Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I'm feeling a little more confident at giving it a go myself. Cheers!

[@resourcefulgirl]

I have a rental property with disintegrating mortar between the 4 large stone walls. I was dreading taking a week of vacation to repair the wall but it was too expensive to hire it out. I found it to be surprisingly cathartic. Now I'm going to tuck point bricks on my mom's house and I can't wait!! Thanks so much for the tips!!

[@Jim_Newlands]

Really good series of vids, Rodian. Your presenting style is excellent for novices to the trade to follow, easy to understand and explaining WHY things are done, not just a case of "do it like this and don't ask questions"!

[@isyt1]

Love these videos. You explain everything and don’t make any assumptions of people’s knowledge. Good job!

[@MarcusT86]

It's like an online apprenticeship, they're that good. If there were channels like this for all the trades out there, I would spend 10 hours a day on KZbin.

[@poojavijayvargiya5173]

rerr ererrr rrrrrrrrerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrerrrrrrrŕŕrrr isrr rr

[@chinaemere65307]

Thank you for making this video

[@-o-The-Duke-o-]

I am really enjoying all of your videos. Thank you for sharing your expertise. I had no idea the mortar took so long to cure. That it is still workable days later blew me away. How long does it take until it gathers it's full strength on average?

[@chris45rpm]

Fantastic videos. I only wished I'd discovered them before repointing half of my g2 listed garden wall with hydraulic lime.

[@Heatherreseller]

Thanks for sharing. Have a huge project to start 🤯

[@brityn6514]

Very informative Rhodian cheers

[@kirkglundal4289]

Looks great!

[@eriq54321]

In the beginning of the video I had thought that arrow on the wall was the play button on my phone

[@Heatherreseller]

Top & Tail! Love it! Lol

[@amarjitsinghuk6898]

Very nice work 👍good job Thx

[@cirogaldi3942]

Good video thank you👍What’s the mix ratio you are using please?

[@Whilsen]

No idea why I was recommended this but I stayed for the whole video. Great vid, and if I ever need to build a wall then I know where to come 😂

[@jamesrussell7110]

Very enjoyable. Thank you again

[@KeithWhittingham]

With a lime mortar, how many courses can you lay before it starts pressing the muck out of the first course?

[@Mr_PIL0T-k8m]

Great video, nice clear demonstration and very well explained. Thank you.

[@scoyle1750]

Very good Rodian you could also do a flush joint as it is quite a common joint as well 👍

[@JimJimpmjj]

Great video mate 👍 thanks 👍👌🍺

[@jarsofjames1218]

Your videos are bang on, learning my trade in roofing but love watching your vids too, teaches me a lot & this came in handy for pointing a stack nice & neat

[@belleray2]

Good Job!

[@farazkan2652]

What tool is used for finishing a wall after cement dried

[@barrydoherty636]

How long would you leave it when your using normal cement?

[@eggycat]

So helpful pal.

[@KB-vj1mb]

Top class

[@coffeepot3123]

13:47 That's beautiful!.

[@FrustratedBaboon]

I have a wall that is 36' tall and 50' wide. I don't know how I will manage it.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Nice one Rodian. I was shown the opposite way round when I was a lad 🙄😆. Beds - perps - beds - brush , shouldn’t need to top n tail after that.👌🏼 Each to their own as the saying goes . 🧱🧱🧱🧱👈🏻👍🏽

[@Jim_Newlands]

That's interesting, Steve. I'm the same as Rodian, I was always taught to do perps 1st then beds. I've never even thought of trying it the other way round since! I will give if a go though, to see if it ends up being a better way! 👍

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Jim Newlands 👌🏼🧱👍🏽

[@dragginmedown]

Im gonna try that

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Shinobi . Good point there pal ( no pun untended ) . When I started back in 1987 we “ stick jointed “ We used a 12mm thick piece of hardwood with the edge rounded off . It was abound 1 foot long and about 4”” deep cut in the shape of a parallelogram. Top and bottom for beds . Ends for perps . They didn’t last long but put a lovely finish on the brickwork 👈🏻🧱👍🏽

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Shinobi . Cheers pal , it’s like riding a bike , you’ll never forget it and it’s always there when you need it 👌🏼👍🏼🧱

[@nari10a1]

This is great

[@ivylindsay4604]

Thanks for sbowing

[@bigoldgrizzly]

start of vid, looks like you are building an outside 4 poster bed ;

[@user-lc7xb5ch5t]

Use toe or heel . Good content keep it up

[@ВиталийПлотников-н9з]

Сильный человек!

[@vovkdavies]

Как думаешь, сколько он жмет жим лёжа?

[@jimgearedup4gym701]

👍🏻

[@jamesbarry9147]

what lime are you using ? if its hydrated it'll never set. try using NHL2 or NHL3.5 . 👍

[@Dirt.carver]

I really tried to tap the damn play button 🤦‍♂️ ... I won't say how many times before I realised 😅

[@1BadSavage]

Fyi,This is lime mortar. Portland cement this would not work waiting this long to finish the pointing

[@dennisclancy6729]

Dirty water makes your mortar take up quicker also with plaster.. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥃

[@dragginmedown]

Haha bloody hell, ive had bricks in australia that suck the water out of mortar that bad you have to join after every course. I Summer it’s a fucking nightmare with those bricks

[@chrishamill9272]

Pick your panel up fella.. why you at ankle height? Giving me a nosebleed watching this

[@dieteticaura7343]

So why are you on trending?

[@silow1474]

Cos your a cock and hes teaching people

[@sjinnie_boy4988]

I don’t why KZbin recommended this but here I am

[@Falco45able]

It’s gobbo or mortar, muck is what a farmer spreads on his field, you been watching to much American telly Fella!

[@aaronf4201]

I’m from the south east of England and I’ve only ever heard brickies say ‘muck’.

[@timcope8445]

Me too It's always muck

[@michaelamos4651]

Been laying bricks for 40years from London. Always muck

[@sszogg]

In U.S. we call mortar "mud".

[@barkershill]

Never heard mortar referred to as muck? I can remember it being called that fifty years ago .

[@brinkman4925]

What is that high pitched sound in the background? I'm watching on headphones and it's pretty irritating.

[@stevens5541]

Your brain is all over the place.......ant watch any more

[@barnylee8691]

Perps shouldn’t run into the bed tho 🙈

[@Jonathan-mk1ju]

How long do you have to leave your mortar to go off before you point up ?
