- Mike Haduck a Pennsylvania stone mason show How he Installs Stone Veneer, Real Stone, Cultured Stone, using cement,Stone Mason. All my videos are my ways and ideas, and I always suggest when someone is building to ask ouside professional help.
Since I was a labor I always watched your videos -6-7 years ago your tips have help me a lot now. I'm a mason
Lookin to be a Mason myself. Laborer for now, and tryin to learn everything I can. New career path for me. Cheers mate.
As a 30 yr old second generation masonry contractor I appreciate you mr Haduck , I enjoy your content old and new. I enjoy all the different content from the explanation of castles what you like and what you see different stone uses to tips and tricks of the trade you’ve learned over the years, trucks tools business advice all of the above I have a business in the Berkshires and relate to you and your style of masonry. You sir are a national treasure and one of the few old school masons like my father!
Hi Scooby, I appreciate hearing that from a professional, it means I am on the right track, thanks again, Mike
You are a great teacher. My rock guy took off on me after I paid everything to soon. Left me with unfinished work. I am determined to teach my self and finish. Studying your videos this winter will really help. Thanks !
thanks, always practice first on something before you start the real project to get the knack. that should help big time. thanks again, mike
Mr. Mike, I can not thank you enough for these videos. My team and I watch these in morning meetings as we learn to build more things. We are getting heavily into patio world now, and this helps beyond all. Thank you.
thanks Curtis, I appreciate it. mike
I'm a true fan! Very grateful for your time and knowledge. My father was a master carpenter, a man of many traits. He built our home but passed before he was able to finish. I have since been trying to learn more to be able to finish what time wouldn't allow him to. Sure wish when I was helping him, I would have paid more attention to learning what it was he was doing. Guess I stupidly thought he would be with me forever. Your videos have helped me in so many ways and I thank you!!!
Thanks Mandy, I appreciate it, mike
You gave us the information and confidence to make a beautiful stone wall behind our woodstove, just finished. Thank you so much!! We picked up a mug to support your channel.
Thanks Marley, I appreciate it, mike
You know a video is great when it is ageless. Thanks for posting your videos Mike!
Thanks Del, Mike
Mike, just wanted to say you're videos are excellent. Useful to beginners and pros.
I am having fun doing the videos and hope eveybody gets something from them, thanks mike
Please, start to write mike with big M
A long time ago I came up with a saying:
"If you didn't learn something one day, You didn't do anything that day"
I learned the trick of shaking the mud on the trowel in the late 90's.
Also, it's ALWAYS easier to clean up the mess when it's still fresh!
I once mitered every stone corner on a fireplace. Wrapped each stone around. Looked like huge 3 dimensional stones set.
Bravo on your stone work.
A most enjoyable video made by a real professional!
Thanks Margery, Mike
Was in Greece in 73, I want to go back and visit again, you guys know how to do stone work and l love looking at the old buildings. wish I was around to see them do it. thanks for the comment. mike
Thanks, Mike, I really appreciate you sharing your technique and knowledge. I want to do some thin stonework like you have demonstrated. You give me confidence that I can accomplish this.
Stone the most beautiful and best building material in the world . The real deal
Thanks Christian, Have a lot of beauty, thanks Mike
One thing about masonry that needs to be said. My wife along with I assume other lady’s, love the end product. The problem is they get annoyed with the time it takes to finish the project and then they have another project lined up for you to start. I call home masonry the never ending back rub for the lady of the house. Your never doing it right but they want more. Thanks Mike, I secretly know she loved the flagstone patio I put in because she had girls night there 4 times in a month.
Hi Jonathan, I understand, they want to show the other wimmin her husband is better, lol, I think that is great, thanks , Mike
Mike Haduck
Ya never go swimin with bow legged wimin! Thanks Mike
Mike, I watched all four of these...they are phenomenal and very complete. I am starting with a small project (if it goes well, I might get more serious), and was having a heck of a time finding good information on stone "walls". Your videos are extremely thorough, and very VERY informative. Thank you so much for posting this information! I am going out to the yard this morning to finish up my job based on your information, with my confidence greatly boosted!
Watched all your videos then did my basement walls using your guidance. Turned out awesome. Thank you!!!
Great TIm, I hope you saved a ton of money, I appreciate it. mike
Thanks for your videos. They are great for people like me who diy to save money . Thank you
Thanks jenn, mike
Wow, amazing work! I lovvvvve stone homes/buildings. It just looks so natural and beautiful. Glad to see folks keeping a valuable trade alive and well!
thanks Truth, I appreciate it. mike
Hey mike I run into the same situation with the dust issue when I’m cutting stone . I started bringing a fan that blows the dust immediately away from me while I’m cutting. I tend to set it up to blow the same direction of the wind during that given time and stand on the backside of the fan while cutting. It’s not perfect but I feel it helps and also keeps the bugs off me if I’m working in the evenings and cool on the hot muggy days. I do not do stone to make a living but I really enjoy the process and results. Keep making videos because you have really inspired me and I’m sure many others. Mike from Michigan
Thanks Mike, I appreciate hearing that, Mike
Mike I have discovered that any cultured stone edge that I cut can be recolored or sealed with flat spray paint. It dries almost before I put it up. I usually use a wheat or light gray and black. I believe it seals the cut edge from moisture which I try to use away from eye sight. It never looks like it was touched up anyhow because I blend it with a brush or rag real quick.I usually do all my odd shapes ( filler) that are left at the end before I start mortar joints.
Thanks mike, it sounds like you care about your works and you are a true professional, that’s a good thing, thanks for the comment , mike
I am using "s" mortar and the stone is underneath a overhang, everthing seems to make a diffrence, the sand could be more grainey and you can't always trust the cement is fresh. If I have doubt I will usually add a shovel of portland, sometimes if it is flat work I will use nothing but portland. 2 parts sand to 1 part portland. Everybody had a diffrenet opinion. and it really depends on where it is being used, but this is how I do it. thanks mike
Thank you so much for putting these videos up. I'm very interested in learning these things and you explain very simply and clearly. I really appreciate your work sir.
Really enjoy the videos Mike! The music at the end was great too! Keep them coming!
Thanks ERIC, Mike
The way you explained every thing wid such simplicity....reminded me of my dad.....I find u Awsum ...Sir
thanks aalam, I appreciate it. mike
Good job Mike, we really like your stone work. God bless you! !!
Thanks Mike, love your work man always looks amazing im using the same stone right now around a swimming pool wall that's 10 meters long and thanks to you your videos have made the job real easy, and by the way im in Melbourne Australia down under, regards Lou
Howdy LOU, good to hear from down under, regards also, I appreciate it. mike
Mike...
You are a great teacher. Thanks so much.
Hey nice video, felt like I was back in my apprentice years, taking a day of no pay just to simply watch without pressure, haha wish these videos existed back then, nice practice!
this is how i made my mailbox. used 3 concrete blocks to make the base shape (1 horizontal, 2 vertical) then glued some junk flat stone onto the blocks. then just add a mailbox on the top. boom sweet lil original mailbox.
Thanks bill, that's great, mike
I like the way you keep moving on with your explanations.
thanks, I hope it helps, mike
Thanks mike, love your videos! Nice to get info from the working man not a Lowe’s worker 👍🏼 keep making them please
Thanks Johnny, I appreciate it, mike
I am glad it helped. I just keep posting the videos as I find the jobs. thanks sincerely. mike
I really like the idea of the paint brush. It make sense to me because it seems to be a lot more versitile then a jointer. The handle seems to make a good jointer and the brush can offer some sweeping, cleaning action. I do most of my work by hand without a trowel. The trowel is just one more obstacle in the process of work. Seems kind of like eating pizza with a fork, but thats only for me. I can work the mortar with my fingers when grabbing up a swath of what I need.
I have watched your videos for years because your so darn good looking.
Thanks M, I appreciate it, mike
In my opinion, it is true cement is harder if it stays wet longer, but then it is more brittle and can change color and efflorescence. it all depends on the job.----- sometimes I just sponge the back of the stone off with a wet sponge, and I do it in such a way that water is not dripping. all depends on the stone. thanks mike
I feel the same way, I keep learn something new everday myself and pick up a new trick here and there, stone work is like music, everybody got their own style, and some have made me professionally jealous, thanks for the comment. mike
Just what I needed for a small project I am about to start! Thank you!
thanks Cleatus, I hope it all works out, mike
It is true to constantly keep the water clean and be changing water buckets. thanks mike
Love your videos Mike thank you for info,tricks, advice 💪🏽🧱💯👷🏽♂️🔨
Thanks Mario, I appreciate it, mike
Great video... Thank you. For years I have wanted to learn how to do this.
Great video! Short, instructive, and entertaining! Thanks!
thanks, mike
very good point. and I wish I had expanded on that, I just did on (part 4.) this area had a 2 foot overhang and water never hits there. the windows and door was old for sure, I always use caulking around the doors and windows and at least two layers of black paper and tape to cover the seams on the strrofoam. good point, thanks for the comment. mike
Thanks for sharing Mike...we are building a house now and this video is really useful. Hello from Bulgaria :))
+mbarts thanks, lots of different ways to do it, I just show it my way but glad it helps, mike
You are an artist for sure.
Thanks Marie, I appreciate the kind words, Mike
Excellent. This answered some of my questions. I'm proceeding to dig up your other videos. Thanks
Yep , my cousin was holding the camera, so I had to say that. glad the video helped , thanks for the comment. mike
Really impressive Mike, great craftsmanship
thanks, I appreciate it. mike
@SaraJan81 I always said that no matter where I go masons do it different. It is really an art and I am sure you have your own style. I know If I was working with you I would learn something new from your techinques. thanks for sharing. Mike
well when I am making a video it is a little hard to talk through a dust mask, but "YES" I highly recommend a dust mask. thanks mike
Thanks for your video mike i have just started the front of my house its looking good i will post pictures when its finished
Great Dave, I am sure it will come out well, I appreciate it. mike
thanks for your kindness. mike
"I ripped this sponge out of my cousins car seat, I dont think he's gonna like that" lol that was funny. great video, it certainly helped me.
On this job it sat on a ledge. the ledge was previously there when the house was built 30 years ago. the owner and myself picked the stone at the quarry which saved him a ton of money and he did all the labor. check out the following videos on how I install it when there is no ledge. always check with the local contractors in your area for how they would do it. Everybody got thier own way. thanks mike
In Random Shaped Stone I Often say There's no Set Place for Any Given Stone. For Me the Object is to Build Higher & Not Screw Myself . I Totally Agree It's Best to Plan Ahead. Set Yourself Up for Success..I've an Old Scar on My Shin From a Stone Sliding Off the Top.that Stone Slipped Off & Smacked Me in the Shin. it Gave Me a Goose egg And Sliced Off Some Skin That Only Happened Once! That Looks Good. Reminds Me of Chilton Stone We Have Out here Near Chicago.
Thanks John, mike
We learned much from Greece, thanks mike
Good job. I do that kind of work and appreciate that, Thanks for sharing your skills
+Luciano Cardoso thanks, I appreciate it. Mike
lucky you,very soft stone haha.
I did a montana stone, 800 sq ft went through a 7" grinder and about 6 blades.
I poop bag my stone, no smears, but time consuming.
Good job
Thank you. I wish the times were different and I could try to make a living as a mason.
This is a great video and is very informative. Thanks so much for posting it!
, I know there is a lot of diffrent ways of doing it . So I always label my videos as "How I do it". thanks for the comment, good luck, mike
nice work my friend
i will try it in my new country house in south Greece
I thought already ! when i saw the video i thought : that is how we do it in Greece ! :) great work real craftmaship. You dont see it nowadays.
Great Educational Video on how to do face stone & culture stone!
thanks, mike
@autumnhillpatio your right , there are many ways, stone work is an art and everyone sees it diffrent. good luck mike
on this house there was a brick ledge. put on part 3 and 4 you will see where I used a stucco L channel to help support, my way of doing things of course. I usually buy the screen at the brick and stone yards. many times old lumber yards carry the L channel. call around and see. good luck Mike
any type of "brick hammer" usually found at the hardware stores will do. they all come in different weights. God bless mike
very nice work. I just hate to use the loud, dusty and expensive cutter on 1-3's
if I don't have to. I just preferred a stone hammer whenever possible. your the man tho and its your choice. I'm just learning.
Thanks Peke, Mike
I remember when I was doing stone veneer (5 inches thick) "NOT the stick on". 1 ton would cover one piece of plywood, so I would figure 1 ton to 30 square feet. could be + or - 15%. but if you buy a pallet that weighs a ton lay it out dry over the plywood and see if it is enough. best way to tell for sure. Good luck. mike
S mortar is basily mortar with a little portland in it. sometimes I go half S mortar and half portland, check out my "what cement should I use video" If I have doubts about using S mortar I just add a shovel of Portland which makes a big difference. I always considered S mortar inside cement. so I have no problem with it inside. my opinion, thanks MIke
I am going to try this next summer on my raised ranch's foundation out front... I think it will give it curb appeal...
In my opinion stone is more of a backdrop, and a form of art, So it is of course in the eyes of the beholder. but I have seen jobs that it is of course "to Much" so you got to be carefull . and carefull on how much it is exposed to the weather.. water getting in around the windows is a big issue with thin veneer. Good luck .... Mike
good job ,hercules en cualquier home depot encuetras esas herramientas y es facil de poner cualquier piedra nomas como dice el senor es como un puzzle

work #1
Thanks, mike
Mike, My inspiration after watching your vids are over the top. Thank you. I bought a 1940 house and I am wanting to put a natural rock fire wall behind a wood stove. The rock is chunks from a rock quarry so they are not flat like stick on stone. The problem I have is I want to create a 1" air barrier at the top and bottom for air circulation. I am screwing 1" metal pipe to the studs and then screwing concrete board to the pipe so there is that 1" gap between the rock and wall surface. The surface of the wall is 5' wide and 8' tall so there will be a lot of weight. What I would like to know is can I start my first row or two at the bottom with the rock resting on a 2x4 laying flat so there is that gap at the bottom for air circulation and let them dry for a day or two and then continue with the rest of the rock going up. my concern is since the bottom of the wall rock is not resting on the floor to support it that it might not hold. That is why I thought about cementing about 12" at the bottom only and letting it dry over night so it will have something like a ledge for the rest of the rock going up to rest on. Is this the way you would do this project.
Hi Greg, usually a rock wall that has any thickness has to be supported from a foundation, I would talk to some locals about it, I seen one sag a whole floor because they had no support from the basement, I hope that makes sense, hope it helps, Mike
بيحت الحجر يا مايك وانت تقصقصه!!
well u r amazing i had questions about mortar and u answer them while im watching
thank u! god bliss u
thanks, looked at your product, look great, wish you all the success. Mike
Great Job! A very didactic channel! Thanks to share all your experience with the World!
"I ripped this sponge odda' my cousin's car seat" ahhhahahahahahaaaaaa! Lovin' it Mike! great video!
Thanks, I appreciate it. mike
haha
Its impossible to answer unless I actually seen it on site. I would ask the local professionals. every mason does things different especially in other states where weather is a factor. thanks for asking mike
thanks for the feedback, mike
Hello Mike,
Your videos are very helpful and inspiring. I live in Canada and want to finish off my outdoor patios with natural stone tiles. Could you send me links of your videos and tips for this job? Should I use special cement bacuse of the freeze and thaw cycles in the weather here?
Hi Gazala, I have a playlist on my channel called ( stone patio). With 11 videos, they show all the techniques I use, Thanks mike
Hey Mike, your videos help me incredibly. Thank you.. I was asked to do a job for someone and need your assistance. I have to create a cement butt plug, is there such a thing? of there is, how is it made?
+William Brown I don't know, seems lots of names out there for the same thing, so I am not sure, thanks mike
Thanks for the video Mike, but i swear you choose the windiest days of the year to make videos. lol
Thanks FF, very true, mike
Great info. Thanks Mike.
+Ron Vogt thanks, I appreciate it. mike
@zidmt It is impossible to give any advice without seeing what your doing. I would ask the local guys first and then do a sample area to see what happens, thanks Mike
Hey, just want to say thank you, your video s are great!
Thanks Mike, I appreciate it, might
I love the video. I agree with others that you are a good speaker and keep things moving and thank God that you dont keep saying ummm ummm ummm. or like like like like. my question is where you chip off the stone and the cement of the stone shows how are you hiding that? When I do it I try to keep the fracture at the bottom if below eye level or on top if at eye level. Thank you and keep making videos, your good at it.
I appreciate the nice comment, I try, I would say it is a good idea to do a sample first and practice on that, then when you do the real job you will have gotten the idea. I hope it helps, thanks mike
After I strike I wire brush to clean edges of stone, then soft brush and it's good and clean
Hi Trey, what ever works for you if fine. Thanks Mike
over a million views Mike. that's amazing I can't believe it
Thanks Gifted, I wonder myself, mike
thanks for the advice, God bless. Mike
and he was holding the camera, thanks mike
Thank you much for posting these, Mike. They look great. Have you got any tips for sticking flat stones to a round surface? I'm building a fire pit roughly 4' across.
I think you should rig up a wet cutting system, I know it's a pain in the balls and will make you a little slower but that dust over time is lethal. Plus it goes on everything like on the furniture in the pool on the windows
Hi. Chris, anything that works, thanks Mike
Hey back Mike...just looking out for you...skilled men
like you are far and few in between...
thanks Dinos, I appreciate it. mike
don.t have to use acid if you are good cleaning with a sponge or the next day with a wire brush. thanks. mike
NICE JOB MIKE 👍👍👍👍👍🍺🍻
thanks Chente, I appreciate it. mke
Thats beautiful. Exactly what I'm looking for to do my A frame lake house in florida. I like the large size and all the colors.
Would you reply with exact sourcing and name of the stone you used.
Hi Inventor, the stone was called west mountain stone but you can't get it thin like that anymore, but I would check the stone supply yards or landscaping supply you might find something similar, thanks Mike
Thanks for taking the time to film and upload. I want to put a sand wash stone flooring on my car park/BBQ area. Most videos say to use epoxy, it is possible to use mortar?
thanks , mike
