HOW TO LAY BRICKS - HERRINGBONE PATTERN

[@LarJgrip]

Sorry to be the ‘fly in the ointment’ but a correctly laid out (centered) herringbone panel has identical cuts on the sides. However we’re always learning aren’t we? As a career, retired mason/instructor I’ve always had a passion for the trade and am encouraged to see that you do as well. Keep up the good work keeping the craft alive. 👍

so fucking pretentious

[@benwilliams1172]

@@andrewburnett8743 have you ever subbed, and if you did, did you ever make enough to live on

[@qualcommchalloner9551]

little tip, I know you like you wood jointer so with your small plane , take down end so flat again for a true flush joint, all your joints not just on this small project... your digging and arises are being shown which run-ins all the lovely work your putting over Malcs in Perth WA ♥ 😎

Your the best I have seen bro and i have been doing masonry for 25 years. It's nice u get to build with masonry so much here in the states they build with wood and it garbage.

[@benwilliams1172]

hi i just watched your take on herring bone , not bad. try nailing 2 pieces of wood at a 90 degree angle on a board , and put 3 bricks together inside the wood. next cut from top right corner to bottom left corner of 3 bricks. repeat 3 bricks cut from top left corner to bottom right corner. combine cuts to make 2 triangles herring bone. on opening find centre and lay the two triangles of herring bone 5mm each side. use line and quoin blocks for straightness of work set at every 2 courses. repeat and fill in opening. subbed for years , makes a decent job and you will make more money. hope this helps.

Your very good at explaining. Such vital information you don’t miss. Thanks for the content

[@johntenhave1]

That was a great video, with just the right amount of fast forward. I suggest that the most valuable tools you possess and demonstrate are knowledge, accuracy and patience. you do this very well.

[@SpaceCowby]

Awesome build again. We always use 10mm ply slips for the joint spaces when setting out.

[@bonanzatime]

Great idea using the speed square with a torpedo level👍👍

[@bartosullivan8050]

Thank You for sharing. Great detail and explanation. Giving it a try here in NC, USA

Love this videos. Very detailed explanations. Good stuff mate 👌

[@jacoblavoie8326]

Great videos!

[@mikedyke9826]

Rodian, Love your videos - learning a load from you. I'm no brickie, just an overly ambitious DIYer... currently working on a rendered blockwork extension at home. My architect has drawn up the window and door reveals as internal leaf of blocks turned in. Do you think you could do a short vid explaining how to do this without creating a cold bridge and perhaps some thoughts on other options for closing the cavity at openings? Proprietary cavity closers instead? Cheers Rodian, look forward to your response.

[@markhep]

Looks sweet definitely a day rate job i really like it well explained 👍👍👍

[@jamesbyronbragg]

great work

[@markdwyer100]

Spot on mate 👍👍👍

[@adrianpeel5812]

Very very good. No better way to do it

[@SolidworksUnlimited]

Looks nice Rodian, excellent workmanship!! 👍👍👍

[@anthonyworthington6495]

Good vlog nice choice of bricks 🍺👍

[@michaelhammond9996]

Another great video mate just a quick question instead of marking all that on ply why dont you lay three bricks on the floor in a stack bond fashion the draw a line from corner to corner the that gives you your starting cuts ?

[@patrickobrien5367]

😊❤

[@ste2201]

nice job,mate.

[@jasn5754]

When you're doing these example projects, what is your mortar mix?

[@robertpratt6792]

1 to 3

[@pb9243]

Nice mate🤟🏼

[@garyhockaday8022]

Great video

[@davidbarnett8002]

Good job but you should have centred it properly to get your cuts equal

[@irishlad8163]

Cracking video👍

[@TheCiaran1000]

Brilliant videos, could you do a video on pricing jobs and how that works? I've never seen how that's done and what way it works thanks

[@anthonychase-weekes3743]

Same here

[@johnbower]

Hi Rodian, If you drew lines around all the bricks on your plywood panel, you could then have fixed the plywood panel behind the opening, you wood then have all lines in place to line your bricks in place, no spirit level or set square needed.

[@JimJimpmjj]

Your a genius sir. Great video thanks 👍 Appreciate all your hard work in bringing us quality content 👍👍👍👍🍺

[@Saiiiiiiiii651]

Nice

[@carrot3945]

Good stuff mate. How about a review of that cork handle Marshalltown?

[@johncunningham5799]

good video

[@AndreyShugaev1989]

pls make a video with a horizontal variant

[@buddysinsight9834]

Brilliant mate. I did a making video to show what I do. Sadly my algorithms are down through lacking in videos :(

[@bigrcfc4331]

Fantastic again dude best bricklayer on u tube the time u put into this video was fantastic 🧱🧱🧱🧱

[@lorenzorojas7498]

Does that work with queen size brick as well

[@zackzander425]

Nice work. Easier to read the vial the way you're doing it with the speed square actually.

[@macca365]

good job, but you didn't have to have them diddy bits at the bottom, just adjust your line when marking out up or down, great to see a neat brickie regards

[@MrJFoster1984]

Just thinking out loud mate. It would be easier if you had another board the same dimensions as the one below and you lay it ontop of your bricks and mark around it?

[@wheres_bears1378]

What if you have to do a long wall?

[@stevens5541]

Personally I wouldn't do it like that....the first part in getting a big wooden board to set it out on is correct and the way you do all the 45 degree lines on is correct but were I would do things differently is I would either fill in between the lines with all the bricks I could before needing to start doing my cuts and then with the cuts jus do the cuts 1 by 1 so you can still see the lines....but the best method is to put some long thin nails at each corner of the the board with chalk line on it and once all your bricks are set you can lower the chalk lines down to the bricks and flick it and its all marked and if you don't like that method you can simply put your level from nail to nail and draw a line.....your method at the end is just guesswork and almost defeats the purpose of all the effort you did in setting all your marks up at the beginning. Also at the end you should number all your bricks and if you have a phone you should always take a photo to refer back to.

[@terryjones6026]

Everyone calls this herringbone bond in my old Caxton building book it’s called zig zand bond built loads of these panels in my time

[@alf3071]

Is this stronger?

[@RobBoFr]

Work that thumb Rodian!! You did that for me, right?! .... Edit! Upon closer inspection, you held the level with one hand and deployed the thumb from your right hand.... filth!
