Love your vids to

[@sinemetu9037]

How anyone could give this guy a thumbs down I don’t know. Cretinous minds. Top tradesman and great helpful videos. Thanks for your hard work.

[@Stucrompton1]

Appreciate you watching buddy, envious people mate, people that find faults in everyone else but never look inside themselves 👍👍

[@sinemetu9037]

You are so right. You find this in all walks of life sadly. You just keep doing what your doing mate...I am a Brit down here in SW France and your tips have really helped me to work stuff out. I am handy but videos like this just give you the right way of looking at a job. I for one and I am sure many others are very appreciative of your quality work and quality videos. All the best to you, you deserve to be a total success.

[@philipallmond2157]

I always fill the toothed bed joint as I go as it provides good access to get it full. Great job.

[@RajSinghKhalsa]

Agreed that toothed joint is easier done as you go along, filling the joint when pointing up at the end is time consuming and never the same as mortar in the main work is going off while a fresh load is being pressed in

[@damiencutrupi7949]

Thanks for the help

[@JD-uh9od]

Im now in my 31st yr of bricklaying/building. I’m wondering why I enjoy your videos😁😁😁 keep up the good work.

[@Stucrompton1]

will do buddy

[@MK-vq6uy]

The brick at 4 min 29 is doing a wheelie 💨

[@apexpredyt7143]

I am 15 years old and I am in year 11 and I love bricklaying can you give me some tips and tricks about how to start bricklaying I have done bricklaying before and I was pretty good at it and I love your vids

[@stezaffa7257]

it's nice to see your style of work, in Italy it's a little different, the Italian trowel is different from yours, good work man ;)

[@leefurness5623]

Thanks for the video it is a great help and well put together, Im bricking up a doorway now

[@wojamacolit]

Bed joints on the right hand side look empty. Are you filling these up?

[@mdazmolhussainshahinmdazmo5536]

You are very good job

[@cr250mad]

Nice to see someone taking pride in brickwork especially top and tailing the pointing not something these side lads would know how to do nowadays 😂 tidy job 👍

[@Athena_Daley]

You made that look so easy...😯😯😯 Great job!!!

[@dhb572]

Clean and tidy as all ways . Thanks for a good video '

[@jamesthornber6991]

Fantastic video stu.doesnt matter about the soldiers.still looks a great brick work job 😁👍🏻

[@zedman442]

Nice and tidy mate. That brick sure did look out of place!

[@lazylad9064]

Good weather (but it's not quite dubai) good bricky and good music. Quality

[@Stucrompton1]

yeah pal back to reality lol

[@Lossyz]

really nice job, useful video!

[@mrmel3485]

Stu how do you never apply mortar to the top of yer bricks when laying in the toothed out section , an just apply later 🤔 cheers

[@eddjordan2399]

how do you get mortar into the top of the stitched joint, so its filled completely up ?

[@katieiron2606]

Great work stu

[@Stucrompton1]

thanks :)

[@brianb6739]

Great work! how long would estimate it took from start to finish?

[@TheAudiostud]

As always Stu, Great Work, Well Done!

[@Stucrompton1]

Thanks mate have a great weekend 😁

[@TheAudiostud]

Got a few chores to do then sit back to Watch the Rugby 6 nations 🏉

[@jeffreysmid8003]

Hello i come from the dutch netherlands i'm 15 years old i have a question for you at what age did you start bulding bridge? I found your videos verry intrasting😄

[@AndyGT1907]

Who sings the song at the start Stu?

[@danielandrews3690]

Just what i need doing. I no this was a few years ago but what roughly would this cost ?

[@EM-vc6qr]

More good brickwork more good tunes 🙌

[@Stucrompton1]

Loving the tunes myself Eric 😁😁

[@wesleymce]

How do yo uphold the string to the wall?

[@martinpalmer3575]

Stupid question coming - is it possible to make this bed in a little better once complete? as if it was "always" a brick wall?

[@callum9572]

4:28 "Diver" 😂

[@JimJimpmjj]

Why did you warm the bricks up? Cheers enjoy your videos.

[@01ozey01]

Great vid as always just shame they ain't longer lol

[@jamietalbot7254]

That brick that was dipping was taking off lol. In Brum we call them chicken dippers

[@Stucrompton1]

Lol Jamie chicken dippers

[@gheester]

How did you cut out every second brick so neatly? I know to use a large diamond blade grinder or demo saw on the horizontal mortar but how did you cut the vertical mortar so the half brick just pops out? Drill? My experience using a drill just damages the one above and then it cracks.. Your vid just shows the end result. Thanks

[@jasonrowlands7759]

Anthony K if you cut the bed joint vertically to the joint you tap it with the hammer it will pop out and you just clean up the joint with a plugging chisel

[@Wickedwhitewabbit]

Nice job stu but those soldiers need to come out. You should make a video on how to lay a brick flat as this is very important when building plum as you no. All the best 👍

[@samanthap3422]

Hi lovely job how. Much would you charge for this job including materials?

[@markspencerfpv]

Nice work Stu! just wondered if that's a tendon operation scar on your elbow?

[@Stucrompton1]

No scar on my elbow mark 👍

[@leewood3031]

Don't they make those bricks anymore Stu, just wondered because they don't really match.

[@stevo18555]

Stu how come you didn't take out the vertical bricks out aswell?

[@Stucrompton1]

i explain in the comment pal

[@stevo18555]

And I had no idea you had to dry bricks first 👍thanks Stu I'm going to building my extension just by watching your vids thanks for sharing your skills

[@MMG_MoonManGuitar]

I see KC's hair dryer came in handy... 😂😂😂

[@Stucrompton1]

Hahaha yeah mate 😁

[@premfence]

😂

[@dzhafdetmahor5335]

why extreme seams in a row are not filled with a solution at once?

[@Stucrompton1]

customer did not want

[@daikiryoku]

How did you fix the string line to the bricks?

[@01ozey01]

Tap them into the wall by your pins

[@rixlee4776]

I defiantly would of changed the cream soilders to red brick as well looks well out of place nice job tho stu

[@zakirhayatzaki]

Excellent job like always

[@keithdixon7246]

Hello Stu how much would you charge to do a job like this.And board up in side afterwards As I could have a job doing the same thing myself for an old family friend thanks in advance Keith

[@kevangogh]

Nice job. Not sure why you had to dry the bricks though, it seems like would lay easier and dry on their own.

[@mozer30]

Kevin Moore he’d have to wait until the following day to point up. Wet bricks turn the mortar bed to slop.

[@zakirhayatzaki]

I'm in my 30 nearly 6month I start bricklaying need advice stu is that age ok for learning bricklaying plz reply back

[@Stucrompton1]

start at any age pal

[@1sttigertiger426]

When KC is not available, you need another bloke to do all of the work, while you're talking to us. Cheers. 😁

[@0791name]

@@Stucrompton1 what about blocks on inside ? Thanks

[@SCRAPWOODTOCRAFTWOOD]

How many bricks too brick up a standard size doorway pal

[@Stucrompton1]

120 and 20 blocks 👍

[@SCRAPWOODTOCRAFTWOOD]

stu crompton cheers buddy just need try get me some bricks now

[@Aerialit]

How many courses high can you do in a day on a doorway

[@Stucrompton1]

Depends on material density and type, mortar mix and weather

[@Aerialit]

@@Stucrompton1 4.1 mix 220/ 73mm bricks.weather not that good.bit like in your video

[@simonpidgeon949]

💯👍👍

[@gibletsmasher1228]

Love you videos mate, always find you joint your work quite early though. Iv always left mine till last thing. Do you you think it makes a difference to the end finish ? That’s not a dig btw your a great trowel and I love the vids

[@Stucrompton1]

everyone has their own way pal, no two brickys or tradesman the same.

[@evnmnyevnmny1139]

Dont forget your line pin holes mate

[@whitevoodooman7276]

Some Yorkshire grout on that baby

[@rome9112]

Should have slicked in the toothed corners to make it stronger! Pack that muck in the toothed spot those corner joints are going to wash out! Otherwise decent vids mate

[@leeetchells6372]

REMPIRE Construction yea he should use slim finger trowel to get that toothing solid. I fill the holes in the brick before I lay it . Makes it easier 😀

[@justycrusty]

Ace finish as per usual!! Purists would say you should have whipped those soldiers out though?? Lol

[@Stucrompton1]

customer didnt ask me too, also i was over on my time estimation :)
