- FORGOTTEN BRICKWORK HISTORY - Found only two results when I googled images !!!
The way we used to build over a small opening (no lintel or slate required).
PS - Apologies for "rear" view in one clip 😉.

Been a bricklayer for57 years never seen this magic always learning 👌
That’s great mate and probably stronger than a concrete beam. Thanks for sharing that.
Used it loads
I’ve never seen that before very similar to splicing timbers to create a joint and I’ve never heard of a Welsh 🏴 Arch. I will forward this onto Sid I’m sure he will find it interesting 😂.
This takes me back to my apprenticeship 😅
Nice, you forget about the simple solution on site
Nice idea, but most of the video was of your arse! Better camera angle required me thinks!
Point taken 😂. Just a beginner at this really. At least the "crack" wasn't showing 😉. Thanks for the comment though 🙏.
Crack attack
@user-vj1xs2lw9u 🤣
love it , going outside to make one now :), nice detail for kids play house 🏠
What angle should the cuts be?
45 degree cuts 👍
Sid should remember them, they're something you don't see or hear about anymore with ONLY 2 references on Google images.
Haven't done a Welsh arch for years.
Same as that 👍
NEAT
Thanks 👍
@@addbrickwork I’m nicking this! When I can’t be bothered to fetch a lintel 🤣
That’s bro
That’s brilliant

Have @Wonderful New Year's!//thanks
??? Thanks anyway 🙏😂
I love the Welsh arch, but I haven't built one since college back in the nineties.
Them Romans taught the welsh summut ir did the welsh nick it 😂
your mum taught them
@user-dr7zq5wy6k
Maybe me Dad did, but don't bring me Mum into it please fella 😉.
Done several of those over the years. My theory on the name is because they say the welsh are tight so this is a quick and very cheap arch to construct . No offence to the Welsh people thou👍
Strong x ❤ that's probably why it's used and I'm not a brickie.
