I have a serious urge to build one of these for absolutely no reason 😍
To crawl through of course.
This is why I am going to start training to be a Bricklayer in September, so I really think this is amongst the best of your projects... Yes, you can earn money building houses, but just imagine what you can do in garden landscaping.
UA-cam at its finest. Free education by someone at the top of his game. Thanks man!
I come from a long line of brick masonry's. My dad wanted someone to carry on the tradition, but he had 3 girls.
Fortunately for him his youngest daughter loves the craft. I never realized I would but here I am at 24, after graduating with double science majors, researching how to become a brick masonry and watching videos like yours to get ideas on my first serious build to surprise my dad with.
❤😊
I have been running renovation projects for years in the north west and your work is as good if not better than most bricklayers I work with .
Very impressed your work and attention to detail is second to none
Cheers Chris pal 👍
Yes! I am a Carpenter and I build more things out of non wood products then I do with actual wood! Its really nice when I get a chance to build something using traditional methods and materials. Great job! Thank you for sharing this video with us.
I do a lot of restoration as a carpenter on period properties and have seen a lot of arches dismantled and rebuilt. Definitely an art to getting it looking visually correct as well as structurally sound.
I spent 40 yrs in the business my friend and that is some of the finest brick work I’ve ever seen.
You have the touch
👍🏻🇺🇸
thanks buddy i appreciate that coming from you :)

Your welcome young man.
Can an old man give you some advice ? Find ways to cut and manipulate the bricks and stone you work with. Your use of a brick saw is smart. I say this because I ruined my hands after a lifetime of holding the brick in one hand and chipping away with the other. I wish I had worked smarter. My hands are crippled with arthritis now and I’m kept from doing what I love.
Awesome craftsmanship Stu, just wonderful work.
Stay safe, always wear some well padded gloves.
In 42 yrs , I never wore a glove and my hands look like Hell and feel worse. I can’t even hold a cup of tea anymore without using both hands.
I was always working harder and longer than my employees to set an example. I wish I had been more careful.
Anyways, enough out of me. Good luck my friend.
EPK🇺🇸
those bricks are beautiful and your bricklaying is really well done. This is skilled work that deserves pay befitting the skill. I wish we had builders like you in my country!
In Roman times they used to make the architect to stand under the arch when they removed the support scaffolding to prove that he was confident in his plans and builders =)
Loved the video!
Thank you for the awesome music as well
Now, that was absolutely brilliant.
A great example of a modern take on the ability of a builder/ mason to form an arch to a degree of accuracy that pleases the eye, and therefore is automatically seen as being in equilibrium.
Thankyou.
No thankyou for watching
I like how you accented out the "keystone" slightly, it's small flourishes like this that sets your work above the ordinary. I could even see this as a small garden feature for non-brickies looking to test their DIY ability . great music on this too!
I was a brick layer for years I love seeing masonry work still, I still do some work once in a while, he's a good mason
Highly skilled work. You make it look so easy and I know from trying to build a similar arch myself, they're far from easy! Well done, thank you for posting.
Thanks pal
Proud to have this mon from Wigan 👍🏻
Dry stone waller here mate. Have to say your work is tip top!
Former bricklayer here.. good job, plumb, level, perfect. 👍
Never seen the color added on top of joint like that, we used to add color to our mortar while mixing in the beginning
What about gauging it? Doesn't every bed and joint have to be 10mm
@@jakehindmarsh4634 Why 10mm.
@@johnclark7049 in the UK to get the perfect brickwork you have to have 10m joints and 10m beds it's how am getting taught in college
@@jakehindmarsh4634 go and have a look at some 100 year old brick houses fella you'll see that gauge wasn't so important... but they're still here... 100 years later.
Maybe if you're using an old sandy silo muck with lime, and building with a glorified insulation block with a powdered coating, then you need 10mm gauge, but if you're making a proper mortar, and using real bricks, then gauge can be smaller.
Wonderful job Stu!
This is by far the best thing you've done. It looks spot on!
It’s 3am and i’m glad i learned how to build a brick arch. Awesome video!!
Thanks 😁😁
Beautiful work. Nice to know there are still skilled craftsmen out there
I love watching stus stuff while I wait on my crew since I'm always the first one. It pumps me up to go throw a whole cube of brick in the wall. Heck I'm watching and waiting for everyone as I type this. You rock brother keep up the hard work because you are a success driven man who can see the top and what you want in life and know and understand you have to plan and set short term and long term goals and work and stop at nothing to achieve them.
Outstanding job and great attention to detail. You cut the bricks perfectly and all the perps are evenly spaced; a really beautiful job.
You are an artist mate.
Fantastic professionalism. Thanks You for the master class
That’s some fine workmanship there 👌🏻
Hello stu I am laying bricks 40 years never think of doing work like that we take it for granted the art that’s in it ,lovely work young man cheers ☘️😉👍
Been a bricky 37 yrs an I enjoy this guys work it’s tops.
Thank you for this video, I like when the work is done the best way
What a beaut of a job well done
Quality Stu! I passed my level 2 in 2009 but don't work on the trowel any longer. I still work in House Building so I've got a good eye for detail and that, my friend, is a cracking bit of brickwork!!
Absolutely lovely brick work. Can not stop watching your videos mate. Making me want to get into brick laying. Fantastic
Wow he's a really good brick layer
That’s what happens when you go to college. You learn these skills. I’ve been a gas engineer for nearly 50 years. I am very impressed my friend.
I am stunned at the beautiful skill and neatness. Fantastic job Stu. Really nice work from a top tradie.
Nice work dude, one of the most professional and neatest brick laying training video I've seen. Put more of them out there.
Very clean work Stu 👍

You. Are. A. Genius. I'm into home building myself and only just now started wondering "Where is it written that windows have to be square?"
Spot on that Stu mate!
You inspire many of us to learn the art of bricklaying, keep up the good work & the vids!
This is western civilization... Pride in excellence. A thousand year march, striving to achieve something worthy. Something that should last... Watching a master craftsmen create with exactness has warmed my heart...
great passion and attitude my man, and i agree with your niece, good.its a shame that these's days on site most arches come stuck to the front of a lintel and skill's are being forsaken .
Thanks buddy and that’s true although if I build a house there will be features like this in it.
Fantastic bricklayer if anyone says else wise they are jelous. Well done
Thanks buddy
Stu
Great job, that will make a perfect window surround,
I love to watch a true professional do his thing. Great video!
Fantástico!!! Buen trabajo amigo 😉
Brilliant. Thank you.
thanks for watching sarah
to get your angles you can use plexiglass, cut plexiglass same size as brick, you can see through it and use a marker to mark angles and then transfer marks to brick makes precise cuts . brick mason , Evansville, Indiana, you are a great mason, try grout bag for pointing , also I like music.
Exquisite work. You can not beat the old style craft, you do not see work like that anymore.
How can anyone dislike this? Lovely job and skilled.
Cheers Karl, trolls will be troll mate that’s their purpose in life.
Im a joiner on site .i would love to follow brick layers who build as neat as you.good job mate !
Cheers Chris pal appreciate that
Chris Walmsley that what happens when they want the houses thrown up and sold quick you get price work gangs in
OMG, at 39 seconds in, "What do you think of Uncle Stu's bricklaying?" her response and the look on her face was awesome Sir, lol. This was an amazing video and the music was uplifting. There is so much more than how to build a brick arch here. For instance, how to make an instructional video.
Absolutely superb Stu. Completely in awe of that 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Very good. Excellent mellow weekend music too. Enjoyed it, no songs of mine yet though :(
Nice job but next time adjust arch height on coursing. By doing this the last stretcher course will hit top of key brick as not to have sliver over arch. Clean work. Bravo
I concur too
Boss.
I’ve made a snare drum using staves like that.
Obvs. It was round.
But it’s still cutting wedges.
I made it from a bit of solid wood worktop I had left over.
Worked out really well that.
I gave it to my daughter in the end.
Anyway!
Voussiors!
I’ve got a brick arch to build for a mate now.
So thanks again for all your vids stu.
Boss resources mate. 👊😎
Excellent, very beautiful clean work my friend! 😁👍
Pete from Yuma, AZ U.S
Enjoyed the instructional and the music at the 5:28 mark , could not find it on epidemicsound. Would like to buy it. My sister said the window is beautiful and your creativity is awesome as well as your skill and also enjoyed the sound.
Thanks Ted I can’t remember the track now it was a while ago
I love it ... so beautiful... keep going.... how the arch keep standing so quickly?
Arch shaped structured stand under their own weight thats why so many bridges are built in this shape.
Great job, great music, and I love your assistant.
Smashing bit of brickwork, you’re 100% right mate all you need is your level 2 as long as you’re in with a good squad you can learn everything on site.

stu crompton never ever thought to use a chopper on brick.

👍
What's the black stuff you finally finished with?
Black dyed mortar
حلووووووووووووو

Top job! How did work out the angles for cutting the arch bricks? Cheers
just did it by eye mate
stu crompton Cheers mate. Keep up the good work!
Привет, все отлично,Мастер, удачи тебе!!,
Вряд-ли он вас понял)
Awesome job stu! Clearly your passionate about the craft as am I. I feel like i learn something new with each video you put out. Thanks again
Jon Goncalves c
Just a little tip for apprentices or other people wanting to learn. When you do your cuts around the arch, if the joint width is less than the thickness of the other bricks and you are able to lay the brick, i.e. the cut isn't too big, lay the brick in place and later when you are pointing up you can use a grinder with a diamond blade to make the joint width match that of the surrounding bricks. By only cutting the brick face back by 10mm deep, when you later joint/point up the wall it will be invisible but give the appearance of the same width joint. If that makes sense. Good video Stu.
That’s is very confusing for anyone to read even me lol thanks for the advice tho
Basically you can neaten up your cuts around the arch ring/voussoir bricks with a grinder so they are all equal. Any better? I did a Gothic arch as one of my choices for NVQ 3 test panels. Cheers
I am a retired Bricklayer, many moons ago, i was on site, when the foreman said he have a lad that has just finished his apprenticeship, and would i just nurse him into the job, no problems i said, Well the young lad started, i worked out the bond, and said to him put your corner up working to the gauge marks, i kept looking down the line to him, and he was scratching his head,i asked him what was wrong, he told me he was unsure how to start. so i started him off, Poor lad had not got a clue, after a chat he told me he had served a 3year apprenticeship, BUT, he did a bit of plumbing, a bit of plastering,a bit of joinery, and he though Bricklaying was his best skill, how sad 3 years wasted, i try to help him out as much as i could but the foreman was watching at a distance, and sacked him after 4 days, the young lad said ''Please don't sack me i will just go labouring". I say again HOW SAD. I was happy to take him on but the foreman let him go.The government need to, as they did in the past subsidies the firms to train apprentices properly.
Maybe he bragged his way into that position les. If you do an NVQ now it’s a very thorough course both practical and theory. That being said the are a lot of quick fix courses out there for every trade and we all know there is no quick fix or fast track to being competent at anything.
It is a shame..But he should have been honest from the start.
Les Gill happened to me to, I was lucky I went with an older brick after my apprenticeship, he soon brought me up to speed.
once again Government is well intentioned schools not carefully vetted taking the tax payers money and not producing quality.
Unfortunately - this is a fact of the modern skills shortage and the 20 year gap for apprenticeship from 1985 to 2005 when the NVQ etc got under way.... Starting to be a real problem on all trades
Great video Stu, but the most important question is "How do you figure the wedge angles"?
Cut them on the radius of the circle
@@joekenlan6377 I'm not sure I follow...
Hey Stu, came across your channel the other day and I have been fully engrossed in all your videos, I think I've watched about 15 or so! They are so informative! You make it look so easy! I'm going to be knocking down a little wall in my garden and I'm gonna attempt to make a new one, hopefully better than the one that's there at the moment, as its terrible!
Thanks Stu ,you're a gent for showing how it's done properly.

Muy buena esa arcada fantastica un genio el ruso yo tambien soy albañil y m gusta ver gente joven que les guste este oficio ami m gusta
Lovely brick work. I was trained in S.A. with coloured bricklayers.Excellent craftsmen. Miss it much.
Holy cow, that is stunning!
Good jop ...
Missing some details
The cutting process
you wont need to do any cuts, theyre already done, did you watch the video
Well done Stu, putting the skill in there , top result !!
Love watching your videos! Excellent work
Beautiful work my friend, you have an excellent eye for detail.
Looks great!, always a clean and tidy Bricky! 👍
Congratulations for the super good work demo!
I have been watching brick layers and listening to tutorials.
Loved the push of the last brick and seeing it just hold.
I really love arches in building.
Beautiful gothic brick arch demo. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice work. The pointed gothic arch when done is brick is also nice to do with a mitered halfbrick on each side rather than a centered keystone. The centered keystone rounds off the pointedness of the pointed arch. Look att Bergen red brick church for example. Also, sometimes leaving the joints in a tan or earth color is also nice.
I'm not really interested in things like this but this is truly a work of art. And the music behind went perfectly
U did it stu. Been with u from the beginning. Over a million views. Fellow mason. Lots.of love from the usa
Appreciate it buddy 😁
Beautifully built. Nice selection of music.
flippin' brilliant that. well done
Love the saw stu
I'm just out of words! You are so awesome man! You completely rock! Thanks a lot for creating such lovely videos! :) :)
beautiful work, stu
True inspiration for our next generation thanks stu you are a blessing to watch well done .. id love to see one of home barby build
Stunning work, Stew. Not enough brickwork like this being built nowadays. A real shame. It really shows off your skill.
i know mate sad aint it, but i like to Incorporated it into my work
Beautifully clean.
That's a great job Stu. I like the use of the chopsaw
Just incredible work Stu !!
Really impressive and beautiful artwork in brick. Well done, a real inspiration.
