  WOW! &nbsp;This guy is good! &nbsp;One of the most important points that he makes concerns furrowing. &nbsp;Although furrowing is taught, practiced, and accepted as the &quot;right&quot; way to lay mortar, he explains exactly why furrowing is forbidden by many architects and engineers. &nbsp;Just remember, neither bricks nor mortar are water proof. &nbsp;Both bricks and water absorb water. &nbsp;If anyone ever tells you that you need to furrow your mortar, just refer to the points that he makes: &nbsp;1.) &nbsp;Furrowing does not fill the holes in the brick, and 2.) &nbsp;It creates a horizontal void that is ideal for collecting water, which is exactly what destroys brick work over time -- especially in areas of the country where we have a melting and freezing cycle in the same day (Colorado, Wyoming, Montana --- places that I have lived and worked). &nbsp;The water collects in the day time, then it freezes at night. &nbsp;This causes the water to freeze and expand, which then causes the joints to crack, which then lets in more water, &nbsp;which eventually leads to crumbling of the brick work.

  Stumbled across this by accident. &nbsp;I&apos;m always amazed when I watch professionals at the top of their games. The guy was out there in a sweater and collard shirt and not an ounce of cement went anywhere except exactly where he wanted it to. Amazing talent...

  I&apos;m always amazed by the skills of a bricklayer. &nbsp;Most people &nbsp;don&apos;t recognize how many hours and years it takes to possess such skills. Great video. Thank you for sharing 👍🏻

  I have been watching these videos and this person has a lot of knowledge and knows everything about this art I have tried to lay bricks and I&apos;m terrible doing it and I can see that his hands produce not walls but a work of art and I&apos;m just so happy that he is willing to share his knowledge with people like me and hope that his art can pass to future generations

  Many years ago I lived in a brick house built in 1948. &nbsp;The brick was backed with veneer block wich was also set on the top of the foundation. &nbsp;The only problem was the small front porch and steps. &nbsp;The joints failed and I had to clean the bricks and relay them. &nbsp;That chore took me two or three days because I had never used mortar before. &nbsp;I dropped the steps about 1/4&quot; to the front so water would drain out. &nbsp;55 years later the bricks are still holding.

  Really enjoy watching you lay brick and instruct while working. I am going to do a brick pillar job soon and am ready to begin. Level, plumb and straight; great advice. Thank you for sharing your skill, knowledge and patience with us.
