I removed an old chimney and needed to fill up the gap. Decided to use bricks instead of plywood/ plasterboard. I wasn't really sure how to start, but after seeing your video's, I felt confident I could do it too. It was a rocky start, but I kept your video playing together. I found out you can only mount 1 meter a day to give the mortar the time to dry. I also integrated some anchors to the cavity wall behind. I can say I am proud on the result. Thanks for the great videos! I hope your students can appreciate how great a teacher you are.

Thanks Mr Crompton for yet another wonderful lesson on how to make something I know is very difficult, appear so easy. You've just shown exactly how to talk to people as opposed to how to talk down to them and thus help them ( and me) to learn things just a little quicker. I'm sure your patience and good manners wil be rewarded one day!

I learned drywall by watching videos from pros like you and became very good at it and I think I can learn brick work by watching your videos and practicing. I plan to purchase the tools today and some bricks to start practicing your technique today. Thank you again and look forward to watching your other videos AJ

60 years ago, at an otherwise crap secondary school in south London, we were taught bricklaying Mr Strutton, the best teacher at the school. Many decades later I laid a thousand or so bricks for the patio/terrace at the back of my house, never forgetting his teaching. His favourite saying was 'keep the face of your work clean'.
