I've waited 23 years for someone to explain these majorly important, foundation bricklaying skills in such a simple and easy way. Amazing video and thank you for going over the basic in great detail.

[@Rooster_Snuffer]

What’s a good brand of plasticizer? I live in Pueblo,Colorado USA… Our main hardware store is lowes and all they carry is Sika, latex adhesive additive. I need some help…911!

[@Stucrompton1]

im just working on the subtitles for this video i wont be long, i hope you enjoy all these new bricklaying tutorials guys and gals, going back to my roots and giving back to youtube as i have learned a lot from this platform myself. :)

[@jheez1930]

stu crompton great video 👍

[@colinwild7482]

stu crompton isn’t mortar like a woman, the more you play with it the wetter it gets? 😂

[@scottbaird603]

My apprenticeship finished in1993, so I’ve been on the tools most of my life. Saw all sorts over the years, from brickwork artists, to as close as you could get to vandalism, without being arrested. You my man are without doubt one of the neatest bricklayers I’ve ever seen. Keep up the great work, respect from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@michaelshults7675]

Your a great mason and teacher! Most mason's are bully's to upcoming apprentices. My own Dad talked down to me. He was also a great Mason, but a terrible terrible teacher. He didn't have patience for anything, he couldnt do anything without losing his cool or temper, but for some odd reason though when he picked up a trowel and level, then genius kicked in, there was nothing he wouldn't tackle when it came to tedious brickwork, but anything else he was lost. I just wish we could have worked together, but unfortunately he and I couldn't. Great video man! All the way from USA!

[@fishmut]

Michael Shults ..it’s a shame your dad didn’t take the opportunity to show you with kindness, he has missed out on valuable time with his son, don’t take it to heart mate he probably was brought up the same way so he didn’t know, (old school ways) you can’t look soft or weak but be hard , stay focused and learn mate you can do it . 👍

[@SolidworksUnlimited]

Respect is what I have for you sir!

[@almostanengineer]

You’ve taught me more in 12 minutes than I was taught when my school sent me on a day release program for troubled students that was supposed to actually teach you how to lay bricks 🧱 did in the four weeks worth I did before I quit

[@gbwildlifeuk8269]

The school sent you to get you out their hair! Maybe you didnt learn much there because your attitude prevented you from listening or concentrating, because you were still in a "school environment". You probably concentrated watching the video.

[@DarrenVelSatis]

difficulty when you start on a course like that is in the first 100 hours you probably don't really develop many skills, you might gain a bit of strength in the wrist and your back, 1,000 hours and you would be getting there.

[@dannyboy9817]

Brilliant tutorial Stu, hats off to you. Many years ago, I did a beginners bricklaying night class at my local college, the tutor was a seasoned bricky too. The first evening class was similar to what you have just demonstrated. He gave us all a length of 4"x3" timber to practice laying the mortar onto and he wouldn't let us loose with any bricks until we could lay a neat bed along the timber without getting it all over the floor. You are a natural teacher Stu and a lot of folks are going to learn great skills in your academy.

[@kbb6279]

Beautiful bricks! Obviously the king of all trades is bricklaying. Skills! Endurance! Power! Discipline! Love it!

[@user-ui7jq9fz2v]

What a gift Stu. None i have seen with such an amazing use of hands on how to play with a trowel. You are really an inspiring teacher. I have learned a lot in such a minute from your video. Keep up the good work and teach us more we will be great builders of our generation. Moses. Meadowlands South Africa

[@sarcasmo57]

That mortar looks delicious.

[@93eze2]

Mortar board lesson long time since seen that good on you Stu lets get the pride back in the young ones good one you fella x

[@utilitarian]

I got excited when I watched your last video yesterday and you mentioned starting the tutorial series. I’ve never laid a brick in my life but I’m going to try a small garden wall eventually and any hints and tips I get from your videos will maybe stop me making a complete hash of it. I’ve a desk jockey by day 😂💪🏻 cheers, can’t wait for the next one!

[@danceintothefire2265]

How did you get on?

[@stevehenke678]

Omg Stu what a brilliant idea for your next video! Sling mortar in from yards away with a 9 iron.

[@khtreelandscape8036]

Thanks stu is I am a tree surgeon gardener but going to give some bricklaying a go in my own garden making a bar and bbq area out of breeze blocks , would like to say thank you for the videos as helps so much watching this

[@MMG_MoonManGuitar]

Makes me actually want to take up bricklaying Stu! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@peterdawson5115]

Takes me back to my trade training course at Beverley College in the early 80's , nice one Stu, keep them coming.

[@miketaicee8570]

Thanks for this Stu - been watching your channel for a while now, and i think i may try doing my garden wall when weather gets nice.

[@nickakabusi438]

I'm two months into a apprenticeship and I'm still terrible lol a real tricky trade to pick up, brill videos mate

[@kdm5755]

So happy with these tutorials definitely will be educating myself with these keep them coming stu 👌🏻

[@markanthony7184]

Brilliantly explained! I want to add something about laying hollow concrete blocks if I may. The sides of those are less than two inches, so what I do when laying those, is to take some mortar in a similar way to the video here, then slap the trowel down on the board, and then the mortar sticks to it better so that you can rotate your wrist anti clockwise if right handed, and then best way I can explain it is to scrape the trowel of the mortar along the outside edge of the block lowering the trowel as you go, leaving a nice small little toblerone. The same on the other side of the blocks of course and ready to lay. Again try it and experament and hope that might help somebody. Take care and God bless.

[@ReferenceFidelityComponents]

Thanks for posting...just about to start my first big project building a 125ft brick and block wall, so tips like this are invaluable to the DIYer!

[@wademacphee3924]

Just took a 9 month course brick and stone mason. Mortar consistently is important. Keep it livend up eh

[@lilmonkey9919]

This is brilliant. I've started learning Carpentry and Bricklaying in College this week. It was my first time doing Bricklaying today and I learnt how to bond the bricks and use the mota and we built a little practice wall. Using the Trowel is hard at first and we was shown the Cut and Roll technique. You get the hand of it after much practice. Thanks again for the video 😁.

[@bushman9610]

Can't wait till you get to 100k. Going to be an monumental time. 🙏😎

[@93eze2]

Always stay tru Stu keep on keeping on x

[@mikeberry304]

Practice makes perfect Stu, great educational video for many viewers of your channel, well done

[@raystaff386]

I've never done any brick laying but if I do, I've got the wrist strength covered 100%.If u know what I mean.

[@Stucrompton1]

Cheers pal will do mate

[@michaelc7259]

Great Lesson, thank you for your time and great teaching details, God Bless

[@caddi70]

tried replacing some cinder block today. I'm 51 and never used mortar before. Thought I was doing it completely wrong because I was getting more on the ground than in the blocks. mine still looks like crap, but it's just a porch. If I was building a wall, it would probably fall down lol

[@toddavis8603]

You make it look easy----TY Stu.

[@dermotkelly6946]

Thank you 👍

[@JimJimpmjj]

Excellent video. Thanks look forward to the next installment. Hope your still going to video your work on jobs I enjoy all your content. 👍👍👍👌🍺

[@alexsmithers866]

Great video, Stu. I’m learning a lot. Could you please do one on the different types of mortar and how to make the different colours?

[@stevemack60]

Excellent, thanks very much Stu.

[@jonathandixon8456]

The mortar you load onto your trowel is called a pear of mortar

[@Stucrompton1]

Thank Jonathon I know for next time

[@shedroids]

Thank you for sharing your fantastic skills with us... loved this lesson of fundamentals! :)

[@judgeroybean6930]

Hi Stuart, s`funny you just talked about doing whatever you do / attempt to the best of your ability whatever it is because if I'm ever trying to get that across to anyone and how important it is to make your best effort and that you can't ever reproach yourself, I always say something along the lines of 'imagine you're building a wall, the most important thing is the base (like the first line you lay) because providing you take care and check things, whatever follows SHOULD be OK also, but if you lay the first line wonky everything following will be the same'. just a tenet I try to stick with.

[@Sujeent]

So much common sense in his tutorials that its not common. :)

[@jonathandixon8456]

After years of using Marshall town Philadelphia pattern I've gone back to a London pattern Nela trowel with a cork handle that I use for brickwork .....still use a 11inch Marshall town for blocks but the steel seems poor quality compared to the steel on the Nela , tap them both on a scaff tube and the Nela is still ringing 30 seconds later . Bit of a long way round the houses to ask if your going to do a trowel review video . Enjoying the videos and enjoying bricklaying again ....roll on summer .

[@benmcdonnell2364]

Very helpful excellent videos. Would like to see you laying on jobs extentions etc keep it up

[@Stucrompton1]

Will do when it stops raining

[@93eze2]

Good stuff 👍

[@Albanileria-fc1nl]

What mix do I use to practice? I have heard that the mixture only uses lime and sand, is this correct? in what proportions? Your videos are excellent, the best one can find, thank you, greetings from Argentine Patagonia

[@user-kt6ll5hu8h]

Thank you for the lesson.

[@Stucrompton1]

Did you understand ok?

[@thetrevcom]

Great video lots of good tips and explinations,

[@Mobile-pd1uc]

Why do you not want the mortar spread evenly to the cavity side? Is it so the it is to ensure enough render is squeezed out to form a neat mortar line on the front? Also if I were building a single brick garden boundary wall, say 4ft by 12ft long. Do you usually cut the half bricks before hand?

[@morganazzopardi2187]

Ty stu. Respect my dude.

[@dmcgwhisper5945]

Hi. How about a 3 brick width/deep garden wall ie two skins with bricks in the middle in same direction? Please. Hard to put middle brick in without moving outer bricks, then levelling AAAAGGGGHHHHH! 😄

[@Jon-em4kc]

You can always tell an expert by how easily they explain things. Excellent Stu.

[@owsi2297]

Great video with great tips Cheers 👍

[@Dts1953]

Great video and lesson Stu.

[@Stucrompton1]

[@tbft123]

They have a go at me on sight for spreading my mortar like that lol they say don't use the point 🤣 but that was the way they showed me at college edit the second one you showed is how they want me to do it

[@GSarkozy]

[@MichaelB7965]

Hi Stu do you have a Pattron account ? You should charge for this your bloody good at what you do . I should know been building for 20 years bricklaying and plastering . Brilliant work keep it up .

[@user-vt8dr6wp1f]

Подскажите начинающему, какие пропорции делать для учебного раствора что бы можно было разбирать кладку и снова его использовать, глина или известь что вы добавляете? спасибо что делаете нас лучше!!!

[@goldentiger1841]

Something about seeing mortar that makes me want to eat ice cream.

[@carolinemoore1172]

Hi stu I have more information about brick layer watching ur video.

[@theferreira8632]

Great video !!! Quick question: will i be fine building my summer house ( 7mx4m) on my backyard using just 100mm concrete blocks all around (single wall) plus door and windows. Then 45mm thick wooden frame inside on walls (all around) to put 40mm insulation celotex and then cover it all with plasterboards to finish it off. Then roof using thick sleeper's every 60cm. will it work fine or will it fall to bits? Thanks

[@DarrenVelSatis]

great work Stu, its the right time for you to do this now you have your presenting skills, I love the Toblerone, brickies are mostly visual learners, it was quite funny the Toblerone popping up each time you said the word! You should do more of this with pictures popping up in the corner, its a brilliant way to embed details, I also liked your analogy with the golfing terminology too. Can I recommend to you a radio show by Nick Abbott, he uses 'sound effects' in his shows and it is hilarious. I'm not suggesting you use sound effects but the pictures in the corner popping up at the right time is the video equivalent of a sound effect. Loving the languages, I have done this with my videos where the titles are in French or Spanish you pick up a different group of viewers, you are on the right track. I can tell you one of my videos has 1.2m views because it went viral somewhere in asia. Albañilería Lección 1 - Difundir mortero; 50% of the world speak Spanish then watch them videos fly. You need to put Albañilería into your video tags, search Albañilería and none of your videos show up, try it. I did.

[@Stucrompton1]

cheers mate and yeah great suggestion with the sound effect, i will try that too thanks pal

[@whitenight1961]

Hi Stu, how would you lay hollow concrete blocks
