Bricklaying - Herringbone Brick Panel Freehand

[@Deliquescentinsight]

This reminds me of my old man, he was a Bricky of the old school, did his apprenticeship in the late 1930's, he loved all this fancy stuff!

[@hood_killer6978]

I want to be a bricklayer so much I love it. I’m doing N5 construction course at College and I’ve done joinery, slating,plastering, brickie and scaffolding but I like the bricklaying the best so I hope I get into it in 2019

[@wilkinsoncarpentry6278]

One reason I love this channel is .... You ALWAYS show mistakes or talk about things that are difficult to do.... that makes you “normal” like everyone else in the building industry.... you don’t hide errors and make out you’re always right👍

[@Stucrompton1]

Just doing my best bud

[@ctmasonry4222]

I've never built a Herringbone panel using lines, always free hand by eye. That's the way I was taught, saves time. Your wall looks real nice. Great job. USA here.

[@danbackhouse6975]

Brilliant job stu 👌 glad you didn’t edit out the blue on blue mistake because things happen and you corrected it , brilliant 👍

[@lalchandchandel8190]

Brilliant man. Youa are outstanding. I liked all your work. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@chrispotts7655]

after being let down by local tradesman decided that this year Im going to build an extension , brilliant videos and going to give it a go !

[@01ozey01]

Stu. You're a legend mate. Hopefully I'll get to your level one day with my determantion I will get there

[@richardmennell5745]

Great brick work Stu,it looked shocking before you cleaned it up,then boom looked great at the end,love the video’s,great to see some different brick work!🤘

[@razoredge4485]

[@sweetcandyterror5444]

Im about to try my second attempt too, since apprenticing about 8 years ago lol. Its on my house inbetween two panels of basket weave i finally got around to doing today. Love your vids bud. Theres still passion in the trade

[@tomvincent5596]

Been following you for a while. Your work is top class mate!

[@craighunter7379]

great work mate , all the bricklayers i have ever met have been alcoholics & cant use a spirit level !! keep up the good work

[@iamtheoneandonly9361]

You're one hell of a bricky pal. I've been a fan of your videos for a while now, keep at it please it's nice to see a skill such as yours in action.

[@Stucrompton1]

cheers mate, hope youre well

[@bugbomb8048]

Nice .....buy how do you get the mortar to come out of the grout bag.....I just want the mortar to flow out of the bag like it does on KZbin!

[@MRsluggie123]

Looks good mate I’m going to be doing my first herringbone brickwork this weekend on my bbq hopefully will look good!

[@leafy1262]

I'm doing this project in school tomorrow! I am feeling confident about it

[@theobright9817]

Great job ,I love your teaching skills and your honesty when you show these videos ...

[@glbf76]

Looks great. Very talented chap.

[@_tmmy_]

Wish my brickwork was as good as yours - you never fail to make me like your bricklaying videos!

[@chrisstratton6293]

I love the blue/black brick against the red. I'm planning on making my own version of this soon, thanks so much for the inspiration. The only thing that I would change is making the herringbone section 1 course more, 9 in total. This way you would break the bond of the top herringbone section against the stretcher courses (the bottom part of the herringbone is done this way). I'm really just being nit picky, but in a positive way :) I think you do amazing work and its inspiring

[@pauledwards9493]

Blues and Royals looking spot on!

[@wilkinsoncarpentry6278]

That’s incredible work , for some reason I’m sitting here trying to work out if I could survive on a mature age apprenticeship and start bricklaying haha so much more than just “laying bricks” ..... I’d try more decorative style if I ever learned the trade

[@johnbarker3399]

That’s a work of art stu well done

[@turnpikebear]

Stunning work and love all your videos. Wish I had you here in the states in Pennsylvania. Sure could use your expertise. Thank you for all your videos. Great work.

[@LockedInTheZoo]

That's an amazing piece of creative work, and not a bit of arrogance about you! Top guy!

[@kylerowe5912]

Great job stew it looks so much better with the raked out joints

[@andywoods6990]

[@Stucrompton1]

[@mloaiza770]

Professional and Beautiful Job. I belong to Bricklayers Local 4 out of Southern California and you do really nice work mate.

[@leonblittle226]

[@kingcarter9975]

Great work mate! Appreciation all the way from Sydney Australia!

[@adamray955]

Another top notch job stu. Got to be chuffed with that. Keep it up mate! 👍🏻

[@jayofman]

Very nice and yes I have learnt something, stick to what I'm good at and pay someone like Stu to do my brickwork.

[@Doncorleone44]

Bang on that stu! I wonder why 6 people disliked it? I suppose some people will never be happy keep it up m8

[@erickmontejanoofficial2459]

The jointing you did looks real good

[@martindennis6168]

Excellent craftsmanship 👍

[@raydebbiemcdonald3208]

Great work as always. Can you show the cleaning up and what is the acid you refer to for cleaning. I think I’m gonna need to do that on my garden walls

[@murtazabasharat7086]

Great work as always, Iv just got my start as a Bricklayer and it's on internal Brickwork in a old pub. Can u give advice on how to lay bricks on an uneven ground or when the bricks itself are uneven with lumps. Thankd

[@beutilisious]

Brilliant job Stu , well done well proud job, i have watched your tutorial and attempting three front steps not has easy as it looks third attempt may improve lol all the best.

[@loplap6516]

If I am wondering if you can help me with a DIY question, we have had our walls skimmed. However, we have decided to get the ceiling done now, how will we match the ceiling and the wall edging?

[@mohammedawais8699]

Woooow amazing job stu lovey panel. 💯❤️

[@trevorharsh56]

Fantastic job!, what an amazing piece of art stuff.

[@ianthomas739]

gonna do this at the back of my inglenook - yours is a piece of art mate. Cut and lay out first then do it

[@whitefields5595]

Did you wait for it all to dry out before you used the brick acid for cleaning... or did you carefully sponge down when wet?

[@alexmcdermott637]

Fantastic work stu

[@TheTerminator423]

Thats outstanding stu! 👏🏻top bit of work

[@jimmylegendre2261]

Looks nice good job. is there a reason why the pattern is not centered so cuts would be same size on both sides?

[@SooMuchWc]

Would you normally acid it that soon after finishing or could you use diesel when it’s not as green?

[@jamesthornber6991]

Fantastic bricklaying skills stu.well done and keep up the good work mate 😁👍🏻

[@moulmour]

Way to go! from now I'm one of your subsciber.

[@princeharris2660]

Does anyone know the name of the song he used at the 0:56 mark?

[@abscomm]

Nice one Stu. I'll never get enough practice to be as good as you but you inspire me to try!

[@cammiethebricklayerruncorn5701]

Looks good Stu specially free had Soz for getting Hangs name wrong yesterday happy Bricking m8

[@LarJgrip]

Nice looking panel Stu 👍. I’m retired now and finished my career as an instructor. We all know layout is critical and centering a herringbone panel is even more critical. And the way you know you are properly centered is the cuts on either side are the same size. Your panel appears to be centered properly in the video. And I’m curious why you and others don’t describe the methodology of centering the panel during the layout. In other words, if you start by setting the first small cut dead center your side cuts will differ. What method did you use for layout? Or are your side cuts different?

[@1889michaelcraig]

It happens buddy. The best of us make mistakes once in a while. But not that often. Looks good with that rake joint. I like it.

[@melotone3305]

Really enjoyed this demonstration of technique and willingness to show the mistake and correction. What is the base or platform you use to make the mockups on? Thx

[@georgedunkley6561]

Cracking effort stu proper craftsman

[@Stucrompton1]

Lots of mistakes I can do better next time

[@93eze2]

Nice job stu x

[@Stucrompton1]

Cheers mate

[@anthonyhoran2543]

Looks great mate, can you do a vid on sorting out that wall in your garden!

[@richarddrake5596]

Do you clean the engineering bricks up with loft insulation? Was a trick I got shown by an old bricklayer in my apprenticeship, cleans them up just like the look of your work at the end so was wondering if you did the same?

[@richarddrake5596]

Oh and great work 👍

[@robertbalic5194]

Beautiful as usual great detailing.👍👍

[@LunchBoxArcades]

Can you quickly explain the acid wash process. Is it done the day after? Great vid Stu thanks

[@saltys5528]

Look back a few vids he has done

[@leeetchells6372]

Looks good stu. I think if you were doing a big panel you really would need the lines but you can get away with a good eye on small panel.

[@kyle.e3740]

Your my inspiration I’m 15 and want to be a bricky when I’m older Thankyou
