Spread mortar - Tutorial 1

Here we are going to go over and learn how to string, furrow, cradle and bevel mortar. This is the process to follow for laying bricks onto the mortar. Of course, I made this look easy but you'll have to practice this for about 2-3 hours to get the hang of it. Patience is the key here, so take your time!!! Thanks for watching, give this video a like if you want to see more tutorials.

layed for 25 years never busted the mud in the middle. liked my mud just a bit wetter so i could spread 2.5 to three bricks at a time. if i layed like he said would take all day to lay small section of wall. the trick to quick laying is spreading as much mud as possible. but hey i always had a full heaping trowel full of mud....

It's called a tutorial for a reason... for beginners right??

[@fjbmasonry]

@@jontullett9068 Yes there is... trowel has to be balanced during the furrow and that takes time... you don't slap mortar on and go unless you've got some good years of work experience. These are kids we're teaching, so trust me :)

@@fjbmasonry well if people want to earn more money then teaching them a faster way is better rather than letting them do it a fancy way and earn barely anything

dont furrow your mud down so far that the point of your trowel touches the brick below the whole point is to let motar come up in the holes in the brick to make a strong wall. too deep and the motar wont tie the wall together

There is no holes in the brick he’s using dumb arse
