How To Lay 3 Bricks For Beginner 

These beginner videos are so helpful. Have to build a small garden wall during lockdown, and would have been lost without these. Thank you!

Nicely explained, going into detail and explaining why every step is important, and well demonstrated with just the right camera angles.

Thank you so much Stu. I can't wait to build a raised bed to plant vegetables.

Great way of teaching. Nice to learn the angles, and approaches to getting the mortar just right. Haven't done a lot of bricking but always have trouble with buttering the ends and wondered why. Now I know. Thanks to the best bricky ever.

Best brick laying teacher on yt. Thanks from the states.

Great video for introducing the basics of bricklaying for the beginner.

Well done Stu, I've watched two of your videos thus far (The "How to lay bricks for beginner") and this one. I thoroughly enjoyed them both, and they kept my attention span throughout. Well presented and explained including the pitch, tone, and pace. Well done bro. Now looking forward to catching up on the rest. I've learnt a lot and a refreshment follow up to a course I took several years ago. Thank you.

Excellent tips for a beginner like my self. I find these videos so helpful. Thanks 👍👍

I want to be a builder when I am older cos I am interested in new houses

Hi Stu, thanks for this video. I would be interested in watching a video from you about different brick types. What are the different types of brick, and what are their different uses? What's the difference between a good brick and bad brick? Cheap brick Vs expensive. Just a suggestion for a future video. Cheers

Top teacher for sure👍👍👍👍

I subscribed to your channel!

You is THEE BOSS

Superb

Your videos are awesome, Stu. I have no idea what I’m doing but I want to learn, and your instruction is top-notch. Easy to follow, great amount of detail. Thank you! When you’re done with your practice “stack,” do you tear it down immediately or is there some cool trick to clean it up after it sets? Might be a dumb question but I figured I’d ask anyways. Thanks again!

Tenks. Good job. Tenks fron Spanish.

Good video stu

7:08 that belligerent yell caught me off guard

Some good bigginer tips there mate 👍

Nice job, Sir I have a question, my question is that necessary to make the brick fence double? Because I used to see some bricklayers join double fence,, thank you

I feel like I’m due credit for this one 🙈 Haha! Perfect video Stu! Brick laying made simple 👌 Excellent tips for beginners and pros! Nice one mate 👍

Great video. Do you sell Cornish Pasties?

I'm young & learning, I have a question if it's ok, Can I use clay three holed bricks to forge metals or is it a bad idea ????

Hi Stu, since Christmas I now use a Marshalltown trowel like yours but it’s got a funny coating on it which the mortar clings to. It’s starting to wear off and the uncoated part is much better. Any tips on how to get it off quick or does it just come off in time with use?

What size of trowel do you recommend for beginners? Marshalltown do a 10, 11 or 12 inch, London, Philadelphia etc.

Been looking on your channel as it's pretty in depth content (Brilliant btw). Can't find anything on laying blocks onto an existing concrete base. I have one from the previous owner but it doesn't look level. I was thinking about building my own shed. As wooden and metal ones are crap.......help......please .

Hi Stu, are you taking any jobs in Warrington? Thanks.

Hi Stu, big thanks for another excellent video! I'm subscribing your channel for a really long time, the quality of your video's is simply amazing for a noob as me, could you record some video tutorial how to build the cavity wall and use ties, insulation etc. Thank's a million!

Brilliant Video Stu! Love watching your content. Given me the confidence to do some repairs to a garden wall of mine. However I can never get the mix to be as "smooth" as yours? 4:1 with plasticiser and some water. But never spreads the same as how your mortar does. Also find that if I place a brick (engineer brick) and try to tap it down to place, if I then try to remove the brick to redo it, the compressed mortar feels like it lost lots of moisture and can't be reused. Is that normal? Thanks, really appreciate all your great content and hope to learn more :)

Stu am looking.to build man cave 7m x3m but i dont want peirs so i can board right onto block what block should i be getting

How do you calculate and maintain the dimensions and length of a Brick Wall? How are the dimensions and length of a Brick Wall arrived at so that it will work out to a perfect number of whole bricks without having to saw or to shorten a brick or having to plug a two inch hole at the end of the brick wall? As you are making the first run of the Brick Wall; placing brick, mortar, brick, mortar, brick, mortar; how do you keep the length of the brick run in compliance with the theoretical length and dimensions of the brick wall? A slight increase or decrease in the width of the mortar joints will increase or decrease the overall length of the brick wall causing you to saw or to shorten a whole brick or having to plug a two inch hole at the end of the brick wall.

What do you do if you have to rebuild an old wall, with built up levels either side of it, say concrete one side and a patio and concrete steps/path the other side? Do you need to smash everything, to bring the levels down and relay the foundation footing?🤷‍♀️😭😭🤣❤️

You make it look so easy! 😁 I have a question, what are the measurements of those bricks?

You have not showed rebar in the wall is it necessary or not. If yes why and how. Please guide me. I am confused by watching few videos where builder build the wall and it fall down with one push while they were planning to make roofing 😮

Doing my apprenticeship and course the thing I find difficult is the trowel having command over that is hard man.

Could you show how to mix mortar by hand please obviously with a spade

👌

Hey. Since when did you bricklaying and is this your job (are you a bricklayer?) or is it only a hobby?

Hi boss Can i join u as a apprentice??

Use your trowel to smooth out the top of your mortar pile then with the tip of your trowel make about a 3 inch long slice into the mortar then push your trowel under the slice and push down on the handle of your trowel slowly to bring up the tip of your trowel that's under the slice. Your welcome.

It will be more useful if you specify the dimensions (especially the width) of the bricks that you use

Добротный цемент

Класс👍👍👍

U make a long storey

I need to lay 4 bricks. Great video, completely wasted my time thanks mate

👌👍

When you doing another q and a stu 🤘

hi sir

I’ve been binge watching bricklaying vids but I started with yours and now I’m confused because the other guys I’m watching don’t butter the bricks or prep the mortar the way you do,they just lay the mortar down down and place the bricks

I'm 35 and in desperate need of getting out of my dead end office job and find myself drawn towards bricklaying. Is bricklaying a good career? Is there much money in it? Is there still work out there

first toberone, now cornish pasty. are you thinking about food when laying bricks? your motar looks like nutella.

What is the width of bricks in England? Because the width of the block, as far as I know, is 10 centimeters. Sorry if the google translator doesn't translate correctly.

what mortar it is? I tried some ready from shop, but this marker ready mortars are s**t, i can easly take out the brick after two, three days. what is the best recipe for brick mortar?
