Great to see an expert at work!

 

[Fazby]

I would say that he has done that once before. Probably twice.

 

[Bub]

He is also probably not a one percenter, but his skills are priceless

 

[Natch]

He handles these blocks like they're standard bricks. I'll bet he has a hell of a handshake, especially if he used his left hand?

Just goes to show, if you do anything with skill its a pleasure to watch

God help the runner keeping him supplied with blocks and mortar. I have done that a couple times on one project. He went easy on me because I was a volunteer. Gloves don't last long.

 

[Bub]

Here is another skill...perhaps not as hard on the hands

That vid brought back memories. I've laid block in Guam, Okinawa, Thailand, Puerto Rico and a few other places too. It was fun when I was young. Formed and poured a hell of a lot of concrete too. Even ran the mixers for awhile.

There are nowhere near as many masons around as there were 20 years ago.
Most new construction is metal and glass for commercial and stick frame and vinyl siding for residential.
I am a carpenter and the only brickies I encounter these days are the restoration guys.
They will always be needed in some capacity but times are a changin.
