Laying a brick wainscot on a single family home from start to finish.
First we talk about bonding out our wall. 1:30
Next we cover building a lead. 6:40
After the lead is built, we move on to filling in the rest of the wall. 13:50
Once we get the wall up we finish it up with a sill. 19:55
Once the sill is in we put on the finishing touches. 28:55
Stumbled across this by accident. I'm always amazed when I watch professionals at the top of their games. The guy was out there in a sweater and collard shirt and not an ounce of cement went anywhere except exactly where he wanted it to. Amazing talent...
It's 3 AM and all of sudden I want to watch people laying brick
I love internet
I'm in skills USA and I love watching these videos. I got silver my first year as a mason. Keep up the tutorials!
A great teacher. Lucky for the apprentice that serves his time with this man.
I love the sound of brick and cement mixing, especially when he rakes it!
Many years ago I lived in a brick house built in 1948. The brick was backed with veneer block wich was also set on the top of the foundation. The only problem was the small front porch and steps. The joints failed and I had to clean the bricks and relay them. That chore took me two or three days because I had never used mortar before. I dropped the steps about 1/4" to the front so water would drain out. 55 years later the bricks are still holding.
My guy got his gold Rolex on while laying brick is the level of Manhood I’m trying to get to.
I would have that thing scratched to hell in less than ten minutes if I tried that while wearing a watch
I know I am kind of randomly asking but does anyone know a good website to stream newly released movies online?
@Kelvin Spencer i watch on flixzone. Just search on google for it =)
@Caspian Noe Definitely, been using Flixzone for months myself =)
@Caspian Noe thank you, I signed up and it seems to work :) I appreciate it !!
I’ve learned alit from this person learned how to build some mailboxes and my outdoor kitchen
That is awesome!
GOOD INSTRUCTIVE VIDEO. TRULY A CRAFTSMAN. DEFINETLY NOT A BOOT.
thanks ive been a mason 40 years usually we made our seals 5/8 at the bottom that way no holes but im not criticizing just making an observation your brickwork looks good
great video.
UK standards are different to us. However it doesn't really matter taping or rubbing bricks down into position. Rubbing is better.
One other thing. With timber frame construction you should leave a gap under the window sill for shrinkage of the timber frame. The bricks won't shrink when the frame goes down. the window sill/ frame will push up on the bricks which can lead to leaks around the window
very good mason very smart man
The guy who has to replace that dryer vent is going to be cursing you because you didn't wrap some foam around the pipe, according to Mike Haduck
he is a very nice man
Andy zx9 all brick layers are assholes don’t be fooled
that guy is a veteran bricklayer most of you will never even get half as good as he is I've been laying for 30 years but I don't even know if I'm as good as he is and I'm damn good
Looks shite when you compare him to British layers
New Jersey Mason LLC can i run the strinline on the inside?
Can i run the line in the inside
U am starting to learn masonry and it is a pain in the ass to learn to lay brick it always comes out in even even when I do make sure I plumed the wall or chimney I can't understand!
I don’t know, that window seal looks a little rough I’ve only been laying 5 years and I lay better seals than that 🤷🏻♂️
Amazing sir
Thank you god bless
damn you're a real smart builder. i watched this vid over & over & didn't understand a damn thing all i know i love this your art👍👍👍👍👍
A retired union bricklayer of 37 years told me the secret of this business “one on top of two”. lol he’s a great guy.
21jtk union bricklayers are pussies
Good man keep do what you doing Thank You 🏗️🏕️🏘️🏘️🏘️🏘️
A couple of hundred dollars? Maybe in 1930!
Good job buddy
fantastic!!
Why does the bottom shorter on the seal there’s nothing it needs room for? Would you cut an angle on a saw?
you need to add 8 times 1/16" to get 1/2 inch
The holes in the brick are done by the brickmakers so it speeds up the firing process
Question, wounding you normally put expansion joint up against the concrete plus where are the ties into the concrete slap ?
Is he laying brick with a presidential rolex on? Lol
13:36 He noticed that he fucked up and then in between the cut here he fixes it.
He put the black paper up on the wall but he has no flashing or weep holes on the bottom of the wall to let the water that gets behind the wall a place to get out. Also he uses no cavity drainage material. He is nailing the wall ties over an inch above the brick. This gives the tie room to move before it gets tight and does not let the wall move away from the house. Rowlock sills are really not approved by the brick institute as they leak to much. Also he has no flashing below the window and the windows were not installed correctly as there should be flashing around the perimeter of the window. When he lays the sill brick he does not compress the mortar between the bricks he slides them in to close together. There should also be a gap below the window to the brick. The wood in the house will shrink in years to come and the brick will not which will cause the windows to become hard to open and close. I could go on but you get the drift. I have 40 years in the trade and I have built them all.
I wonder if the flashing, ties, etc. were changes that came in after the 80s, which is when this was apparently recorded.
Yet only a certain percent of ppl in the world can look at ur comment and half ass understand anything u just said. This guy on the video is old school. Sounds alot like my boss man when he speaks. Only that ol dude here on the video is not cursing. My boss mans favorite word was motherfucker and fuck. Probably said it more than a sailor. I'm kinda young I'm 24. I had to learn to shut the fuck up and listen when he got on to me. Day by day I got faster and faster. From learning how to spread mud fast to learning to keep my mud spreading consistant. To laying a brick to the line. All while not lossing patience. And sufferring long hot summer mississippi days where my body couldnt t bare it. Some days no one would show. So I got to where I could be out by the sand pill where the mixer sits and have the near perfect morter mixed and in the wheel bar and pushing that mf which felt like a whole football field and getting to where brick. mud boards and entire set up is and cant stop cause mud boards need mud. Pretty much now I can get all this done in about a couple minutes. Have every mud board full. Then grab my trial which is always nice and clean. And spread mud pretty damn fast once I reach the end I lay brick backwards . and make it easier on him. Yes I am young and I'm mexican. Never miss days. I am going on a year working with him . he pays the mud man more then me. I steal get payed what he started me with so I make 350$ for 5 days 8 hour days with no lunch. Wide ass open speed. Why am I still working there idk to be honest. Only job that will pay me hint hint I'm Mexican. My situation is complicated. If that answers ur question but. Being payed low. And putting up with an entire year of heads aches bumps bruises and arthritis has made me into a better man. I look and think about things differently. Feel wiser . I probably wont ever get a raise. But maybe one day things will change. I probably could run a crew and make better money. I'm letting god lead me. I'm just gonna keep learning what more I can from him. Back in the day ppl around here say no1 ould lay brick or even just plain out out work my boss. But if I ever find work somewhere else. Doing whatever. I know I'll at least be if not the fastest but be considered the hardest worker out there. I can probably make it anywhere. Dont ask me why I'm telling y'all this shit. Hell maybe someone will read this and maybe hire me. If plus I also got 20 years expierience in English I sound like a damn redneck when I speak so if. Anybody need a damn good worker let me know.
Why is this the only comment on the topic of garbage flashing clearly exhibited here. There's house wrap shown in the video so obviously not having it isn't an excuse. Who gives a flip if he wants to tap on his precision instruments, it's his level, I don't tap on mine but clearly the vapor/water management fail here can be seen from a mile away.
Keep up the good work ethic. It's rough work being a brick layer, yeah, I'm an old woman who started working masonry on my own pos house up north. I love masonry. I sold machine tools all my life and lifted what the men lifted and I was always a skinny little thing, still am. Spine is going but damn, I won't stop 'til I'm dead. Know when to advance yourself so you can earn a decent living. Sounds like you're on the road to success. Keep your nose to the grindstone, don't stray off the path and you will always be successful. Those words I played over in my head for thirty years. I was one of the highest paid females in my industry. Yep, I said female. Work safely, stay strong.
@waldo lush dude after 5 minutes both people arguing are wrong, the convo isnt about who works where when it's about proper flashing tequnique which has changed since maybe you learned it. Modern code dictates moisture management including flashing above masonry veneer and around all windows.
Thank goodness it's only a few hundred dollars!
He said "trig" and not "twig" this dude's alright
All I’ve used is premix so far and there is no way I could tap the bricks down with the trowel like that unless I make it into a soup. I’m going to try getting individual ingredients and making the mortar from scratch because my productivity is laughable with this premix...
robnarley mix the mortar up real good to the desired consistency, wait 5-10 minutes, mix it up again and add just a little bit more water if needed. The mortar will be much more workable and plastic. The 5-10 minute process is called “slaking” or “letting the mortar slake”.
blackjack tar paper should be higher above than the top brick
You say a few hundred dollars, what was the total cost for the wainscoting?
Iowarail that's funny a good mason gonna charge way more then a few hundred dollars.
For a few hundred dollars? When was this video made?
1991
@@learntolaybrick That explains everything.
Is that a rolex watch he has on? leave the jewelry home
As Peter Crenshaw, from the Three Investigators, would say:” I’ll buy a double helping of that”
19:45, "Those joints."
I think this is when he just snapped on the inside, like wtf am i doing here
As soon as I see concrete blocks I switch off
used a chipped brick in the seal not good
Because?
Your not supposed too use chipped brick period and you tap tap tap your supposed to lay th e bring not tap the brick
Yeah I would have had to tear it out for a chip in the brick
Not bad, a bit amateurish. Its ok to tap a brick occasionally but if you spread your muck correctly you shouldn`t have to tap it. and he really needs to get a decent sized level .LOL.
+golfinguna if its muck you'll have a hard time spreading it.
+golfinguna u tap your level only when to establish corner manually, when u got leveled post just lay brick using hand squishing etc
Yes that's what I stated above. If you spread your muck properly a slight pushing down motion or squishing (as you put it) gets the brick level with the line. There is an old saying, "get as close the line as you can, without touching it.
lay away from to the line
Paige Heimann , your the one putting rolls in the wall, and it's a trowel with from the line.
I shouldn't even watch this video. The real experts are here in the comments. But none of them post videos. Strange
UA-cam always has an army of sofa warriors and X perts
@@tictaktico eeeeehhh if you have worked in the construction in decades, is not exactly at the sofa.
Funny how I never see people trying to film on the job site. Probably because everybody has work to do.
Not all Bricklayers ( like myself )want to post videos . You have no content but still comment.
@@mikaelgaiason688 exactly . I lay bricks to make money , not for ad clicks on youtube lol.
WOW! This guy is good! One of the most important points that he makes concerns furrowing. Although furrowing is taught, practiced, and accepted as the "right" way to lay mortar, he explains exactly why furrowing is forbidden by many architects and engineers. Just remember, neither bricks nor mortar are water proof. Both bricks and water absorb water. If anyone ever tells you that you need to furrow your mortar, just refer to the points that he makes: 1.) Furrowing does not fill the holes in the brick, and 2.) It creates a horizontal void that is ideal for collecting water, which is exactly what destroys brick work over time -- especially in areas of the country where we have a melting and freezing cycle in the same day (Colorado, Wyoming, Montana --- places that I have lived and worked). The water collects in the day time, then it freezes at night. This causes the water to freeze and expand, which then causes the joints to crack, which then lets in more water, which eventually leads to crumbling of the brick work.
everybody just needs to slack off on the hateful comments, do yall really think he would lay like this on a daily basis? he is going slow and showing detail to help people learn why is everyone so hateful?
I totally agree, I enjoyed learning from this video. We can get enough hate and insult comments from FOX news and other sources. Like Trump and his ilk.
i agree he would b moving a lot faster
Americans make a decent trade out to be something its not
Exactly people can be so solid and unappreciative that hes doing this vid to help others who have little or no knowledge.
Very good tips. I can use those on my jobsite. If he doesn't do it your way, oh well. No need to be haters.
You have helped me, at 73 not too old to learn. Thank you, and GOD bless.
I randomly came across this video and now I want to be a bricklayer.
My grandpa was mason my dad is mason and guess what I’m a mason and you can say what you want but the guy knows what he teaching and does a good job
I have been watching these videos and this person has a lot of knowledge and knows everything about this art I have tried to lay bricks and I'm terrible doing it and I can see that his hands produce not walls but a work of art and I'm just so happy that he is willing to share his knowledge with people like me and hope that his art can pass to future generations
I'm always amazed by the skills of a bricklayer. Most people don't recognize how many hours and years it takes to possess such skills. Great video. Thank you for sharing 👍🏻
Nice looking compo. It's quite different to how we do it in the UK and I don't concur with the furrowing point as I have never seen voids in beds due to it, but the job is great. Clean, plumb perps, nice brick and mortar.
Really enjoy watching you lay brick and instruct while working. I am going to do a brick pillar job soon and am ready to begin. Level, plumb and straight; great advice. Thank you for sharing your skill, knowledge and patience with us.
Guy makes it look so easy most people won’t even realize how good he is...he could go to Xmas dinner in that outfit after a days work 😂..craftsman are few and far in between these days
Lol yup right, reminds me of me and my pops. Clean masons, our Dickies were starched and pressed... lol
What is it Xmas? May be you mean Christmas?
joojjooo people are speaking about he is tapping his level and do not recognized all the knowledge that he is sharing.
This is the best demonstration of bricklaying I’ve seen, perfect for a novice like me! Thank you ;-)
Your welcome!
One thing for sure when I was doing this type of work, I was a lot healthier and a lot stronger working outdoors with this type of work. Then found a desk job and health begin to decline. So those cinchy desk jobs may sound good but in hindsight this type of work is way better for body and your mental stability.
What about my back, knees and hips? Started at 18 and 56 now almost 40 years of construction. Pays very well but physically demanding.
I am learning masonry and I was told you should not tap or hit your level.
Levels are instruments no tools.
+Ana Hg Im a grouindworker and i never ever hit my level as its too much money to replace!!!
A spirit level should last you your whole life
Not a problem if you've got a stabila
+Ana Hg buy Crick and u can do it,no problem, not at vials level though
If your level goes out of whack when you tap (not hit) your level, get a better level. And if you say levels are too expensive, find a better paying mason co.
If you tap your level all the bricks come to the the straight edge you don't have to hit it with a sledgehammer masonry levels a pretty rugged the handle on your trial works just fine don't mean you going to kill you level
Dudes laying brick with a Rolex presidential on. #boss
Queen sized brick? Did he assume the brick's gender??!!!!!!!!!!
No damper? I couldn't tell if you put weepers in. And what's the point of the paper if it doesn't extend past the top of the brickwork to be covered over top by the next trade? Maybe it doesn't rain where it was built.
Am I missing something? There's no window flashing, and the building wrap doesn't go past the top of the bricks a few inches either. And what about leaving weeps along the bottom course?
In uk we call it grinding and bumping to work the guage we work in mm as well.
I just noticed that hes using an english pattern trowel in the US, here in the uk all the boys like using Philadelphia style trowels
Not all old brickies still have game though. We had a couple on site months ago on a big job in Haslemere and they were so unbelievably slow. Claimed to be the tits but couldn’t even lay to a straight line. Embarrassing
Thank you for showing. The speed of teaching and explanation is perfect.
This guy does everything the same as we did including the setup,layout, and bricklaying.
We did our ties a little different- bend tie at hole near end less than 90 degrees- place on top of wall -tie will extend beyond face so it needs to be bent back making sure that completed bend is 1/2” inside of face of joint- remove from top of wall and hammer bend flat.
Make up several the same way on setup plank. Use 8 galvanized nail and locate nail slightly above brick and drive slightly downhill. When nail is too high tie will flex.
My wife worked for Local 1 in Norfolk, VA. She coordinated the apprenticeship, and kept score at the trade school competitions.
My kind of mason.
Or brickie as we say in Australia.
All the best from down under.
I like this you can be my teacher good job
Thank you very much, sir. I appreciate your teaching style! It's not as easy to do as it looks, so I had to come back and watch again a few times, but my work has improved since I began watching your videos. Cheers from Indiana.
Should be outside the foundation for the concrete parging no?
Also, the header on the third course of that lead wasnt even touching the level. Gotta get down and look.
+beckner4200 He didn't butter the foundation side of that header either.
😁The man!!! Detail instruction you make it look so easy🤷♂️👌👊🤙
The fuck am I watching ... i should be studying for an important exam instead of doing so im watching this and i even find it interesting :(
My Dad was a master bricklayer for well over 50 years. He always tapped the wood level and swore by wood levels.
I dont know why i always come back to this video! i enjoy your videos! but no need to tap the brick 😉
Here in England we call it muck or pug. We use sand and cement. when on the occasions we use lime and sand its called mortar.
Esta muy bien maestro ya quiero aprender más de albañil yo también pego la drillo cuando me sale un trabajo no siempre
The brick should overhang the block wall 15 ml in order for the plasterer to plaster the plinth
i didnt know mickey rooney was a bricklayer!
Need to see queen size brick laying for bond reasons they are 7 5/8×2 3/4
"Two of a craft seldom agree"
Never tap on your level cowboy
I always use a line to tail my leads to the other corner incase the concert is off any
What trowel pattern are you using?? Looks like a narrow London pattern ??
a true artist, they make it look so easy, I've laid brick once and it was a nightmare, I had morter everywhere but the joints! the one thing I don't like here is the fact the holes show around the window. wish they had "solid" bricks for ends.
Jason King yeah when I lay the windows I don’t leave the holes showing at all
This is great video honestly, but seriously what kind of math is on that tape measure
Allen Banks masonry
It’s called masons math
What I wanna know is...
How did he break a BRICK with a trowel????
the power of chi!
lol this is actually kind of rtarded
first of all a good bricklayer rarely ever need to use the level, only ever so often
second theres methods and tapes to get the bond right, also you dont need any of it cause ur eyes dont lie
this is a diy video not a video for bricklayers.
thanks we look forward to seeing your videos for bricklayers, but wait if you are already a brick mason why are you watching youtube videos on how to lay brick?
I've been in construction and don't recall seeing that type of tape measure. He's good at teaching. My problem was keeping mortar of the face of the brick.
Why wouldn’t you use a heavier sticky vapor barrier on the wall behind the brick?
This was in 1992 and that was the standard at the time. It wasn't even code where we are at it was still up to the home owner or builder and some chose to skip it all together to cut costs. But we are in the second driest state in the country so mold isn't an issue unless you let your sprinklers hit the house or have an undetected plumbing leak.
Bad habbits we have a flicker also try rubbing in your brick rather than tapping.Also with uour snots dnt cut them collect on trowel with out cutting especially if you have cavitys.Bed is very thick!!Still intresting vid fella.
The world: "We need more brick layers!"
UA-cam: "Hold my algorithm..."
My God Man!!!! This guy's skills are God Tier. Such precision and well illustrated..... piece by piece brick by brick...... he is indeed a pro and i want an entire brick house but i want to learn and build my own house from scratch. Thank you man you are awesome i hope you skills get revered forever
I’m no master mason. But I’ll tell you what.
Wanna know how good this guy is?
Look at his sweater at the end of the video, spotless! Master at his craft. Thanks for sharing your knowledge sir.
I’m building a brick 12x12 storage shed with brick, motivated after watching you and Mike Haduck’s videos. What if I am not laying against a building but just a single row how would I lay the angled bricks to go under a window, if the window has yet to be place into opening?
I'm a pretty intelligent guy and have had a decent amount of success in my professional life, however, I am always amazed at how stupid construction workers can make me feel. Their talent is truly underrated.
No damper? I couldn't tell if you put weepers in. And what's the point of the paper if it doesn't extend past the top of the brickwork to be covered over top by the next trade? Maybe it doesn't rain where it was built.
Stu crompton shows how to lay bricks properly.
This guy is hopeless
Then go comment on stu's youtube channel
Great teacher and entertaining to watch. I thought the furrowing was to provide two 'edges' for the brick to lay on, better than laying on a hump! But I take onboard the comment about why the frog is there, even though I reckon the trapped air would prevent full engagement of the mortar with the frog.
I understand a deep furrow is not great but the real reason bricks are perforated was because it saved the manufactures money and made them lighter.
First layed with a 20 mil bed 😂😂😂💯and breaking your brick with a trowel cowboy
