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'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 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!
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!
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 -:)
that's awesome, this is a art, very nice and very beautiful
You are an artist mate.
Protect your knees, use knee pads! Great job nevertheless. :)

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.
Those bricks you cut into shape should have been from bull nose bricks. In my humble opinion. Similar to those in the top right corner of this video.
i watched nice work... thank you.
Both myself and my father are masons. He was a commercial line, union block layer for a decade or so till I could flunk out of that whole "diploma" idea place they use to bus me to, year after year, (I eventually got my C.H.S.P.Examination @my local com-college🙄) My pop left a large fam in Dublin Ireland, at 21 to immigrate to Ca. W/my mom, an American woman & why the fuck am I rambling on about every fucking thing except, my wanting to say it looks good. Your joints could be tighter & cleaner, & remember.. We're not building an airplane. Eyeball the majority of those cuts correctly, bust it out, & on to the next one. Because Jose, is choppin'at the bits to do it 200$ cheaper, & he's telling the homeowner his end product is twice as nice. That's bricklaying, & every single other labor related industry, present day 2015 California! Let's not even begin to consider the possibilities of what obtaining some Marijuana grow rights, may or may not... Hmmm, No. Definitely bring to broaden th
Nice job.....but laying bricks on your hands and knees takes twice as long
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-:)
Great job hopefully more to come on the bricklaying side of things....I'm a young trowel myself
+luke medcraft Thank you
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!
Nice job cutting that brick, you have great patients.
Patience 🙂
@@descollins6616 maybe he's a doctor on the side....
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
1 to 10 I give u 4 points because u don't have mask .OSHA RULES
meu trabalho preferido no Brasil...excelente acabamento...no capricho!...parabens!
عمل رائع .. ولكن !! حواف الدرج حادة وتحتاج إلى نحت لتكون مبرومه .😊

Great work, a skilled man like this deserves to treat himself to a decent pair of knee pads
this guy makes moneyyy enough said
Beautiful work, work of art.. Thanks for posting your amazing work
yes really its very good skills
Very very nice job,id be really chuffed if i could do such nice work,just one thing,i was concerned that you didnt wear a mask to protect your lungs,brick dust is very nasty.
Oh god, use a brick saw to cut bricks
I liked watching your video very much, very interesting. Thankyou
makes me cringe, building a step over a brittle Aco channel, kneeling with no knee pads onto some rough old floor, rubbing water into the concrete base by hand, because it was a bit dry... you should never cut whilst kneeling, where's your testicles protection?
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-:)
Looks real nice Chris, I enjoy the videos a lot Chris. Have a great weekend.
+Britec09 Thank you
Muito bom meu amigo
Not much change out of 50 quid for that job I bet!!!! LOL!
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.

Very good ! , but , think disabled person .
Good work. Enjoyed every bit of the video
I shave bricks with my fingernails to get em perfect. I have adamantium fingers so it helps
First thing you should do and say is 'wear gloves"
Very dangerous way of cutting them bricks saw blade pointing towards your body the brick also kicks your in trouble. Always with everything away form body so kicks what happens regularly when them death trap grinders it won’t cause damage to person. Get the dust mask 😷 on also.
Horrendous cutting setup.
But top notch building of the step indeed 😎
Very nice sir
That turned out excellent. You make it look so easy. LoL I wish I could work with you for a few weeks, I could learn a lot from you. Greetings from across the pond.
Pete Ciallella 👍
Sweet!
砖瓦厂，应该制作出此类《锥形平头砖》供给人们使用（小型桥梁；涵洞；拱门，窗都需要）！！！--锯砖；得消耗多少人力和时间？？？西方人聪明吗？？？？？
Its quite therapeutic watching you bring back the skills, though I hope by now you have invested in knee-pads and gloves
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
nice job.good tip with the stick measure.thanks for sharing.
+thanxx Thank you
Good work man
i'd have used solids as the frost can get to them and shatter the face

What was the purpose of the plastic sheeting beneath the sand mix? Don't you want any water to seep down versus spread?
I like the new Amazon invisible lung protection
That's fantastic, I've just learned more in the last few minutes than us ever learn from a book. Thank you!

+Harpreet Singh Thank you
nice job man, you have good ideas.
O you who believe! Fear Allah and keep your duty to Him. And let every person look to what he has sent forth for the morrow, and fear Allah. Verily, Allah is All-Aware of what you do. And be not like those who forgot Allah (i.e. became disobedient to Allah) and He caused them to forget their ownselves, (let them to forget to do righteous deeds). Those are the Fasiqun (rebellious, disobedient to Allah). Not equal are the dwellers of the Fire and the dwellers of the Paradise. It is the dwellers of Paradise that will be successful. Had We sent down this Quran on a mountain, you would surely have seen it humbling itself and rending asunder by the fear of Allah. Such are the parables which We put forward to mankind that they may reflect. He is Allah, than Whom there is La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He) the All-Knower of the unseen and the seen (open). He is the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. He is Allah than Whom there is La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He) the King, the Holy, the One Free from all defects, the Giver of security, the Watcher over His creatures, the All-Mighty, the Compeller, the Supreme. Glory be to Allah! (High is He) above all that they associate as partners with Him. He is Allah, the Creator, the Inventor of all things, the Bestower of forms. To Him belong the Best Names . All that is in the heavens and the earth glorify Him. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. Quran [59:18-24]
Is life just a game? Is the only purpose of life to get married have kids and make money? You Deserve to Know. YOU were created to worship your Lord.
Realize your purpose through ISLAM before it's too late. Have you got any questions about ISLAM? then come to edialogue.org for a one to one chat.

sir ths trick is good but this trick is slow i want fast trick becouz pakistani building curve is big and he wants fast trick .
5:17 No matter what they tell you don't do this at home this can only be done by an expert (I mean the way he's cutting down on his knees)
it seems some comments below .. people just dont respect work ethics... come on guys just write a possitive thing stop being ignorant and idiots !!!!
Hello Chris. Could you please make a video about classic english flat jack arch, I have been trying to find a video tutorial about it for a long time, but unsuccessful. Thank you!
Great. not sure I can do it :(
Great Job! Looks Great and think I'll try it myself.
Great explanation Chris but dissatisfied with the half bond on half bricks. Bit more time and care needed and would jave been a grand job!
Never connect that to your house like you did. It will break and possibly break some of the bricks in process. Thats because the house and stair settle in different speeds. Also you filled the gutter over, like why would you do that? You can never replace it now. You also need to left a little slope on the stair for water to go off. In Europe, you also need to use non slippery tiles. Also you never put rubble in that, it settles uneavenly. And why you use that plastic i will probably never understand, was that supposed to be water insulation? Because this way its gonna break off the tiles on top with hairline cracks.
👌
LOL there never was a part 2, all the dust killed him the day after this video was posted LOL
That tile makes the brick circle look ugly!
Brick laying is fucking cool!!!!
speaking as a namby pamby electrician can I suggest investing in a pair of knee pads.
very clean nice work

How do you over come the possibility of bridging the DPM of the house? When ever you lay slabs up to your front/back door areas it's recommended to leave at least 2 bricks below DPM. This isn't possible with a step end of the day, its a step, it needs to be of a certain level otherwise it feels very awkward walking out of the house. Many Thanks.
how about nose protection(lungs) just say, looks nice
Awesome.But i don't know why there are so many dislikes.
very very nice
tampoco ai qe ser un máster pa ase esto un poquito de cabeza y vista
super working
Tidy. Just wondering why when you are bricklaying you are not putting enough mortar on the bricks to fill the bricks first time round. its so much faster and neat.
thats too much work shaping the brick into the curve just use the whole bricks and get the shape by motor... thats what they do in asian Countries..less time consuming..head ache free and gets things done faster !! my 2 cents
Weres your knee pads?
Chris is Old school :)

Are you grout bagging those bricks how Mexican
Wasg and apply protectant to your finishing stones BEFORE grouting
Perhaps close the door when cutting bricks. Also probably much better to stabilize the brick with some wedges or against a small ledge etc .
Terrible pointing got muck all over face of brick!
عمل في منتهى الروعة!!
!! full wonderful
Reduce Foundation Cost.
wow hes lucky none of the bricks hit him in the nuts
That's something you don''t have to worry about...you have none.
Nice job,but where dust protection (mask)
As with all building work...time taken to prep the job properly with attention..pays off well in the end..lovely job mate x
