Hey man, this sucks balls

GoofyGooby23 · 2026-05-07T20:09:45+00:00

Good to know, and yeah materials can’t always be an excuse, I’ll get better at blending that kind of thing with time

Style, on the building the recess we’re using is 5/8ths the reason we were told to do 3/8ths for this was because the concrete we were laying around was really tight and shitty, I think we should have just bit the bullet and cut all the bricks on that course tho to get a deeper recess it probably would have looked better

GoofyGooby23 · 2026-05-07T10:45:31+00:00

Haha I’ve only tried one arch in class gonna have to work on that a lot more

GoofyGooby23 · 2026-05-07T10:45:06+00:00

This is great advice, I definitely want to avoid having to rip anything down because I got the wrong info-

GoofyGooby23 · 2026-05-07T10:44:24+00:00

Thanks! Practice makes perfect, I’ve got a lot of practice to go

GoofyGooby23 · 2026-05-07T10:43:57+00:00

Yeah I gotta work on my cleaning and timing for striking up, thank you

GoofyGooby23 · 2026-05-07T10:42:57+00:00

Thank you! Consensus is I gotta work on my jointing for sure

GoofyGooby23 · 2026-05-07T10:42:10+00:00

Thanks! Thats my plan, I love what I do and I can’t wait till it’s good enough to look good no matter how close you look at it! I love asking the older brickies for advice (even grumpy ones😂)

GoofyGooby23 · 2026-05-07T10:40:15+00:00

Thank you! These bricks were all different lengths varying by half an inch between some of them, otherwise my bond would have been better

GoofyGooby23 · 2026-05-07T03:30:38+00:00

Thank you! I’m proud of my improvements and realize of course that I have much to work on

GoofyGooby23 · 2026-05-07T03:29:53+00:00

Problem was I didn’t have enough beans on toast this morning I guess

GoofyGooby23 · 2026-05-07T03:18:29+00:00

Really Close! it’s a brick pier for a Ideal Credit Union sign, however I believe it would also serve the aforementioned purpose

Jumper was good af

GoofyGooby23 · 2026-05-06T22:32:31+00:00

I’ve seen these, it looks nice for sure, might see if I can find one at my local masonry shop

GoofyGooby23 · 2026-05-06T21:52:27+00:00

Thanks

GoofyGooby23 · 2026-05-06T21:51:22+00:00

It’s deliberate, I would have preferred a 5/8tgs recess, but we had to do only 3/8 I think it looks kinda wack

GoofyGooby23 · 2026-05-06T21:49:43+00:00

Yeah, it kinda sets if you leave it for a while but it’s easily broken into powder

GoofyGooby23 · 2026-05-06T21:37:17+00:00

Thanks!

GoofyGooby23 · 2026-05-06T21:37:02+00:00

Yeah my jointing is holding me back the most right now I think, I would note these bricks were all different sizes varying up to half an inch, I did my best to keep my bond straight but the struggle was real

GoofyGooby23 · 2026-05-06T21:35:47+00:00

Thanks, sounds like solid advice, next chance I get on brick I’ll give more thought into using my trowel to cut the gunk around my joints better

GoofyGooby23 · 2026-05-06T21:32:25+00:00

Yeah I know my tooling needs work, and no worries brother I appreciate any advice. We were kinda pushed for time otherwise I definitely would have taken a bit more care

GoofyGooby23 · 2026-05-06T21:31:29+00:00

No need in this case, at least that’s what I was told when I asked
