This is the type of teacher people need. Very clear, very simplistic, no beating around the bush. To the point.
Some of the cleanest brickwork I've seen. Pride in your work is obvious to see

Won't let me watch it ? Made account and all
I was desperate to be a bricky when I left school and was on course for an apprenticeship before my parents brought it to a halt - "get an office job, it's easy work, better on your joints when you're older blah blah blah" basically it's led to 11 years of mind numbing work when I could've been outside, learning an amazing skill, self employed, being creative. Listen guys anyone reading this, learn from others mistakes, not your own. Get out there and seize the day
Don't know how you kept the face of the bricks so beautifully clean,well done you are credit to the trade
Why do professionals make it look so easy????
Excellent work!!!
That pillar is as tight as the jams 🎸 accompanying the work. Art recognizing art. Beautiful work!
Great pier🏗️🏫🏫🏫🏫🏫🏫🏫
Not a criticism of the work, but the pillar looked far better beforehand when it actually matched the brickwork of the wall it was attached to. Now it just sticks out like a sore thumb. Jobs like this also seem like a boundary dispute waiting to happen, considering a least two thirds of the pillar is directly in front of the neighbour's garden, and only a small portion adjoins the fence.
Pure art, surprised the neighbour didn't complain the wall was his.
The pier is not the neighbours. That’s why he changed it to match the other side 👍

That is a highly autistic degree of territoriality from the customer!
Good job on your part.
Shame about more building materials in landfill though, for the sake of somebody's toss vanity.
Of all the things people can spend their money on.....
Nice bit of pointing there Stu, Bonny job!!! 😉
Clean work
I haven’t done a weather joint in about 30 years! Nice and clean.
Lovely brickwork! Nice clean finish and lovely pointing!
Stu I've been bricklaying since I was 16 been doing it 4 years now and honestly watching your videos helps me so much...absolutely brilliant Bricky and keep on doing your thing! 👊🏼
Lmfao most/ anyone laying brick for 4 years that doesn't see this video and woopty dam do is less then focused to put it mildly
@@kevinwest3689 than*
Please keep on bricking. You're awesome. That's all, have a beautiful day.
You are very good at building
Pointing is tidy fella. Never done that type since college. Good job
Very professional 🏗️🏗️🏗️🏗️🏗️🏗️🏗️🏗️🏗️🏗️🏗️🏗️
I think you might mean pillar! 😂 Beautiful work.
Very neat brickwork
I see you really like your work!!!!
BB super !! Respect !!!
Very clean and fantastic 👏👏👏👏
Customer falls out with Neighbor: Fuck you I want my Pier back!
Nice bricklaying. Why would the customer want a pier of rather unttractive new bricks of a totally different color placed next to the existing nicer darker bricks? I think the colors clash.
Mind your own business
@@MLarios97 When a how-to video goes public, it becomes ALL of our business.
Maybe the customer has more money than sense- don’t think its a job that needed doing
Maybe because it's hard to find that exact brick. I've been looking for two years now for same brick as my house to build garden walls to match the house, still looking.

Always learning from your video stu!
Tidy work, love the weather pointing.
Your pointing is beautiful, so neat a real bricklayer who loves his craft.
How did he own just the pillar of the boundary..boundaries are determined over time seemed crazy changing that pillar that matched in perfectly to that wall already.surly his boundary ends with the post. Madness
Beautiful jobs
Thanks Stu really interesting. But the real star of the show was that pie!
i have seen all your video, you are too good
Excellent job
How do people make it look so simple. How he got the measurements so right to make the square fit perfect like that and all the alternate bricks all line up perfect remarkable.
I watch your work Stu as a retired Uni grad and have said for many years having an apprenticed trade, plumber, chippy, brickie, sparky beats the hell out of an academic work life. I realise it can be cold and wet but you're a prime example of superb craftmanship. People always look for a tradesman who works nearby and see a good job being done---' when you've finished that I have an extension needs building' The public look with their eyes, beats any adverts.
Great bricklaying Stu.
But my amp is with wasteful customers who always want to break something which is perfectly fine, just for matching colours and textures. I understand it gives business to the trade, but if waste overall was a primary concern I’d think planet would do just much more better. I’ve recently bought so much of construction materials from a yard who salvaged brand new items from HS2 project, and it was only responsible for 2-3 miles of it. But HS2 is 100s of miles and waste is astronomical hence the cost of it spiralling out of control each year. It’s already costing taxpayers 5-10 x more than initial estimate. UniS should teach waste management too
You've got the right mindset! Many tradesmen think a lot like you. I think it means you've got the right idea.
Good man I'm watching all your video. Thank You🌈
Nice brickwork. And nice old style pointing sets it off
I just made outdoor water tap structure with solid bricks. Although I used spirit level it is slightly inclined, happily not obviously (especially if you watch my yard from flying airplane high above)✈️😜
I learned from this video that all what's needed was just a little more attention and control to make it straight: I was using eye many times to direct me instead of my spirit level, big mistake.
For others: use primarely your leveler all the time, just as author presented here. Also pay attention on brick distance, which is IMHO harder to achieve with solid bricks than with hollow bricks. Pay att. how he immediately removes excess mortar, so he can use spirit level to adjust position. right a way.
Fine video, thank you.
Nice work that
How come you point and not joint ? You make it look easy just using pointing trowel ?
Thanks Mike...👍👍
Looks great buddy 🤩. Nice job Like 👍
Wow mint mate
That old wall needs some sort of weep holes so water can escape from behind all that dirt and water behind that wall then they wonder why they start to go out of plumb. Isn’t that pier in there boundary ?
Nice work
beautiful.
Love the music 🎵 😅
Super cool !!!
Great work
Nice clean pointing
Thanks for watching perri
Did the customer request a gap between the post and the bricks? I noticed the old one was actually attached to the bricks
Excellent talent! Keep up the good work! 🇺🇸U.S.
Beautiful pillar. It really shows how the wall has fallen out of plumb over the years. 👍👍🤓
Stu, why do brickies leave pillars hollow in the middle?
lovely, I wanted to see the blues and ball
You are very neat. Most masons make a mess while working
Man you are awesome 👏
07:05 Is attaching fasterners into mortar okay here?
top man proper nice work i am doing bricklaying in college and i wanna be like you and get to the same level of skill that you are at anyway have a good day bro
Very clean & professional job 👌
So good 👌
am takleing a pier for driveway gate current one which is in place needs knocking down due being struck by a viechle whilst parking and is unstable should be fun hope it comes out half as good as yours fingers crossed
Fantastic video stu 💯% enjoyed watching 👍👍
Are those engineering bricks? What was the sand cement ratio? Will damp and moss become a problem? Ever thought of using lime instead of cement? Was a reinforcing bar not needed?
Exelent work
Nice tidy pointing work, pal. No slop on the Bricks.
I have a couple of questions if you don't mind.
1. I note you torpedo level for every course but only every two course when checking for plum. Is that OK? Or just preference.
2. After how How many course do you need ties? 4/5 courses?? And is it ok to tie into the older mortar joint rather than the existing brick. I guess it doesn't matter, but I would appreciate any info.
Much appreciated. 👍
Brilliant again Stu just one thing safety glasses when chiseling you only get one set of eyes mate👍
Stu has cut and run the pillar, to the new brickwork he has constructed, plumb and level, on view it will run true and level. cracking job Stu.
Did you use any dye in the mortar
Since you built the pier on existing bricks, which were narrower, should you fill that gap with mortar - even if it makes contact with the ground? Thank you.
Hi for three buckets of sand, how much cement is needed thank you !
good job.
I did not know I was watching MTV!
Great video, excellent skills
Great video. Piers look simple but anyone who has tried to build one will have found otherwise!! You are a real craftsman and its a pleasure to see your work.
No wonder it's cool and so clean .
But should you doit the post outside about 200 mil the gap not inside to the rest of wall ¿
Love that black mortar
nice job
Nice. What morter mix ratio is that
I do fencing and my customer thinking about pillars
Watching your videos stu is making me want to get back on the trowel....miss the self satisfaction of smaller jobs day to day....keep up the good work mate 👌👍
Are the screws holding the ties going to rust out over time?
My Friday night is watching this on UA-cam so I can have a crack at some steps…
Hi nice video ,I have a question.. why do you put 2 metal brackets 3 blocks up? Thanks
Sounds like you're bricklaying on the M1 Stuart?
Nice work guys, amazing 🤘👍
Really like the great magnificent work you do stu 😊👍
Hi stu just an observation, why didn't you match the course of the existing wall and drill ties into brick instead of joint? Cheers take care
You are the best!
Brilliant video and top job, as always....!
Very nice
Nice clean work again piers can be a headache too
Great job stu. I love the armchair critics lol. Take care
In real time how long did it take to raise that peer. Engineering bricks. I understand you have to wait a bit for below courses to go Offa's bricks don't absorb water. All in all very clean. Well done
Hi what are the brackets called that you drilled into the wall please
How much to do a post like that as I'm knocking my my wall down so I can have open drive way but want my post
Nice work,but couldn't you find a closer matching brick?,also why the black Compo and pointing that doesn't match?.
It does match his property mate the wall to the left belongs to the neighbour.
The black point work looks modern and cleaner I think.👍🏻
Cracking brickwork as always stu
Brilliant work once again
As always Stu! Great Work Well Done!
