel is growing. Onto 100k and best of luck with the academy
Nice job dude, I like to put a fourth flick on my perps I find you never have that small void on top of the brick once it's laid, but live the content. Not sure if you have done a dome pizza oven video but that would be cool to see how you get a nice dome, if you ever find time. Thanks from aus
How do you know the horizontal and vertical spacing between each brick is accurate? In my mind if you were building a house for example, you could end up with one side too long or too high and then the whole house is the wrong size.
Keep doing what your doing stu mate because it's fantastic watched you from day one and wow what a change you have made you should be proud I'm hoping to come over before Christmas and have a hours lesson with you or something buddy will be in touch keep up the great work !!!!!
He has done a video on bricking up a window opening. Door sizes differ whether inside or outside, also now doorways on the ground floor have to be wider to accommodate wheelchair users
Great vid, does this work for double cavity block walls as well? Seperate topic but could you also explain the different bonds needed for bricks and block build ty.
Great vid as usual stu. Just an idea but have you thought about doing a live q and a in insta or UA-cam. Answer questions from followers and give Abit of an insight in to your work life, the academy ect. Keep up the good work👍
I’m assuming that’s the great British weather we can hear? 😂 good video so far although I’ll admit I like the chat over the top (and the Wigan pie eating obvs)! 😊 Hope all is well Mr C
It is indeed Rian yea well I’m just trying something new no harm in that eh that doesn’t mean every video will be like this as you know there’s a fair mix of content. I like to keep it fresh. 👍
no bricklayer has ever explain how they set up the bricks height wise. How do you know if you will end up with full brick on top end or not? is it ok to have half brick on top?
Very good comment, he is not gauging the height of the courses. How does he know he is going to come out on elevation of the brick, could be a window, a rollock course or top of door way
Do you only have engineering bricks to lay ? You want to try some renaissance or bovington bricks see how you get on some of the worse bricks I've layed. Nice video.
Cheers Trevor yeah I like Laying engineering while it’s a tutorial for those that want to learn, why make it harder for myself lol but I have layed some terrible bricks in earlier videos. Those that rip you hands to shreds 😂
That is beautiful mate 👍🏽Just out of interest, should the actual mortar mix inbetween the courses be a certain thickness? If so is there a tried and tested way to achieve this? Cheers.

I'm repointing my walls and having a hell of a job with the corners, I point one side and it's just pushing out the other side
This is someone who has mastered there craft. A true joy to watch. Keep up all the hard work stu. 👍.
Love these videos. You can learn so much just by watching you... Great work 👍🏻
Don’t know why all videos with no music is so interesting to watch.I love your Chanel ,God bless !
Hey, let’s finish up stunk
THIS I could watch ALL day !! The sights & the sounds / awesome & therapeutic !!! Thanks so much !!!
Some say silence is golden. I certainly agree here!
Great video no music no talking just the need to know in progress!!! Great work!! Awesome 👌 👏 👍
I think this my favorite video you have ever done...this is definitely my next brick project
Brilliant. Best brickwork tutorial on UA-cam
glad you think so Ry
Simple yet effective

Your videos have been helping me do laying around the house and to complete my couse in collage thank you so much man!! I love you vids so much
This is music to my ears! Love!!!
It’s a different kind of musics eh A something different 😁
I just love the sound of running water and trowel on brick. I new a hod carrier who would go to sleep with the sound of a mixer being cleaned with water and brick's on a cassette tape . another good sound.
Nice one. I can now brick lay from this video. Gen
COULD YOU CREATE A VIDEO ON DIFFERENT TYPES OF MORTAR JOINTS AND HOW TO DO THEM. WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT 👍🏻
Harry Hetherington agreed
Just watched that and found it super therapeutic .👍👍 nice one.
Nice!I love the sound of the trowel against the bricks.
Always a pleasure watching a skilled man. I am currently building steps with brick courses and pavers. I hope I can learn from watching you.
Another cracking video Stu,the second build they teach you to do at college after the pyramid.Very neat,plumb and to gauge-you make it look effortless!! 😉👌👍
Great vid Stu, takes me back to tech college in the 80's , did a trade trading course when I left school, brickwork, joinery, plumbing etc, I ended up as Plumber, but loved the bricklaying.
You are the best bricklayer in the world for me mate , I'm learning from you, all the best
Brilliant stuff, and no music which makes it easier to focus on the actual technique.
Fabulous Stu, if you have pristine engineering bricks, but what about showing us how you do that same corner with old and battered reclaimed bricks?
I will do John 👍
Nice and neat, full perps and bed joint
exact amount of mortar, without unnecessary moves👌 Obviously you are experienced enough to know how 10mm bed joint looks like but you could use tape measure to be sure every course is gauge!😉
learning a lot from your videos, i will check out the courses you organise. thank you.
Beautiful sound
This is amazing 👌👍
Brilliant 👍
Brilliant. I've started doing a bricklaying course and I'm been watching your videos to
Mind me Stu, but you got really good. I can clearly see you passed from tapping the bricks (back in the days/videos) to pressing them down. Nice technique 😉. I'm doing it too and it's really pleasing when you reach the right level 😁.
Have a good one mate.
Cheers.
mate its all about the sponge finish with smooth joints lol i like using cavity insulation to finish engineering bricks they come out looking mint!
That has chilled me out nicely for going to sleep. ASMR brickey.
Video is great only one thing with us masons here in Jamaica we hit our blocks not our levels but extremely good insight on brick laying
I didn't know bricklaying ASMR was a thing. I will admit it did feel kinda calming.
Follow asmr bricklaying for more asmr 👍
😂😂😂
Be blessed we are now builders
We're all taught when an apprentice,
not to hit your level, but we all do it😄 . I carry a two foot level as well , comes in handy.
Good vid 👍
It’s not the music we like it’s the skill 💪🙌
Hello stu love watching this video I don't know why, it's a great vid and I started my cavity wall today
Very therapeutic to watch
Lovely job
Sneaky ASMR video? That was the most relaxing corner I’ve ever seen / heard being built.... cracking
I have learnt a lot thank you
Super ,very good corner...
Nice work
عمل جيد واتقان شكرا على فيديو
Random Goose passing by 😂😂
hahah unexpected low flying goose
Sounded like a porno movie at first ha ha.
No music !!! Scandalous !! 😁 Great video mate 👍
something different :)
@@Stucrompton1 Absolutely mate 👍
Great lesson Stu. Thanks. What boots are those? Greetings from Poland.
No music, the sound of running water, geese flying past, a train.. expecting to hear my mother-in-laws dulcet tones (not) any second. Make it look so easy mate!

Currently doing a basic bricklaying course in college atm hoping to progress, any tips on how to improve my pointing would be greatly appreciated

so satisfying

thanks for the long term support George, much appreciate, hope to see you soon buddy, stay safe.
Hi stu do u hve any videos on how to brick a door or window opening and what size should the door openings be?
He has done a video on bricking up a window opening. Door sizes differ whether inside or outside, also now doorways on the ground floor have to be wider to accommodate wheelchair users
Great vid, does this work for double cavity block walls as well?
Seperate topic but could you also explain the different bonds needed for bricks and block build ty.
I have a question, don't we need a water proof sheet underneath? In practical implementation
No music ☺️👍 great videos
Great vid as usual stu. Just an idea but have you thought about doing a live q and a in insta or UA-cam. Answer questions from followers and give Abit of an insight in to your work life, the academy ect. Keep up the good work👍
yes i will do that
Excellent
Christ you make that look easy!
6 mins in and your tinkering that level haha
Mark the gauge on your level Stu ;)
not marking nothing on my new level :))
Leonardo of bricklaying.
Does the mortar between the lower bricks get pushed down by the weight, or do the bricks, as it were, move downwards by whatever degree?
Good video, but I would really like to know just how long does a level last, or are they specially made levels.
Love is best.
No music is the way to go!
It's perfect
GOOD job
I'm a mason from new jersey and i just want to say "CRACKIN STU CHEERS"
Hi Stu. Have you done a video on the best methods on how you clean your bricks/work? We are not all as talented as you..😂🤣.
ive done one before but i will do a new one
@@Stucrompton1 thank you. Can you put a link in here and point me in the right direction of the last one please. Keep up the good work mate. Paul
How many millimeters should you stay off the ground? As in how many millimeters are your joints?
I’m assuming that’s the great British weather we can hear? 😂 good video so far although I’ll admit I like the chat over the top (and the Wigan pie eating obvs)! 😊 Hope all is well Mr C
It is indeed Rian yea well I’m just trying something new no harm in that eh that doesn’t mean every video will be like this as you know there’s a fair mix of content. I like to keep it fresh. 👍
Do you use full strength mortar for an example like this?
no bricklayer has ever explain how they set up the bricks height wise. How do you know if you will end up with full brick on top end or not? is it ok to have half brick on top?
Very good comment, he is not gauging the height of the courses. How does he know he is going to come out on elevation of the brick, could be a window, a rollock course or top of door way

Nice work mate. You should put ASMR in the title lol what boots are those btw?
hi mate did you plumb the first course ??
Yes Brezil.
The Geese 😂😂
Great really good night عالی
Work writhe an end result i.e. job satisfaction
How do keep your joints consistent in size without a line?
Practice using eye to gauge
Watching u in college teacher put u on
How do you keep joints even?
Years of practice
how about laying around doors and windows
Wowww
What's that mortar made of, I take it that it doesn't set to allow practice?
Sand and lime I believe
How many bricks should be put a brkcklayer a day
You should make a Minecraft video.
Stu, do you use cement to make your morter, only when I went to college they only used wet sand and no Feb.
It’s not just sand there is line in it no need for feb
That is beautiful mate 👍🏽Just out of interest, should the actual mortar mix inbetween the courses be a certain thickness? If so is there a tried and tested way to achieve this? Cheers.
usually its 10mm
Can you tell us about the mortar mix you use here?
Yes it’s sand and lime 👍
@@Stucrompton1 and portland?
No cement at all
@@Stucrompton1 I had no idea that was possible! researching now...really interesting.
MERAKI 💪🏻
whats that :)
Doing something with soul, creativity, or love - when you put "something of yourself" into what you're doing, whatever it may be.😊
I like it
