Thanks for watching!

[@chaseybears]

What made that even more impressive, is the fact you did that working off the ground level. Very nice job young fella !

[@Ahmed-sy8lx]

I love watching what you do , it makes me more relax , its like watching a painting being drawn or sculpting , it gives the same sensation , it's art , we should all appreciate what we do to be better persons and live better lives .

[@mikewalko536]

I have never laid a brick in my life- i'm an engineer but i do other construction, yet i find this SO therapeutic and beautiful. Good work- you've got me wanting to try some beginner stuff on my own house.

[@daman4802]

As an Engineer I see exactly what you mean.

[@paddyk3079]

I want to see you move it...🤣 Great work!

[@thefelipehernandez_1]

Ditto 🤣

[@cerealkiller4248]

Nice to see a fellow tradesman who loves pushing the boundaries of their work. We’re a dying breed, most if our apprentices spend every second they can sitting in the van on their phones, which is why I refuse to have one. A real pity for them as I have a lot to teach ☹️

[@owenjohnson4233]

Wish I met you 2 years ago I love bricklaying , got laid off my college as the person giving me my apprenticeship couldn’t give me any work.

[@cerealkiller4248]

Owen Johnson If you show a willing to work, there’ll be someone willing to teach. When I did my apprenticeship many years ago, I was fortunate enough to have some really good teachers, guys approaching retirement who had all the patience in the world to help me. Offer to work for nothing for a month or two if you have to, just to show people you are keen to learn, and if they can’t offer you work they may know someone who can. Good luck.

[@malcolmevans4076]

Another great job from Stu. Stewart built our extension as a favour to us as our 1st builder had a accident and could not continue. His talent not only as a bricklayer but his artistic flare to picture something and then build it.A very talented guy. keep up the good work Stu

[@Stucrompton1]

Thanks Malc will do

[@globalance1948]

Excellent work Stu!! Thanks for sharing! So nice to see a truly skilled mason at work!!! D

[@Pitmirk_]

the cut middle brick actually works better. It makes the arch look like it's pushing upward through the brickwork, so gives the whole thing some lightness. Perfect

[@zacdavis2504]

Another masterclass stu. Look forward to the next one mate

[@伯SouthPaw87]

I'm really impressed tobseebtou showing errors made during the build. I subscribe to the notion that anyone attempting to get into the trade or just a weekend warrior needs to see a professional going through the normal motions. Very refreshing and great vid brother man. Mason from Alabama.

[@Stucrompton1]

Thanks very much brother

[@mattkunkel2823]

Been laying brick my whole life. Never seen anybody grape vine the joint with a point up trowel. Looks good.

[@dsm091]

How do they do this over wide rivers? Or in those mountains? I am sure they used wood or something.

[@mattkunkel2823]

@@dsm091 The wood is only temporary. Wood forms are built to support the brick, stone. Once the brick or stone are laid and hardened. The wood forms are cut out.

[@cjhification]

That's some dedication to the craft, rebuilding a demo bench, as it wasn't perfect. Nice.

[@am7442]

Those brick cuts and trowel work, beautiful to watch. True art.

[@petersmith6974]

I remember in my college class (as part of 4500hr apprenticeship) we had to build all the styles of arches as part of our training. We weren’t allowed to use any power tools. No saws or grinders with diamond blades. We had to cut all the Voussoirs with a bolster and hammer. That was tough to do. A few broke and had to redo them again. This was in 85 in Toronto Canada

[@JackSmith-kp2vs]

Did they make you eat gravel for your lunch as well?

[@burak710]

@@JackSmith-kp2vs ahahahahaahahahahaha

[@randomlyme9617]

👍 The simplicity of the final design... actually requires strenuous effort to even build one from scratch.

[@Stucrompton1]

Indeed love ❤️

[@billshedd55]

Amazing! Please show how you make the curved cuts.

[@LiamJeffrey]

Masterpiece! Again Incredible this stu! Love it! So skilled how you adapted during the build

[@Stucrompton1]

Cheers Liam matey, yeah was a tricky one 😃

[@martingreen1038]

arched in and arched over, another 10 mins video worth watching. Excellent work stu

[@paulyoung6459]

*Thanks for recommending this to me KZbin*

[@Stucrompton1]

Thank you for watching Paul

[@GodsVibes]

I Love it, i saw no problems at all and the music got me to watch it a 2nd time and still I think it perfect. Can you build a wishing well, would love to see that from start to finish.

[@alzathoth]

when i saw the arch, i first thought you were going to build the fireplace in Bilbo's home. :)

[@sickofliberals9403]

Great job, I was watching this video and my wife just caught me, now she's thinking of things for me to build after I been laying brick all day long, thanks lol

[@liamtwist6409]

1 year 1 month 9 days I’ve had my membership for now unbelievable channel love it!!!! Keep up the good work mate!

[@Stucrompton1]

Ah thanks for the support Liam I think I have 9 members out of 110k subscribes including kc so you’re all very special to support the channel 👍

[@paulniehaus3309]

Came tot he channel for beginner tutorials. Stayed for content like this!!

[@grapplersdencroydon2043]

I'm not a bricky, nor in the building trade, but I appreciate the skill on show here. Amazing stuff. Keep up the good work.

[@peterdawson5115]

Like that Stu, especially the pointing looks great.

[@Stucrompton1]

Beers Peter it turned out ok but lots of mistakes

[@buckgibbons6218]

Never saw it done better.

[@ProMachinist]

Oh wow! Beautifully done. Thank you for sharing this with all of us.

Fantastic job pal as always. Been following you for a while now. Never fail to impress.

Cheers Abbas

[@davidfoster1055]

Real tidy job if I had a go I would of maybe tied the header coarse together but maybe doesn't matter!

[@jjfletcher1366]

How do you feel about his design with S type and lime in the mix? Gives it some flexibility and strength.

[@neilwharton720]

Excellent work and attention to detail, great to see👍👍👍

[@robinhadley]

Just read through all the comments looking for Rob Songers reply of him shaking his head saying you didn't watch my video did you 🤣😂 Great job stu you really are an influencer. Wish I had more time to do wee projects and learn new stuff 👍🏻

[@Stucrompton1]

lol Robin i dont like to do things normal and as they should be, thanks mate doing all i can

[@alansmall9071]

Another top class video all these ideas for new projects in and around the garden and house 👍🏻 Stay safe and keep healthy buddy

Will do Adam pal

Alan! Apologies Pal 😂

[@thisisengland3503]

That’s absolutely gorgeous pal

[@garyjohnson1970]

My little brick retaining wall, flower trough crumbled when I tapped it with the mower.....I'll be following all your brick designs.....but I'm scared! Never worked with bricks! Thanks, ahead of my attempts!

[@leewood7017]

Its a work of art Stu, Brill job.

[@davidcornell9167]

Across the pond our buildings are built with 2x4 framing. And then we put the skin over it, whether its wood siding, stucco, brick or some other type of finish. So I am struck by how much everything is completely brick/masonry in the UK. Does it have some tie back to the long history of old world masonry, or is for building code strength purposes or what? I find it fascinating and enjoyable. Keep up the good work. Thanks

[@louai.hunedy]

You are an artist Stu !

[@ericmuncy7757]

Nice job, good luck when it's time to move it.

Well done, great work. lovely to watch.

[@pastorofmuppets22]

It's nice to see a DIY video where workmanship is done coherently.I see gooney goo goo videos with guys in their bare feet, hacking stuff and people telling them:"nice job" 😂

[@07BLUESTORM]

I really have enjoyed your videos and the tunes that go with 'em. Top bloke, Top skills Don't give too much away to those Cowboys out there who call themselves Brickies. Cheers Lad 👍

[@deejay4333]

Brilliant workmanship 👍 fantastic job.

So dope! Cheers from California ✌🏿🇺🇸🥇💕

[@alexszeliga9704]

Another great video. Really liked this as it was a lot different. Fantastic.👏👏👏

[@Mr_Cholmondley_Warner]

Best bricky pfft, best artisan bricklayer. 👍

[@jetnick3576]

Beautiful. But how would a homeowner move it to its final destination in the yard? Forklift?

[@sukhrabbabadjanov4750]

I want to be your disciple bro 👏👍😉 . Amazing 👍👏👍👏👏👍👏🇺🇿

[@doddsy65]

Excellent piece Stu , another one for your portfolio of masterpieces .

[@osobuco1522]

Hola como esta? Muy buen trabajo como siempre. Calidad y prolijidad lo distinguen. Es bueno contar con personas como usted que enseñan a otros y no ocultan los conocimientos. Compartir es bueno y a través de medios como este uno puede aprender cosas que no podría hacerlo por no poder llegar a lugares como el que usted vive. Un saludo a la distancia desde Uruguay y muchas gracias por dedicar su tiempo para que otros podamos aprender.

[@randytrader3026]

That looks awesome.. I might have to attempt that for my yard.. I would love to know how many bricks you used.. I guess I can count them.. but again, that is an incredible bench.. thanks for the video..

[@Stucrompton1]

cheers Randy, go for it

[@ghulam4024]

Another great vide, well done, can you please do a future video with St Anne bricks in place of the engineering brick portions, as I believe they look much better than the typical orange class A or B engineering brick albeit much more expensive and bigger.

[@daleval2182]

Nice light weight option, good job

[@egomaniac9147]

Amazing skill mate Bravo

[@felipesants8936]

Excellent work

[@benwilkinson5457]

Lovely Stuart! Nice vid mate

Cheers Ben mate

[@doonhilla]

Good stuff marra. I think you have this niche cornered for sure.

[@minnietoby]

Your the best briky maté absolutely

[@samiullahk7223]

bricks have to be wedge shaped, for the structure to hold for years, else when the cement bond loosens, the structure colapses, unlike ancient architecture

[@becton98]

Tell that to the Victorian factories, train stations and houses with arches.

[@robertdiehl1281]

A pleasure to watch.

[@Ticonderoga12]

Awsum job my man! Very relaxing and soothing to watch

[@jaykemyers1953]

cheers james all thew best

[@ROHITSINGH-qf4dg]

Hello great work! I want to ask how your mortar is so plastic? Are you using plasticizers?

[@PumpkinHead440]

That was amazingly mesmerizing to watch. 100%

[@ahilkhan9594]

Bhai doosra building structure banao. Finishing. Bahot acha hai aap ka

[@andrewcouto5620]

Question? Why do keystones stick out? Is it a structural thing or an esthetic thing? Both?

[@romanpechnik533]

Берёте твердый полистерол 100мм и вырезаете лекало 5 минут и готово И те кирпичи что на арке режем,, каблучком и верхний язычок закрывает этот полукруглый шов Не благодарите😁👍

[@seniorgolfprogress83]

Fantastic job Stu looks so neat and I know it is strong you can’t stand on it because you showed me keep safe👍❤️

[@Stucrompton1]

Thanks dad

[@robwebb3882]

Haha it’s genuinely your dad too, awesome 😂😂. Keep up the good work fellas. If you wanna do some 60 minute make over stuff in my garden feel free. Haha 😂

[@martinjames6798]

Super nice. So good to see the master craft skills being carried on. Good job!

[@alisonlouisejacques4634]

Hi stu, hope your staying safe , another great build 👍😊

[@Stucrompton1]

Indeed alison

[@TheSadButMadLad]

I think it works better that you miss-measured and didn't go to a very thin sliver of brick at the top of arch. It would've led to a very fragile brick which due to the slope would be pretty much the whole length of the brick.

[@fireblaster9961]

Wonder how strong that arch is, looks great.

[@lukedecol1505]

@Finders-Keepers not true. A car is heavier than either side to the arch would flatten out pushing each side out.

[@lukedecol1505]

@Finders-Keepers I just didn't want someone parking their car on it mate!! Hahaha

[@lukedecol1505]

@Finders-Keepers I'm a stone waller mate. I've built numerous arches. My favourite thing! I'm in the process of building one now..

[@markdove5906]

Mate forget a bench I need you to build me a fireplace!! That looks quality!!

[@Stucrompton1]

Hah cheers buddy thanks for watching

[@adamprice7150]

Absolutely awesome that mate. My front wall needs fixing ! 👍

[@Gasparin-ix6uv]

Great job looks fantastic

[@pussyclouts]

Its called a turning piece, its needs to set back about 10mm from the face of the line of the wall to ensure the spring and the piers can be constructed flush and in line. It should be checked with a line as constructing, otherwise it could be erected with a kick in the brickwork either side of the springing arch.

[@Endisupertramp]

Great work Stu!

[@firearsecurry7231]

It looks quite good, but how are you going to get it out in the garden ??????

[@LIFELOVER715]

Other than your great skills & artistic abilities, I really like the fact that you are generous with the mortar & never have have any voids or gaps. As opposed to many others I have observed.
