Good technique! Radius brick used to be made here in the states in various sizes. That's all gone now and 90 degree is the thing because it costs less to get done. Artistry is a thing of the past for most construction unless the owners want talent. Radius stoops and hearth inlays are a real challenge and you've done a fabulous job of reminding us of the old ways. Reminds me of what needs to be done to get a great job done correctly. We here in the states will leave weep tubes placed in the joints of the first course, about every 5 head joints or so, 3 cm above ground level, but even without them a step/stoop like that should last a good 40 to 50 years without maintenance. I have 30 years in the trade and appreciate you showing the younger folk how the Romans did it with sticks and dowels on their ground. Thanks! Bricklayer's Local 5, Cleveland, Ohio, USA!
I've been in the building trade for 29 years and learned off my father. your workmanship is just like his...old school and excellent. superb mate.
They don’t teach the old school skills anymore
Good video! I enjoyed watching you work
Brought back many memories. I retired after doing a 52 year stretch as a MASON. Built a lot of fireplaces with firebrick. Thank you!
Looks real nice Chris, I enjoy the videos a lot Chris. Have a great weekend.
+Britec09 Thank you
safety tip when using an angle grinder or grinding wheel: NEVER USE GLOVES, if even a small pieces of it get's caught up in the wheel it will end up pulling you whole hand in!
I don’t know why I love watching people do things I can’t and have no desire to do, yet still find it totally fascinating!
Lol 👍
Chris was my pastor, great guy
Excellent video with clear instructions - you do incredible work !!!!! I have a brick paver doorstep that is sinking in one corner, I can see that a squirrel or chipmunk has been burrowing tunnels under the stairs as there is the gravel coming out from where the stairs meet the house. Could you possibly show / explain how to repair this - the sunken area involves 12-16 bricks. Thank you!!!
Thank you -:)
Now this is someone i would get along with....I've never seen anyone as precise as me until I saw this man ....I'am not crazy after all.... ....
That's fantastic, I've just learned more in the last few minutes than us ever learn from a book. Thank you!

So beautiful, I just adore brickwork! Thank you for sharing your skills! I love watching vids like this, they not only teach me things and inspire me, but give me the confidence so some day I, too, will be able to try something like this.
Thank for your input, and I wish you all the best-:)
You are an artist mate.
Nice job cutting that brick, you have great patients.
Patience 🙂

Great job hopefully more to come on the bricklaying side of things....I'm a young trowel myself
+luke medcraft Thank you
that's awesome, this is a art, very nice and very beautiful
good job; i like to see videos like this without too much bullshit , cuz remember sometimes we are builders, but no good teachers, i include myself im so bad at teaching people, so that's why is better to watch someone do it, without too much detail of unneeded things to explain, who else agree
The music you added took me for a nice trip to bricko-o-land
It seems like there's a lot more work into laying bricks than I thought, this is amazing to watch.
Thank you-:)
Beautiful work, work of art.. Thanks for posting your amazing work
And this folks is a product of good hard work mixed with some skill.
It's very satisfying to be able to build stuff yourself.
Great job!
A small note though in wet climates give a bit of a angle for
water to run off.
Not to worry toss a little salt on the step during the cold months to keep the step from feezing up on you.
Thank you for sharing. Great job! Now `I want steps like those!
Great Job nice to see skills like this thanks for posting .
+John Gulliver Thank you
nice work..but the builder is polonia man?

All that effort for something that will be taken for granted and barely noticed. Great job mind
Work of art that.
+Bertie Blue Thank you

Great job. Things come out nice when you can take your time and do it right. On a job site it's a way different. My boss would shit if he saw me marking the back of the brick too.
Lol. On our job the boss would say "don't think just lay blocks"🤔 so now I work alone and take my time and do art as you
Beautiful job. Compliments the Black slate perfectly.
+Glenn Lane Thank you-always pays to keep spar materials from jobs. These slates were from my kitchen. I decided to keep the spars thinking they will come in for another job. They did, helping save my daughter money-:)
Beautiful work - a step that will last for many, many years.
If only apprenticeships were as detailed and as informative as what you have been in a few short minutes, I love landscaping and fencing, i love learning how to do block paving and how to do bricklaying and just learning practical skills in general, thank you for contributing to the knowledge I possess, a smart worker is an efficient one 😁
Very nice skillset. The freehanded cutting is impressive. I am a little lazy so I do your miter joint jig setup on a 10 inch tile saw. Really good looking work!
You made this look so easy, but I know what it takes to do it now after watching you. So ... I am NOT going to do it. What a great job man .....
Thank you
nice job.good tip with the stick measure.thanks for sharing.
+thanxx Thank you
Very nice!!
Many can do block
Many can do stone but
Very few can master brick. You're a master.
Молодец! Красиво! Nais!

Thanks lad for sharing! Nice job!Slainte' From Jersey
Thanks for the video. Another good idea is to put a 90 degree piece on the front of the trammel to make sure all the bricks a lined up square on the front and follow the curve all the way around
This method really works I made one of this for my friend sister. Thank you very much for showing how to do it😃
Awesome, glad it helped-:)
i watched nice work... thank you.
Excellent work..
You must be a busy man..

Nicely done, Chris. If only there was some way to mass produce all those cuts from a standing position. That's really tough on the knees!
I liked watching your video very much, very interesting. Thankyou
Excellent video by a highly skilled artisan..
brilliant method Chris, thanks for sharing👍
+Hamid Altubly My pleasure,Thank you
Excellent and making it look easy, and now it is after watching your video.

Good work man
The bricks cut with 5mm of eitherside are called voussoirs
Who gives a shit what you think? Where's your video.
Jerry Mack Did someone delete a reply before you, or are you not right in your mind? Adamn 96 gave valuable information.
bang up job. thanks for sharing the info much appriciated.
your a gentleman and a scholar!!
really nice brick work!
this guy makes moneyyy enough said
For me I'd need knee pads kneeling on those rocks!
That open space you filled in with rubble would have been a
great place to put a time capsule! :D
Excellent, nice job, you are very good doing this, congratulations👍
what a art .....proud that earth has so many great creature ........God has given damn good people
.....
Cheers-:)
Chris! The mix your using, is that what they call a "Dense Mix" only I'm about to embark on building steps using semi engineering bricks, I was told by a Bricky to use a "Dense Mix" Your video has come in very useful 👍🏻
Hi TheAudiostud, thanks for the input...yes, a mix of mortar that is more stiff than the usual consistency would be called a dense mix...
Chris Longhurst thank for your quick reply, I'm really grateful as I copied what you did, I got one corner up before the heavens opened!
Nice job, thanks for the video.
Thank you very much, it's a lovely curved brick step, but we've decided we want a ramp. Can you do a ramp?
Ah, good idea!

+Kadi Mohamed thanks
Excellent work!!
Great video! What is your process for cleaning the residual mortar from the brick surfaces once they are set in place? My amateur process has been to use a sponge, however even with many passes, rinsing, and elbow grease there's always a grey film left behind. I can never get the brick as clean as your final result.
Congratulations! Very beautiful job!
+MuriloSwis Thank you
Nice work buddy!
I loved the choice of music! :)
Nice Job Chris....
you put love into your work .... great work god bless
Woow amaizing
Thanks for posting, it is a very useful video.
Absolutely beautiful!
Wince job.
yes really its very good skills
Great work, a skilled man like this deserves to treat himself to a decent pair of knee pads
fantastic job. i enjoyed watching you work.
Thank you-:)
very clean nice work
Beautiful!
beautiful work!
+7DeusExMachina Thank you
Welcome! I honestly love watching videos that serve as my way of building the house of my dream in my head and this one is truly a beautiful work. Thanks for the video and for the time.
Many thanks-:)
+Chris Longhurst good work Chris. as a bricklayer for 15 years. I can appreciate a good trader. well done and thank you
+7DeusExMachina Thank you
LOOKS GREAT!
Sweet!
beautiful craftsmanship Chris I'm interested little more detail on what type of mortar you like to use and how you mix it thank you
+Jon Dunn Thank you- I used a 4 sand and 1 part cement...not to wet as thses bricks are a hard fired brick and that would cause problems with running mortar or what we call bleeding over the brick.
This is brilliant thanks so much. Can you just elaborate on how you got the angle taper for the template?
You can make a plywood/cardboard semicircle template and use a length of string strike from the centre where the wood trammel was fixed to mark out the bricks positions by drawing the line through and marking the 10mm joints on the outer circle and as you draw the line through you will see the shape it makes! I hope this make sense..all the best
Awesome job!
parabéns pelo seu trabalho eu gostaria de receber mais vídeos
I really love this, thanks for sharing. Have you done a step with the small stones? Also have you built a garden wall with bricks or stones? Thanks :-)
Cheers
Muito bom meu amigo
Great job sir !
great work.
I have a question - can I cover my concrete driveway with bricks using mortar or it's going to be problematic over winter and gonna need reconstruction every few years?
