The three centered arch is my favorite

That's gorgeous! Stay blessed!

Thank you Lakesha ;) god bless you

Great video. I must say that its a bit scary to watch. I have more respect for the mason than ever before. When you get up close, you realize that this is less of a tightly-engineered structure and more like a pile of rocks that is expertly fitted and adhered together by skilled craftsmen. I'll never walk by (or under) one of these old arches without thinking about the expertise of the guys that make them.

Shyam cheers mate 😀👌🏻

Did you use F-clamps to connect that arch formwork to the walls?

[@JayKTS]

Dank u wel 😊

[@JayKTS]

Yes I believe I did

[@isakaldazwulfazizsunus7564]

The wind is probably what I hate the most about working outdoors in Belgium. Nice job on the restructuration ;)

[@JayKTS]

Thanks a lot man 🙏🏼

[@tommyb5244]

This is a real bricklayer. Make the uk look like beginners

[@KenFullman]

Because in the UK we don't have any brick built arches? Like the entire London Underground rail network (the first in the world) was made of preformed plastic? Or the sewage system of London with all those miles of brickbuilt tunnels made possible by the British invention of portland cement. Yeah, we're just learning.

[@thefowlyetti2]

looks a bit rustic to be honest.

[@badgoy8439]

nice to see real structural masonry still being built

[@stevemariner5980]

Nice, you don’t see many 3 centered arches built these days

[@JayKTS]

Cheers mate ;)

[@garethheathcote4988]

@jay puyenbroeck that's outstanding work, in a carpenter so my job would be to construct the arch formers for you. I understand just how much work involved in you building those arches and how complex it was. You should be very proud of your work! 👍🙂 And you managed to do it in that rubbish weather and wind that makes you just want to go sit at home. A true craftsman. 👍👍👍🙂

[@JayKTS]

Thank a lot mate 🙏🏻, , much appreciated 😊 , yes the conditions didn’t make it easier lol and yes ... it’s a lot of work not everybody can notice this if they haven’t made it before , I also underestimated these arches 😁

[@anthonymisell8845]

Now you are a master bricklayer, and your works will be around long after your gone

[@JayKTS]

Thanks a lot , Anthony !! Very cool thought there 😎 🙏🏻

[@beardedbricky7834]

Looks awesome bro! Crazy that y’all cut the joints then get another crew to repoint everything! Love how everyone does it different! Top work brother!! Keep grinding homie💯🧱🔥🍺🤙

[@JayKTS]

Thanks a lot bricklaying brother 😎

[@isakaldazwulfazizsunus7564]

Yeah it seems that they do that a lot in Belgium for some reason, sometimes with a completely different mortar. They don't do it in Great-Britain and my limited experience tells me you don't need it if you don't mess i up from the get-go...

[@clacicle]

Beautiful job.

[@JayKTS]

Thanks a lot mate ;) 🙏🏼

[@badgoy8439]

Why do you remove so much mortar? Wouldn't the wall be stronger if it was pointed almost to the outside edge of the brick?

[@JayKTS]

Hello mate .. in Belgium we like to joint or point the brickwork afterwards in the desired style and color .. that’s why we take the mortar out .. cheers

It goes to show how the hell did they build the railway tunnels under ground using millions and millions of bricks one continues arch it's mind blowing in Liverpool the train tunnel under the Mersey took 38 million bricks in it's construction when you think the tobbaco warehouse was 27 million bricks and that was the biggest brick building in the world brilliant work team

Beautiful job,can I ask why you didn’t build with the right colour mix from the start so as you wouldn’t have to go round and re point it.?seems like twice the work

[@JayKTS]

Hello Steve this is how we work here , bigger jobs het raked out and pointed up by professional pointers , people can still think about what color or style the want for the joints , smaller jobs we do the pointing at the same time . Thanks 🙏🏻

[@markdwyer100]

Them arches look great love your trick whit the fake joint cut out of the brick and is that a steel chop saw whit a concrete blade on it will it cut the full lent of a brick

[@JayKTS]

mark thanks ... that’s indeed a steel chop saw with a concrete blade , we use this a lot , cutting full length bricks are no problem I even cut blocks with it , I hardly use a cissle we almost cut our bricks always Thanks again 🙏🏻

[@markdwyer100]

@@JayKTS might have to invest in one thanks pal 👍👍

[@JimJimpmjj]

@@JayKTS is it just an average chop saw with a concrete blade? Or a chop saw specifically designed for cutting bricks? What model and make is it Jay? Nice tool it is 👍👍

[@JayKTS]

James there are models advertised as a bricksaw , but this one I have is just the average steel chop saw from de Dewalt nothing special not very expensive I guess around 300 euro or usd

They look really nice jay well done. What pattern Marshalltown trowel did you get. 19 is a Philadelphia trowel , 33 is a narrow London trowel and 34 is a wide London trowel. The number will be stamped into the blade .

hiya fellow maurer, reminds me of working in Germany back in early 1990'Ss ... we had Dutch pointing gangs come in afterward us to finish off. Full respect Jay for the work you do, keep the trade floushing, you're full of skill! p.s. what saw is that you're using?

[@JayKTS]

Hello thanks mate . Dutch pointers in germany , did you work close to the Dutch border ? I know some places there . The saw I used is a dewalt steel chop saw with a concrete blade on it , works perfect 👌🏻

[@786otto]

Bid your arch form collapse /band in the middle of the span , looks a bit flat at that point?

[@JayKTS]

Your right, an arch is the strongest thing but in the middle it’s not an arch , I told the owner about this but 🤷🏻‍♂️ , he’s confident about it

جيد جدا شكرا

[@Mattie_LIGHT]

How many hours did it take to lay one arch including cutting the brick and building the form?

[@JayKTS]

A day per arch , a day for cutting the bricks and running two or 3 courses over it I believe .. the owner of the house made the wooden form so I didn’t spend time on this 🙏🏼

[@JayKTS]

Maybe a little longer than a day for one arche.. think I did some first bricks the day before for both arches , it’s a long time ago lol

Try a bonnet arch with 3mm joints 😎

I hate cutting in over arches it takes forever, almost as painful as floor joist beam filling 😂

Damian for sure haha , if every brick is gonna need a cut I’m outta here lol 🙏🏼

@@JayKTS rewarding at the end but, man I feel your pain 🤣

[@davesmith2150]

Your fast and could do this in your sleep, many man hrs did this take? Shouldn't the arch be more round at the top it looks flat right in the middle.

[@JayKTS]

Yes the owner actually made the mold I told him it shoujd be rounded but he wanted it like that , this makes the arch weaker 😏 . This was around 24 manhrs I believe for the arches and a course on top ..🙏🏼

Very nice job but I think the timber could have been cut a bit better I'm no expert by any means and I noticed it but very nice job

[@JayKTS]

ray haha yeah that’s the owner of the house making it himself , it looks just with a chainsaw 🙈 , I guess if it’s good for him it’s all good 😀 , thanks 🙏🏻

[@dragonfitter]

What supports the weight when the former is taken out ? That will collapse as it’s not a proper supporting arch

[@JayKTS]

Yes that is what I told the owner , but he feels confident about it , although it’s not a complete arch in the middle , the form is long gone by now and the arch is still hanging in there though 😅
