ASMR Block Laying and Masonry how to lay 12" cmu block wall

[@henryfalgout53]

Come from generations of masons. I must say, you paint portraits with your trowel. Amazingly clean and precise. The one handing 12s is crazy as well. But strength is strength the trowel skill is most impressive. Awesome display of skills.

[@SolidworksUnlimited]

Thanks man, I appreciate that!

[@eaglesrule9709]

this guy is unreal....the way he handles that trowel is amazing. well done

[@beardedbricky7834]

Man love this video. Wish there were more like it on KZbin. Miss the music that used to be on it. It is relaxing watching this guy. We lay over the line but I love the way he lays. I’m sitting on vacation watching him lay 12s like poetry and just chillin. Mad respect. Smooth brother smooth!

[@SolidworksUnlimited]

Thanks Man.

[@stevierae6654]

Yeah where did the music go?

[@lupodemolition6699]

that's years and years of technique right there. not a wasted movement. It took me a long time before I could wrap all of the Technique's I learned over the years into one single 8-hour day. cool video

[@SolidworksUnlimited]

Thanks man

[@aldec2585]

37 years stacking rocks & blocks never seen better than this guy smooth as butter and strong as an Ox one handing 12s!!!

Thanks man hope it helped you out

He’s super smooth and clean. I can’t lift those 12” block with one hand anymore, I’m jealous.

[@cwinter84]

Kudos to that mason and hod carrier. Plenty of block, mortar, rebar etc. I can see years of experience in the motion of that trowel. Much respect.

[@ranmc9770]

Not quite sure how many times I have watched this.... pure skill

[@xxxspetsnazxxx6068]

As a former brick layer myself, great job sir, well done, nice and clean just the way I like it done myself. Kinda miss it now, watching this video, good old times

[@loganmannke9023]

This is by far the best mason I’ve seen with these specific blocks. Very impressive. Light weight block, tight beds and heads but still very impressive

Thanks sir

[@kevinm5564]

@@SolidworksUnlimited i've only ever spread mud with the back of my trowel in tight spaces or over head. I might have to give it a try. Seems to be quick for you, since you don't have tonturn your arm

[@SolidworksUnlimited]

The main reason I started doing it was because of tight wrists and it made them sore to twist so much, turned out OK after some practice now it's just how it flows naturally.

[@beardedbricky7834]

This is the best block laying video on the Internet. This is poetry in motion!!! Please put the music back!! Amazing amazing amazing!!! Great job sir!!!💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍

Wow, thank you, I'll see what I can do on the music, probably won't be able to do the same song as the original, but I might be able to find something that's acceptable. 👍👍

Start at the hilt of the trowel as you go up the block twist the trowel at the top of the block sealing it to the block

[@ajtweb]

The only potential waste I see (as somebody with zero block laying experience) is applying mortar to the block while holding it in the air. It seems to be a waste of strength/energy. Not that this dude needs my input.

[@brickbybric]

Are they 12 inch blocks that weigh in around 55 lb or are they lighter blocks made from light weight aggregate like expanded clay .

[@daveoneshot5681]

I'm a beginner.....why is mortar mix only applied to the outside edges but not the center..?

[@SolidworksUnlimited]

It's not really necessary, but it's fine to put it there, some say it's better with some say it's better without so the grout can flow in there, but not required either way by the building codes.

[@MooreProCrete]

Great work. This guy makes it look easy. True craftsman right there.

[@shaunsklarz6646]

What's your mud mix? Looks extra nice and sticky

[@SolidworksUnlimited]

type S Spec mix

[@cili7]

I'm curious as to why no mortar in the middle section of the brick though? I'm not questioning this guy's skill, its obvious he's a pro! Just trying to learn why he isn't battering up the short side of the brick (along its face, and also top and bottom)? You obviously save a lot of mortar, but wouldn't it be stronger to cover the entire surface of the two bricks touching side by side?

[@LF12468]

I've done stucco masonry for over 20 years and I dable in learning block. I remember seeing your video years ago and I keep coming back to it to see your poetry in motion. You were made for this trade brother. Is that wrist trowel action to get the mud to stick on first swipe or is it a rich mix mud? I have to know the secret to that please.

[@SolidworksUnlimited]

It's both, but if you don't have good mortar in the trade you still have to be able to make it stick to be effective and fast. Type S mortar is a lot better than type N maybe that's part of your trouble getting it to stick.

[@LF12468]

@@SolidworksUnlimited Yes sir, In stucco plastering we tell the mixer to mix rich for ceiling work. And a type S is similar if not the same as our standard 3-1 stucco mix. I'll get it with practice I'm sure. Thank you sir

[@PaddleDogC5]

how you spreading on the eye-wire course?

[@brickbybric]

PaddleDogC5 are they lightweight concrete block paddledog . Home Depot has the 12 inch block listed at 40.5 lbs weight (18.5 kg approx) the 8 inch block we use in Ireland are slightly bigger than USA 8 inch block but our 8 inch block weigh 25kg (55lb) .there 8 inch block are listed at ( 38lb) 17.25 kg. The ones we have are made from ordinary sand ,gravel ,and cement . The block the guy in the video is laying ,I'm thinking must have some kind of lightweight aggregate as an ingredient in there manufacture . Any info on this paddledog.

[@PaddleDogC5]

Home Depot block are concrete and heavy. TD block is not 40.5 pounds at least in my area. They use local manufacturers to make their CMU, Then they pay them months and months later. Local suppliers near me stopped selling to them. We have 24" long block here now made from light weight aggregate.

[@PaddleDogC5]

Commercial light weight concrete 8"x8"x16" in New York is 39 dry.

If you line up the bottom of your block flush with the block below and to the line, your as good as level and plumb as you can get, no need to level every block.
