thank you for the videos - I’ve been stuck watching them for hours and love it Wish I had taken this at College, it’s like everything I wanted out of a trade/skilll Time to find someone to take me on at 21! Did engineering at college and have done Finance for the last 3 years :(
Hi Rodian. You deserve way more subs and views mate. You're an awesome teacher. You put a lot of effort in, explain really well and keep it real. Thanks a lot mate. My son will hopefully will be starting Construction level 1 in september and i know these vids will be excellent for him. Have you thought about getting in touch with colleges to show them your vids etc? I'm sure the staff and students would appreciate it especially in this lockdown (no lessons for them until september). I watch an old guy (60+) called Mike Haduck from Pennsylvania. He's very good. Straightforward, no nonsense. He teaches/explains whilst he's on the job. Sometimes he goes around to historical places/buildings and shows you what he thinks about the way they were built. He's been to his local college as a guest lecturer and visited a couple of masonry shows/conferences as well (showed a bit of the latest tools, materials and methods like stamped concrete. I don't know if we have anything like that in the UK. That's Americans for you, LOL). Anyway, just throwing it out there. Thanks again for what you're doing.
In Germany you would leave the lengthwise split bricks away and start every stretcher course with a 3/4 brick, just cut or hammer off 1/4 in length. then it would be the "Blockverband" (something like block bond). But you also learn that the "Kreuzverband" i think its crossbond in english is stronger, because when you take every second stretcher course and put a head right after the three quarters you get the stretchers with a half brick offset which distributes the loads better. Not that anyone would care, but i thought i might as well share my aprenticeship knowledge with who ever wants to read this...xD
Also if your peer (? i mean the thing on the left side if the corner is right) would be 3 heads wide instead of 4, what would you for the stretchers? only thing that comes into my mind ist 2 x 3/4 on the outer courses and a 3/4 plus a full brick to tie into the right hand wall. but i see even with the 4 bricks wide thingie you get cross joints. that would be a no go in germany, even if the thingie is 2m x 2m xD
I'm more of a fan of Flenish bond, prefer how it looks. Not so keen on the look of the "lines" the alternating courses gives. Cant complain about the strength though 💪🏼🧱
What mix do I use to practice? I have heard that the mixture only uses lime and sand, is this correct? in what proportions? Your videos are excellent, the best one can find, thank you, greetings from Argentine Patagonia
stretching out the strecher vs header plus three three quarters helps the queen closure header bond and one ten mm five frog bricks and half bond James
I have boots that are completely worn, but the thing is they are extremely comfy, boots if you wear them in enough mould to your foot its really nice. Hehe but there's a limit
We use this bond on new manhole for northumbrian water,I'm not a bricklayer but try to do a tidy job.any tips when you have to show the inside of brickwork rather than the outside?
Yeah tips on keeping things clean and tidy are , keep bricks dry , don’t use mortar that’s too wet ( cream cheese type of consistency) only point it up when it’s dry to the touch , and when pointing , the dryer the gear the less it smear.
The only tip others havent mentioned is to pay more attention to plumbing up the internal corners than the exterior corners. Hopefully that is of some help 🤙🏼🧱
Another great video thanks. One question, how long can you build a 9 inch wall without piers? Is the requirement every 3 meters. Keep up the good work Rodian.
In all honesty, I'm not sure. I would probably say double that of a single skin wall so 6m but I couldn't say for sure. That's something I'll have to look up 🤙🏼🧱
Tell me one thing,,, I have bless him, now 89 been married now 61 years mum is 2 years older, my Dad was like u, started bricklaying the hard way, night school etc etc back then, so old school ways!!! when we both built our Very big double garage, off the footings we ran a heading course of sand and lime(white bricks as u know) all the way round 2 courses I think it was at the time if I remember?? then just 1/2 brick wall for the rest of it... u didn't bother, or do u think this is just a waste of time. Although the crush strength is very high on those ie. very strong, Dad said this is the best way to go then obviously 1/2 brick set in the middle of the heading course> Regards Neil
Morning! After another sleepless night and numerous hours watching clips n vids from people I have come to the conclusion that the other bloke ( stu) who pops his stuff on line really doesn’t need more followers and to be honest I think he’s a bit of a blow his own trumpet type of fellow ( This is just my opinion haters , ) and I presume that the majority of his work comes from his channel ( fair play to that ) so why don’t you do the same thing ? Show people what they need !!! PEACE
Hi Tony, we all have those nights where we get sucked into the UA-cam feed 🤣 To answer your question, I dont want to copy what others are doing, I want my channel and videos to evolve along with my creative ideas without outside influence. This is the major reason I dont watch any other bricklaying or construction videos on youtube (to the point where I've blocked any construction content from being shown in my feed). I find my inspiration from the most random thoughts I have and places I go. What might work for one youtuber might not work for another. Maybe it's just me but I find UA-cam to be an incredible creative outlet where I can express my ideas however I want and if I copied someone else I would, in my mind, have failed before I've even started. Hopefully that answered your question 😁🤙🏼🧱
do a bit more homework my son , Quatta bond is the strongest bond ..... its a felmish with reinforcing .... all the best in UK from BC Canada stay safe
@@lawrencevpn ok smarty pants how many bonds are there? .... and i stand by 45 yrs of being in the trade and teaching to world skills level also being a college lecturer in bricklaying .....
@@lawrencevpn we have agree to disagree then .... since you're such a superior bricklayer .... ?????? go get on the trowel with Chaz then and bang 2000 a day before lunch....
This is precisely what i needed right when i needed it. Thanks!
thank you for the videos - I’ve been stuck watching them for hours and love it
Wish I had taken this at College, it’s like everything I wanted out of a trade/skilll
Time to find someone to take me on at 21! Did engineering at college and have done Finance for the last 3 years :(
You can definitely find someone to take you on, you're still young. I started my apprenticeship at 22. Glad to hear you're enjoying the videos 🤙🏼🧱

Brilliant Rodian, very helpful instruction.
Good day
Please share more English bonds videos, and videos for mixing mortar for practice
Awesome video
Bricks laid wages paid. Excellent video, thanks 👍👌

Very good explanation. Thanks 👍
BLWP . Change of direction change of bond I was taught 👌🏼. You can’t beat a good English bond wall 🤩🧱👍🏼

Rodian Builds 💪🏼💪🏼🧱👍🏽
Bloody awesome video mate thank you
Thank you.
Ur r awesome brother. Loads of learning
Love the out takes !!
I learnt all my bond patterns using lego... I like garden wall bond!!!
Brilliant idea!
Thanks
Thanks for the video, please make a 9 inch wall four conner with T bond measurement.
Nice one love the skills
What mix do I use to practice? I have heard that the mixture only uses lime and sand, is this correct? in what proportions?
Your videos are excellent, the best one can find, thank you, greetings from Argentine Patagonia
Great video bud .
stretching out the strecher vs header plus three three quarters helps the queen closure header bond and one ten mm five frog bricks and half bond James
I did think about making a james bond joke in the video......wish I had now 🤣🤙🏼🧱
What do you have to do to run the wall trough the pier? Should i do it simmetrically to the wall on the right side of the pier?
This is my next wall at college (English bond) I will comment how i got on with it on what ever video is out next
I have boots that are completely worn, but the thing is they are extremely comfy, boots if you wear them in enough mould to your foot its really nice. Hehe but there's a limit
That's exactly why I dint want to buy a new pair. Haye the wearing in period 🤙🏼🧱
Hey Rodian. How about a collaboration video with Alec Steele to see if he can make a Damascus steel trowel?
That would be cool but he is a US youtuber I think and not sure how that would work. Why not going to his channel and asking him? 🤙🏼🧱
We use this bond on new manhole for northumbrian water,I'm not a bricklayer but try to do a tidy job.any tips when you have to show the inside of brickwork rather than the outside?

In man holes you should use water bond which is very similar to English bond .
The only tip others havent mentioned is to pay more attention to plumbing up the internal corners than the exterior corners. Hopefully that is of some help 🤙🏼🧱
I'll do that next time keep the video's comming 👍
Like it mate 👍
please show a vid on sekstting up string lines on 9inch walls and finising top thanks
This is probably a silly question but I'm hoping to build a small retaining wall how would I incorporate weep holes in a wall like this?
9:41 surely you mean quarter-bond not half-bond? Correct me if I'm wrong please. Cheers Rodian mate
Is this how old houses were buil with no cavity? Just bonded like that all the way up?
First things First u need new shoes :D Good Video :)
Wonder how many use a closer the size it should be rather than splitting one down the middle?. Not saying you didnt though rodian builds.
Thought u doin a solid 2 brick wall
HI Radian my mate and i have had a difference of opinion can you confirm how many different bonds in brickwork there are?
How many bonds there are? Mate, not a clue. I'd have to look that up. How many do you think there are? 🤙🏼🧱
Rodian Builds, there’s only one mate.....James Bond.
Didn’t get a notification from UA-cam for your last three videos so I’m commenting in the hope you can make some money off these tight bastards 👍

In all honesty, I'm not sure. I would probably say double that of a single skin wall so 6m but I couldn't say for sure. That's something I'll have to look up 🤙🏼🧱
Yes, header bond is a thing
First rule of bonding change direction change the bond
Another good one bro x
Get them laces up mate
Another way to do it is to skip thw queen closer and start the second course with a 3/4 brick.
I've always liked how the queen closers look but definitely an option 🤙🏼🧱
Miss your waffling on brother
Brick, used is not reddish brown. Which brick it is?
4:03 the moment I was expecting 😅
No closer on the back.2 3/4
Tell me one thing,,, I have bless him, now 89 been married now 61 years mum is 2 years older, my Dad was like u, started bricklaying the hard way, night school etc etc back then, so old school ways!!! when we both built our Very big double garage, off the footings we ran a heading course of sand and lime(white bricks as u know) all the way round 2 courses I think it was at the time if I remember?? then just 1/2 brick wall for the rest of it... u didn't bother, or do u think this is just a waste of time.

👍🏻🔝
345 mate .and experience. Feel
Is water bond not the strongest??
Really comes overnight
Jumpy bricks ?
👍
Call other boot Horace
rodian quetta bond is the strongest bond used in earthquake zones
Quetta bond is Flemish bond but with voids incorporated in it to allow for rebar and concrete ....its the reinforcements which make it strong .
I didnt know it was used in earthquake zones, learning every day 🤙🏼🧱
You really should of went another layer..
Flemish bond is the strongest brick bond !
Structually the English bond is the strongest. Flemish is most decorative! Just so you know.
New profile pic?
Yes indeed......may have something coming soon 😉
