About to start building my raised garden beds and finally found someone that answers some of the more obscure questions when laying blocks. Super useful and well explained. Thanks dude!
Just talking is fine,no music needed. I enjoy your show.
These videos are great. I’ve been labouring for brickies for 3 years and seen it all done but never had anything explained. Starting my apprenticeship this week so I’m finding this series really useful 👍
My trade is a plumber , but hgv driver now . (Hated going into customers houses ) I'm building my own extension and your you tube channel is absolutely invaluable. Cheers mate . You are a fabulous teacher . Gareth Jones
My grandfather was a bricklayer and stonemason, to me this is an art. Your videos are very easy to understand and follow. You teach the skills l always wanted to learn. It is great that you continue to teach others your skill!! Thank you! P.S. no music it's easier to hear you without music.
“That’s what she said” aye aye! Best without music.
🤣🤣
@@RodianBuilds No music - I can put music on myself it I want it

Best without the music, and awesome tutorial mate. Thank you. I have learned more about bricklaying in this one video than I have ever seen before, you are just an awesome instructor
Mate love the content. Really nice to find someone teaching from the ground up. Priceless.. appreciate it more than I can tell you.. please never stop doing these vids
if anybody was looking at getting a bricklaying nvq :) this is a good demonstration of what your first assessment would be :)
Just started on my brick laying journey love these tutorials. No music.
Sand and lime mortar video is a great idea, spent a LONG time surfing every bloody one on youtube a few months back, dont need one now but can say i never found one that clearly explained how to use the rehydrated (dry) stuff and how much to use etc. You go into proper detail which i love, cant wait for that one.
bet you have never took so long to build a corner lol, must be a right pain in the ass picking up a camera every 5 mins then having to put it down to level etc., respect for doing these vids mate!
I must admit, it does take some time setting up camera angles etc. Sometimes I scrap whole episodes and re record them from scratch. That's annoying 🤣 I have learnt a lot since starting the channel and am finding a routine that helps make the video filming/editing easier.
Hi, just wanted to say thank you for the videos, you gave me confidence to try bricklaying for something at home with your tips and tricks.
It turned out pretty well.
Thank you
Let’s see it
Thankyou! I'm going on my first brick laying project tomorrow! I'm from the Caribbean. I'm gona do a corner as well. Extension on the house on the landing of a step. Thankyou for all the detail! It's all I need!!!
Again , Very clear and simply put across Rodian , I will watch and watch again and again until i have mastered it my self , and thank you very much . Michael Patrick .
Very natural presenter 👌
A great practical young man who goes into detail and is honest enough to tell us what not to do, but he does it as in the case of letting 1mm height and scaping the mortar with his finger to show us how it affects the brick. This young proves the fact that "Written Laws are there for the guidance of intelligent people and for others to just follow blindly!! " Congratulations, young man>
Thank you Carmel Pule 😁👍🏻
Lots of tips and details only a pro could give. Great videos. Thanks
I like to hear the taps and scraps; it adds to the learning.
Scrap the music unless it’s played faster, good to be able to hear information, another great video 👍
Thanks for the feed back. The music has been scrapped from now on 👍🏻😁🧱
No music
Thanks so much. Very helpful. I’ve poured my concrete pad and will try to build my steps this weekend. Your videos make me think I can do it!
I myself luv the sound of muck and trowel and scraping I could listen all day
No music, great. I'm hearing what I should expect to hear when I do it myself. Thanks Rodian.
I am adding this comment just to say thank you! Every comment helps, and I would like to think positive sentiment helps also with the wizards at google.
I haven't searched your channel, but it would be interesting to learn more about code inspection for house construction. Its interesting to learn about the similarities and differences across climates and regions. I hope this has been rewarding for you.
Thanks mate I just been watching your video, you are fantastic bruv ! Thanks taking time to teach us all this lovely techniques to do our projects, don’t change nothing bruv it’s so down to earth and feels like we are sitting there in front of you, words can’t say more to say cheers 👍👌✊🇬🇧
Enjoy what your presenting mate, cheers
Wow, I've been watching for over a year. Well, over. And you've come a long way, buddy. Since I began my bricklayers course. I've been watching your channel.
I yet have gotten the chance to actually work. But, next summer, I'll be doing my own work in our own house yard.
But, in the meantime, since it is now winter. And the ground is full of snow. I'll be catching up on all the videos I've missed. And study and learn your tricks of the trades. To be nice and rdy for next winter. Thanks, pal. Keep us with the great content!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼💯👌🤙🤙🔥
Definitely no to background music, would rather see and hear what's going on.
Even if you're not talking I'd still rather here the tapping and scraping and birds singing, music masks the reality of the video.
You're tutorial's are brilliant! I'm bipolar. Some people say oh I'm sorry. But I've had the time of my life learning and doing to high standards. My 2000 bricks due tomorrow so I'm going to have some fun, frustration, but most importantly... I'm soooo pleased to have you guide me through my ambitious wall attempt! (NO MUSIC IS BEST).
Great videos. Thanks for these. Helps with a few home repair jobs. Come from an old brick layer family business, but never took it up.
Good informative advice in you well presented videos, a lot better without the background music though. Thank you and keep up the good work Rodian Builds.
I would like to do all the steps you are doing first and then if I don't like it I will see what is a better move but right now I like the way you do it.
Thanks for sharing this very helpful tutorial. I’m planning to make bbq and worktop.
Love the work! Regarding background music, I vote "yes". I think would add a bit finish and keeps the attention going as you do the repetitive bits. Looking forward to more videos.
Recent sub here. Really enjoying your channel, thanks for sharing your knowledge. Defo no background music for me. I prefer to listen to the work and chat as it happens.
Welcome to the channel buddy. Looks like most are happy without the music. I appreciate the feedback, thanks 🤙🏼🧱
We love you. I'm so interested. I love this job. You're a great teacher
Great job buddy. Learning bundles. Thanks for your time.
No music for me it gets you side tracked.
Good job nice of you to take the time to pass on your skills.
Cheers buddy 🧱👍🏻😁
This is not a dance class, no music necessary, thank you for the lessons Professor.
As my old Grandfather [born 1895] taught me 'Think thrice, Measure twice, Cut once' ..... The 'think thrice', is of equal importance but often forgotten these days!
Great helpful advice for the novice. Good explanation of what you're doing. Better to concentrate on the instructions without music IMO.
Good video with honesty.
I absolutely love your vids mate, you was the first person I watched when I got in to brick work as I pick brick to do a college and now I’m going into an apprenticeship on Monday also I hit the level but I hit it with the butt of the trowel not the edge as I don’t think it will mark the level as much but I also hit the brick which I find works better, I prefer you talking about what your doing as we can get tips on how to do what your doing
Thanks for the lessons. My brick BBQ grill is gonna be awesome!!
The best lesson!
Thank you so much buddy for your videos.
Brilliant. No music thanks.
thank you so much, these videos are so informative. Your explanations are so clear and concise!
that mortar looks like Butterscotch.
Love your vids. Keep up the good work.
I'm happy what you doing Thank You 🏗️🏫🏫🏫🏫🏫🕌🏥🏨👷
Excellent mate, thanks for taking the time to pass on your knowledge
No worries Bertie Blue 😁 Thanks for taking the time to watch 👍🏻🧱
Great video well done 👍.you are star ⭐️ of the show.
Great video, giving me the confidence to have a go myself. Might take a while for me to build it, but I’ll save a fortune.
Oh, and no background music, it really distracts from the content you are trying explain. Keep em coming!
I’ve only just found your channel and know nothing about bricklaying. However I am finding it fascinating. One thing I can add though is why the hollowed out part of the brick is called the frog. The underside of a horses hoof to the rear, the V part is called the frog, which acts as a shock absorber to the hoof, which I can relate to the brick. The only explanation I can think of, but I may be wrong of course 😬
No background music, I want to hear and concentrate on what you are saying and watching your technique without any distraction. Liked your advice about ranging being quicker - as a beginner, I hated tapping all over the place! Thanks.
Nice video ! Here are a few suggestions. On quoin brick and the tail brick of leads,place level across brick. If face is square to beds,the brick will be plumb when crossed leveled. Also,on longer leads, 4-5 brick,lay quoin brick and tail brick first and level. Reason being,it is easier to lay and level infill brick between two points. Lastly,glue a piece of wood to face of boat level exact width as longer levels. Reason being,contact points will be exactly the same ,hence you will get exactly same reading when you switch over to longer levels. Thanks for sharing your video.
thanks for leaving off the music - much better :)
great video! I would like to see a video combining laying a course against a back wall and attaching holding tabs, etc. Thanks!
Good man keep do what you doing Thank You 🏫
I like the colour of your muck, I wish my college muck was this colour as I think it makes the brick stand out 😎💯
Thanks for the tutorial mate. Like the bantering as you butter. Ron from way down under here in New Zealand.
Great tutorial! Thank you
Prefer without music!
I was taught to plumb every brick in the first course. And every course, of course. But, by so ng the first one. The rest should sit nicely in place.
Great job❣️
Miss your house build videos but these are very very very helpful 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I love these videos they are very helpful for me as a student. I have 1 year to be ready for next year as my dads boss wants me at his firm.
Jesus loves you Rodian God bless you and your channel. Btw we have the same boatie level:)haha whoo
great video you are a very good tutor! I like the background music! I have never laid a single brick, but from your training I am starting to feel more and more confident, I have a garden wall project plus a garden path . I shall start practice next week. Could you tell me quantity's of sand and lime mortar? just for practice please Rodian****
On episode 5 Rodian, never layed a brick,enjoying learning from your videos.
Love your instructions and please no background music. Only distraction!
Awesome video mate. Your videos are really informative. Thanks for posting. 👍
No worries buddy, thanks for watching😁🧱👍🏻
Nice video!! The indention is called a frog because back when bricks were molded by hand, the people making them said the molds looked like they had crouching frogs in them, the frog!!
Thanks again for the video, a great help. No background for me ta.
Background music: its really cathartic to just be able to watch you do brick work...the sounds of the work are poignant and this is important to get a real feeling for the job....but when you hit an part where there is plenty of repetition, doesn't happen much in your videos, then some background music whilst this is happening, in regular time or sped up, makes a difference, its cinematic (your style is sick so just do your thing...we love it)...if you read this then next time you use background music use and Aussie song...thanks for these very interesting videos...never thought I'd love watching brick laying so much...just pandemic pivoted to building design...so these videos are vey valuable....again cheers...Jeremy from Australia!...
This was really helpful. I've got the bottom half of a chimney breast to rebuild soon and i have very little exposure to laying bricks. I'll keep watching. any tips? thanks again.
Found your channel looking for instructions on how to build a couple steps to my shed out of reclaimed brick. Any advice on best practices for building brick steps?
Background music: NAY! :-)
For the rest: Thanks for the great tutorials, man. Keep 'em coming.
Nice vids very helpful. I like no music
Great videos Rodian - going to have a go at a low wall with some lime / sand mix. Keep sending us your videos.
Good luck with your wall. Hopefully my garden wall video will be of some help 👍🏻🧱
@@RodianBuilds Thanks Rodian. The viideo just popped up on the right of my screen - will watch it. Cheers bud - hope married life is going well.
Great videos, thanks for creating them.
How do you make sure that you always fit a full brick with the correct 10mm perp at the end of any wall? What if the wall you are building doesn't fit a full number of bricks?
Mate u the man 👍🏻 looking forward to this later
Thanks as always Jim 😁👍🏻🧱
😅... "that's what she said" , I love it😅
Thanks, mate, the video was helpful. You should have plumped the first brick on both sides, cause I saw space between the first and the third brick that's because you forgot to plump both sides.
As you move along with your brickwork, also your experience and speed, the muck would be setting/going off between the bricks, allowing you to actually speed up your laying, if that makes sense....?.. learning me loads at 60 yrs
Just found this channel, loving it!
Rodian i think your a great bloke and i love your instruction im probaly to old now but i would have loved to been your labourer and learn from you /cheers mate pete cordery
Who else thought the CZcams play button in the backround was an actual button to press on their laptop? lmao... Great content btw im an aspiring International student and all this stuff is helping me get a better idea of what it takes to be a Bricklayer and what kind of work I'd be doing.
I completed a small project and have to thank excellent videos like this for making the project successful. My only question: I built a small retaining structure for a garden but do I need to cover the tops of the bricks? I'm concerned about cracking due to frost. I was thinking of just using a sealant.
Can you do some videos on how to add rafter ties and openings for doors/windows?
Everyone taps there level now and again either when plumbing wall or leveling as it is quicker and better than tapping each individual brick 👍
I couldnt agree more. On the flip side, I've seen people hitting their level with a club hammer to straighten their corners 🤣🤣🧱
wheaten bread it’s better to tap the brick than the level, if you have your hand on the level at the same time you can feel which brick is in need of adjusting
your a legend
Mate for me no music... I'm not a brickie I'm a chef!! I'm wanting to build a outside cooking area with a pizza oven so I need to listen and learn.
Great vids by the way ! Great help with detail!
Rodian, i need to lay 2 courses for a workshop im building, 9x16ft, would you advise doing it this way working out from one corner?
You can get special masons levels from Stabila with guards for tapping it. I tap my levels but only slightly and I have s rubber bump guard on my handle.
It's been quite a few years since I bought a level. Didnt know they made ones with a tapping guard...think I'll have a look 🤣👍🏻🧱
Great vids RB.Sounds a bit boring but i prefer no music even if you're not chatting. Just the sound of laying bricks is enough.This maybe a rookie question but why is a string line on a pin? I may learn this a s i progress through the videos.
Hey Rodian. Loving the new vids. Got a question for you....
How much slower is it to build in a Flemish bond pattern vs a stretcher bond?
Cheers Henry😁👍🏻 It is definitely slower because you have to snap the headers. If you have a labourer they can do it for you but then it would cost more to pay them. I couldnt tell you how much slower but it definitely is slower........but I think not looks way smarter 🧱👌🏼😁
Very informative! Thank you for the video's! Im new to this! How tall can you go up,? I wonder at 1 single story , the weight factor.
Another good n pal . I must admit in college I was never told to “ check my plums “ 😳😂😂🧱👍🏽
@Michael Jones A superb point stalin, well said!
Cheers buddy. You should always check your plums! Cancer is an absolute wanker!!
Rodian Builds 😬😵🧱👍🏽
I have a question, if you don’t mind. When laying first course on a uneven footer(in my case, on cut stone) do you just fill in the low areas with muck or is there another way? When using old large brick for exterior wall and smaller modern brick for interior wall how do you tie the two walls together? Thicker beds for the smaller brick to bring them up to same level as larger brick? Silly questions I know, but I’m learning greatly from your channel. Thank you, Jamie
I hit both my levels and the block/brick.
Hey Rodian, wish I had been your apprentice, most of the I would stack out as much as safety would allow, he loved my compo, boards were were always full & ready. He never paid me, but I started out labouring anyway, no was getting paid to have one. Last time I saw was after making a mix full gravel, shit with anti freeze. Anyway really lucky to get a new boss, got my blue card and did really well for a good few years. No through some tragedies, personal problems. My confidence is shot. It would take me a while to get back up to speed. I'm just wandering how get back into it? Keep being let go as I been out the game so long or start back labouring, dropping hints, I can lay i just need a chance, thanks love your work btw
