Worked with my grandfather one summer during high school. He wasn’t a mason but you could have fooled me. We laid a bunch of brick that summer. He told me that if I didn’t want to do this for the rest of my life I should go to school. I did and became a construction engineer… there were many days and many jobs in my career that I looked back on that summer and wished I wouldn’t have gotten so educated. At least laying brick there was something substantial at the end of the day to show for your existence. I’m retired now and appreciate craftsmen doing what they do best… create. No matter the medium. And, I am looking forward to a brick project this summer… let’s see if I can remember what grandpa taught me 55+ years ago.

I really enjoyed seeing you laying bricks. My grandfather on my mother’s side was a self employed brick layer. I’m told he was one of the best. I think he must have been because my Dad always said he could really lay bricks. I never knew my grandad , he passed a way when I was 3 weeks old. That was 66 years ago.

Then the next 10 summers I graduated to mixing mud and laying a few here and there for him. Thanks so much. I was smiling the whole time you were laying them brick!

It did me good seeing you lay brick almost exactly the way I was taught! Could've used 4" block in the center and saved the brick. Also metal brick ties would've been good to tie the inner and outer walls together. Only one thing missing and thats some method to tie your fresh work into the existing. But small job like that it will likely out live us.

Neat to watch you do something a little bit different. When I was a youngster we were adding on the dairy Barn we had a neighbor that was a mason laying cinder block. He gave me the privilege of striking the joints. I was over the moon about that. He always impressed me on how he laid such straight walls. I really did enjoy this "one piece at a time"....

You're not ambidextrous, you always use your right hand to sling a full trowel of concrete. You're multidirectional with token left handed clean-up swipes. I watch these Vietnamese rural jungle builders use concrete and stone, when they finish flatwork they sift/prinkle powdered cement into the float raised surface cream, then finish trowel it smooth. What's this finishing process called?

@@TheEddie1014 While your brickwork is impressive, I wouldn't go so far as to say it was 'striking,' it's well above average, no need to play it up so much. (Don't tell me you were talking about joint work) Jungle flatwork is not technically what you do. I could not find a term for this technique, their workers also briskly throw dry cement onto damp vertical surfaces that are not sticking well enough when adding veneer stone.
