Thank you Mason for another fine video sincerely Matt at Pipe Dr Plumbing.... One of the best plumbers that ever plumbed a plum 😂 been watching you for a few years now

[@nateallen644]

Thank you I've been out of the trade for 20 plus years and I couldn't remember how to properly string up the line blocks. Seeing your block work you are a master mason. Thank you boss.

[@diybricklaying5568]

Nice to see youth in the trade. On those smaller foundations try building smaller, 2 or 3 course leads. Saves a lot of time.

[@priority19]

Thanks for the info,, ur a great instructor!

[@masonthemason6412]

I appreciate that!

[@jdsguam]

Your demonstration of the releasable knot tie, around 2:00 would make a great short.

[@Joe-jv5mm]

Top tips 👍

[@papublack755]

Watching all the way from Papua New Guinea,man you're too good..can do a video on how to plaster a brick?

[@donnguyen6387]

Great video. I am building 2 columns that's going to be 9ft tall and then put stones on them. I know I will need rebar so my question is once the footing and rebar are set. Do I have to get on a tall ladder go up and down in order to lay the blocks over the rebar? Is there an easier way?

[@arthurmiller8336]

Where can I get those tools at

[@MrRoberoni117]

Mason … I ordered a pallet of CMU block, and the pallet was only one type or “pillar” blocks? No double web centers, or blocks with the H profile. Was thinking the pallet would’ve been mixed?

[@nikond90]

thanks!

[@masonthemason6412]

You’re welcome!

[@tulz43]

Thank you for this! You’ve answered a ton of questions I didn’t even know I had. Do you have anything on setting the first blocks? How to make sure they are level over the run of say 20 feet?

[@nizamismail9554]

yes place cement square on ground place 1st block tap light to seat into cement use level to even straight then line pull across do same across

[@JB-OH]

Mate, your videos have been invaluable to me thank you so much. Question, can you build straight up from the edge of a footer or concrete slab?

[@peterbuilt2232]

If filling the block with concrete do you need weeping holes

[@masonthemason6412]

No

[@masonthemason6412]

But it depends on the job when you have to use weeps

[@ivanrizo-ui3my]

God blest you

[@luisruiz2728]

Thank yoy

[@rm-hb6ul]

Entertaining. Come build one for me

[@maxg9999]

What’s up bro you working solo now?

[@masonthemason6412]

Yeah for about 2 months now

[@dtm6215]

@@masonthemason6412 wow your making the mud and laying all by yourself ? No help ?

[@maxg9999]

That’s what’s up bro I work with my pops and solo nothing like working for yourself! Wish I was a lil closer I’d love to come up there and help you lay some block. I respect your hustle your gonna go far or destroy yourself in the process lol. Jus kidding but us masons are definitely a different breed. You the man!

[@masonthemason6412]

I love the freedom have being solo. Wish we could collaborate. I’m sure we could honestly. We’re built different

[@masonthemason6412]

All me. I am doing just fine

[@arthurmiller8336]

Talk about what size the footing needs to be???????

[@ConorKenneally]

Is there a reason why the block is not centred on foundation

[@czanel4899]

WOW!. Nice to see one exception from your generation NOT SITTING in Mom's moldy basement in front of the computer.

[@passageiro4791]

Aqui no Brasil usamos madeira de sarrafo pra segurar a linha com 2 pregos e si ponha 2 linhas fica melhor ainda uma em cima e uma em baixo

[@BCreative12]

Hello. Most important part and no one mentions it. 😂👍🏼🍕

[@masonthemason6412]

?

[@BCreative12]

I never see how to do this. The lines always already up. 🦸

[@masonthemason6412]

Oh I got you hahaha. I thought the same thing. I never showed how to do this before. Hope I helped

That Is Very Easy, People Wanna Know How Do You Know If The String Line Is In Level From One Side To The Other. Amén.

[@patrickchapman9446]

Line block as well but never seen the clamps

[@raviluga]

Первый ряд без гидроизоляции делают 😮?

[@hv3926]

Clamp seems the easiest. Those 1st two seemed like a total pain in the butt, especially for me being disabled. I do not have use of my right hand except to hold things down. But even if I was fully able, those first ones still seem like a bunch of extra, tiring moves. And the one requiring you to hammer into finished blocks and mud is just plain dumb.😮

[@davidandchelehipple8232]

How about if someone doesn't have all the professional tools? Smthg helpful, since a pro knows how to already.

[@ricksartori2327]

One word line block. Much easier.

[@masonthemason6412]

Can’t always do that

[@jamesa6272]

I’ll be using gorilla tape for my string line 😂

[@patrickchapman9446]

We call them line dogs lol

[@orchidoclaste7298]

You dont even need this device, you can do it yourself with a piece of wood and two nails

[@TacticalGhost007]

Are you referring to Dog Bones / Line Bones / Line Dogs? Yes, you can make your own.

[@JeffWray-t4z]

It's not a string. It's a mason's line!! Strings are for flying kites!!!
