I appreciate your method your the only guy with a video I can find that isn't just doing a stone veneer over concrete block or preform concrete kits for the entire fireplace. I'm in process now of finding places to collect all the stone I'll need for my patio fireplace and base for wood fired pizza oven along with stone walls around my patio stone patio .
Thanks Bryan, you are so right about every mason having their own style and ways. something I try to expand on in my video. good to hear from professionals like yourself. thanks mike
Beautiful job Mike, you're becoming the last of the old school artists, fantastic talent in all your videos. I have watched and learned a lot from your videos,, even how to paint a truck. God Bless
+Joseph M I am just passing it along, God bless also, thanks mike
Beautiful job, years of experience, with building materials, and building inspectors, that's smart, get what the inspector wants in writing! Thanks for posting.
Hi Len, everytime I asked for something in writing they never came back, thanks Mike
I wish that you traveled. I would love for you to do my outdoor fireplace! You gave me some great advice for my front stair treads (slate) which kept popping during winter freezes. I followed your recommendation for using Portland to stick the slate to the brick form and they have made it through freeze # 2 without popping! Thank you. You're the master!
Thanks Cookie, I appreciate the kind words, Mike
Mike - Next time I'm in the area I'm definitely going to Julia's in Old Forge to see that fireplace! I had a date there once, good mexican food and then fancy drinks at the bar in the back that was constructed of glass block. That was late 80s so maybe you served us???? HA! I married her and we're coming up on our 30yr anniversary.
Thanks, I did bartend there around 86, Gary passed away a few years ago, but I stop by once in a while, thanks mike
I appreciate the comment, I know all masons have their own styles so I try and stay netural. Its good to hear from other masons, thanks mike
Stone Masons Rock! Thank you Mike, I'm ready build to an outdoor Fireplace.
Great video's.
Nice work. You are the real deal there Mr Mike
Thanks E,,, mike
Awesome video. I loved all the tricks you showed to cut trick pieces.
Thanks Margotta, Mike
thanks jamie, your california's best, mike
Very nicely done!
Snap cutting a clay pipe in the plumb trade same as the flu. Love.
Thanks Matzi, Mike
Hi bobby, there are standards, you can usually find out through the code books or inspectors. problem is many inspectors don't know what they are looking at so I would check with the fireplace stores or research the internet for your final plan. I wish you well. mike
Im not a stone mason, im a roofer i do my own stone work at home etc your advice has served me well thanks Mick.
thanks Neil, I appreciate it mike
It would be impossible for me to say unless I seen it in person, fireplaces that are outside to me would be less concern then if they were inside. wish I could help , good luck mike
thanks for the comment. mike
I really like the work you do!!!!!!
I appreciate it, I am just passing along what I learned from the old timers, thanks mike
I wish you well. thanks for the comment , Mike
Great video series.
Very nice, Mike
+Gary Lundberg thanks, dedicated to my friend gary, 2016 mike
That Looks Pretty Good, Turned Out Great!
As Far as the Flue Tile that Airspace is Good Insulation. Usually I've Always Just Tacked them Here & There With a Brick or a Piece of One. those Things Expand When they're Hot Both Up & Sideways. If it's Filled Too Solid it'll Blow Out the Stonework. Similar to a Damper Frame. That Airspace Solves that Problem. Full Or Empty you Shouldn't Have Chimney Fires.
Hi John, your right about everything you said, depends on how hot they burn it, never seen a fireplace that was never cracked, no one builds them anymore everything is metal, thanks, Mike
Outdoor Fireplaces Probably Don't Have Much Problems with Chimney Fires..I Think People Burn them Hotter & There's Not Much Flue Tile.. I've Seen lots of Regular House Fireplaces that Had Chimney Fires.. Sometimes You Just Shovel Up the Broken Liner from the Fireplace Floor.. Other Times it Just Gets them Super Clean. Metal Fireplaces Are Pretty Easy to Have a Chimney Fire in.. They Get Really Dirty with Use. I Have a Bricklayer Friend that Caught His On Fire in the Evening After a Fire Going All Day. he Thru in a Pizza Box & Viola "Waaa Lah"..a Rocket Ship Going Off in His Family Room.
thank, I try, mike
Holy crap Mike I remember cutting a Thimble... you call it... filled with sand and used a Brick Hammer... Or a Scutch hammer... Wow we are old... hahahahahahaa. Cheers Rich
Hi Rich , you are a old schooler. I can tell, thanks, mike
The quote from Psalm 118:22 at 00:40 refers to Christ being rejected by the world but placed by God as the capstone of his heavenly house. A common term also used in Masonic ritual and alagoric lectures.
In my youth I was hod carrier for 2 masons building a fireplace. I hauled the block, stone flu liners and mud. The masons didn't have much education. They only had 2 words. More mud
Thanks Hugh, I hear you, lol, mike
So if I wanted this At my house, I’d cut a square hole in the side in my house, pour a slab on the outside to support the fireplace, and remove the siding to the roof line for the chimney?
My house was built in 1890 and has a stone foundation, the main level floor could never support a fireplace made of stone or brick, I have to built it outside and access it through the opening in the house.
My house is 2 story’s, how do you attach the chimney to the house so it won’t fall over.
I have so many questions, and I plan to build a fireplace for my house. I will do it in stone, I just want to do it right. I have the ability, I’m just not 100% sure of a few details!
great tip about the inspector putting his wishes in writing
Hi Thomas, the only thing I could tell you is when I did that the footer would be below the foundation, and be much wider than what is needed, everything goes from there, it's impossible to give any details over the internet, I would do a lot of asking from the local guys, thanks mike
Respect.
Mike, I love your work and I'm glad you are sharing your knowledge. If you aren't, you should be getting paid for this!
Gary, son of a mason, and mason-wanna-be
thanks Gary, I am just passing it on, mike
Keep it up Mike. You've got the gift.
Thanks Gary, If I got any talent it is a God thing, I appreciate it. mike
You've obviously followed Ecclesiastes 9:10. Grace and Peace Brother.
thanks Gary, my might is showing down, lol but it is true,Grace and Peace right back at you , mike
Hey Mike. I am make my a little chimenea from river stone. I have a big bag of Portland and sand and gravel from my backyard quarry. Should I add something to the mix for heat? I'm using some wire fence material to build around. Should be about 110 stones maybe 150 lbs when I'm done.
Hi Rev, I can't really say unless I was there, everything depends on how big, where and how hot the fire gets,, thanks Mike
Mike, Love your vids. Very Informative. I have an older home 1940's that I am going to put up a natural rock wall behind a wood stove with chunks of rock not the flat stick on type. These are ones I have collected off my property. I am going to put a 1" air barrier behind a piece of cement board with some 1; square tubes screwed to the 2x4's. The problem I am struggling with is I want a 1" gap at the top and bottom so the hot air can get out. So needless to say the first row of rocks at the bottom will not be resting on the floor for the floor to support. So the question I have for you is if you were doing this would you simply lay down a 2x6 flat on the floor with a piece of tar paper on top of it and start your first row and let it dry for 24 hours and then continue. I am not holding you to any liability at all just need a little guidance to get started. It is simply going to be 5 feet wide and 8 feet tall.
Hi Greg, if you are going to put heavy stones on you have to come up from the basement with support, that’s what it sounds like you need something from the footer, I seen a whole floor sink when they laid it on wood, I would get some of the locals opinion, I hope it helps mike
Great advertisement at the end . Whats the food like?
Thanks for posting another excellent video.
Hi MrB, I actually worked bartending there in the 80's, great place, thanks mike
Hello Mike, Im rebuilding the firebox in an old chimney. The back wall is angled. How do I go about rebricking the angled wall without gravity working against me? Maybe an angled form to hold the bricks? Thanks!
Hi Danny, usually the same way you do stick on stone, wet the surface then the brick a little than add the cement and stick it on, Mike
Back in the old days, they'd make the stonemason stand under the arch as the forms were removed. That way he did it right everytime.
Thanks Dee, good point, mike
Jesus is the cornerstone!
our creator, God bless, mike
Gey mike brandon again from the Sault canada. Great work. How much did you charge the client for that one ? Im learning as much as i can from u
Hi Dank, that was for a friend, Mike
Hey Mike, Great video. Is there standards as far as the size of the fire box or the height of the fire box. I want to build one in my house but I like to draw it all out first. Thanks Bobby
can you please make a video on how to cut a voussoir for a brick arch or circle.
I did a video called. Limestone caps, carving, planning, and at the end I tell you about a couple books, modern practical masonry, etc also at the end on my conwy castle video, cutting is the easy part, geometry and setup is the hard part, thanks mike
thanks mike
No respiratory protection when cutting.. I use inhalers every day cuz of that.. looks great though :)
thanks mic, I appreciate , mike
Mike, did you fill in the space behind your firebrick and the outside walls with cement or did you leave an open space. thanks for showing how you connected to the flue pipe I have been searching for that.
+Thomas Brown leaving a open space will help with expansion, but if the water gets in the ice will bust it. so I filled it in, but if the fire is too hot too soon you could get expansion cracks, that is why most new fireplaces and built out of stainless steel inserts, inside the flue, lot to consider, thanks mike
Hey, what type of stone did you use? Thanks for the video
@ Mike Haduck can you please make a stone pizza oven video ????
Hi Johnny, I nerves did yet, thanks, mike
Informative! For an outdoor wood burning fire place, how high does it need to be so I don't smoke out guests? I have limited space under a patio cover.
+E Scarsdale I would say you would have to check with local code officials or fire company, that is the way things are now. thanks mike
how much would something like this cost?
Michelle Leon I think you would have to ask the owner for something like that. thanks .mike
When you pick the best stones first, what makes stones the best? Thanks.
it is an experience thing, you know which ones fit and look the best, I hope it helps, thanks mike
thanks so much for your videos. do you use a 9' angle grinder to cut the stones?
usually a 8' but I also have a 12" and 14" thanks mike
All that weight on firebrick? Why not support it with structural brick or steel?
Hi Paul, Steel don’t last on fireplace ,especially outside, and brick has a lot shorter life than stone, everything depends on if you can keep the water from getting too it and how big and hot you fires are, I hope it helps, thanks, mike
@@MikeHaduck does the stone support the angle iron cross member or does the firebrick ? I ask because if the firebrick supports the weight how can you replace the firebrick after heat deteriorates it ?
Hey Mike, Where can I purchase a flue for an outdoor fireplace like the one you have in your video?
try the local block , brick or masonry supply companys, thanks mike
What stone is it please?
It is called Gadio west mountain stone, out of scranton pa, some suppliers call it rainbow or other names. Thanks mike
Where can I buy stone?
Hi have, check out stone quarries or supply yards in your area, thanks Mike
The part 3/3 has nothing to do with the previous ones.thanks.
Thanks mike
When you lay the fire brick with 'portland', specifically what type of mortar (or ratio of portland/lime/sand) are you using? Type M, S, N? Can I just use regular Type N quickcrete mortar from lowes then point it with fireclay?
+Brian Fitzgerald I only show how I did it and what I used, every project is different, and a lot of masons use their own recipe depending on where they are from. so its a hard call to say what you have to use, I would ask the locals, thanks mike
+Mike Haduck ok... what 'recipe' do you use?
Brian . Firebrick should be laid with either a hand made fire clay mix ( 1 sand 1 portland 1 fireclay) or a pre mix fireclay. mortar would be too hard. It will crack. Firebox mortar needs to be softer because of the tempering from the heat and cooling of fires.
How much do you charge for building a fire place Mike ?
Hi Magoh, those days are gone for me, everything depends , thanks mike
Just out of curiosity what can a mason earn per year ? Estimated ?
Hi MAGOH, I never knew a rich mason, only ones who ever did good was the ones whose wife was a teacher or nurse or something in that vein. like a farmer their is too many things against you, I do not know what else to tell you. thanks Mike
Do you have a video for putting in the damper??
+Edward Perez No, nobody puts in real fireplaces anymore, everything went to gas and stainless steel. and even the real ones are being lined with stainless steel. I wish I had the video camera way back when I was doing them, thanks mike
My father is retired block layer, learned from him, I also carried hod since i was 8 years old. how and where did you learn to lay brick/block? Also, here is my most recent in my back yard ua-cam.com/video/m4r6Kr1Plno/v-deo.html
Hi Cary, I looked at the video , nice job, I grew up in the business and learned from the guys who built the churchs in the 20s and 30s and the wpa era, then did union on the skyscrapers in the 80s, and continued on from there, thanks mike
Its an Art and it's a dying one Mike the Teachers are thin one the ground now
Thanks Mike
No such thing as saws? How freaking old are you.....
