Aussie here. And someone trying to learn how to lay Besser blocks (what you'd call "cinderblocks"). After creating my first wee wall at the weekend (8000x400mm), came to YouTube looking for additional tips and tricks.

Firstly: your trowel guy. Work of art. If I could trowel like that, I'd die a happy man. Secondly, really enjoyed the clear commentary and camerawork. Voiceover guy does a great job.

Anyway, thank you for a really informative video. Good luck to all the amateur DIYers luck out there; may all your walls be straight and true!

Just wanted to commend you on your no-nonsense style of doing these videos and your expert knowledge and instruction. Whether you know it or not, you're helping people really far away to bring their vision to reality. Thank you.

These types of walls should be a requirement for people with big dogs that run through wood fenced yards

you make it look so easy, when in reality takes many years of hard hot days out there. My hats off senor

thanks for the great video. my favorite quote "plumb is basically level vertically"

[paulmurphy]

This is the second of your videos I've watched. Loving it! Keep teaching this woodworker to do concrete.

There is no better feeling than watching people that know what they're doing.

Amazing work. I love watching people who are amazing at what they do and take absolutely 0 shortcuts.

Good job on that wall and in the event of a tornado I would be the first one behind it with all that concrete and rebar!

Nice job for telling us how it is done in a simple way. We are concrete block machine manufacturers and I will show this video to our customers having questions about how to sell the blocks.

This is mainly about masonry with some mention of rebars but in the early '70s I did a couple of years of rebar work on drainage tunnels, retaining walls and so forth; I'm often fascinated by the complexities of different kinds of construction work..., it reminds me of how ignorant I am about so many things. Good Work !!!

I wish you were here in Phoenix, you do some outstanding work that will last a lifetime. You pay attention to detail which makes the difference. My idea if I were to build a home would be the block being reinforced at the sides of all doors and windows, then at minimum every three feet down the wall. This would rebar placed in the cores at all doors and windows, then at 36 inch intervals or less. Then bond beams every two feet up the wall for 5 bond beams on a 8 foot high wall. My home I live in is 4x8x16 block and was very well laid. There is no bucking and weaving of the block, nice straight mortar lines. It was built in a subdivision around 1966-67. Because the block was so well laid, had I been the contractor, the masonry guys would have gotten bonuses for their work, you can tell they took pride in their job. I see it in your crews as well, attention to detail is so very important. Outstanding work!!

Yo your video’s are dope and I don’t even do concrete work. I love that you work with your sons. Peace, Love, Wealth, Health& Happiness to y’all

I live out in the country and everyone's always shooting. Yesterday a stray bullet killed my little dog in my backyard. So here I am learning how to build a type of fencing that I can do myself that's also bulletproof. Keep the bullets out of my acre backyard where my 6 yr old plays. Too paranoid now and with daily shooting going on I'm never going to feel comfortable w my kids running around out there until I know bullets aren't gonna be whizzing through low to the ground anymore.
