How to Build a Block Wall Lay the Blocks

Wonderful to listen to...simple, humble and no sales gimmicks..Thank you Steve..

This is probably the best video out there on how to learn how to do a cinderblock wall. I'm working on my own wall right now and referring to this video again when I need to see how something is done!

I love how he has little no no excitement about anything. It shows he knows exactly how to do every step of the process!

can you ask your camera man to keep up with the block laying please? he's fixed on one view whilst your doing something else.

Nicely done, Kelly.

Great effort Steve thank you so much.

Only one problem u didn't show us how to use the adjustable block lines you used the board ones instead but great video !

Now I know I can perfect my ways I truthfully thank you.

Why you you spread the head joint on both blocks lol😅

I've always wanted to try laying blocks. Watching you use the tools and explain the process. Was priceless . Thanks for your wisdom. Awesomeness

The background music is distracting.

You can ALWAYS trust an experienced guy who rocks the Canadian Tuxedo!!

This is precisely the way we were taught by our dad in the early 70s'! Thanks for the memories; oh, we never got paid either. We were free labor! As pops would say: I clothed you, fed you, provided a house over your head, and you have these skills for the rest of your life for free! Now get to WORK! LOL, Who else out there heard the same crap? : ) Even better is that my youngest son is teaching my grandchildren the same way. I taught him the same way! Now get to work, grandkids!

Am from Uganda and we want you saves

Would you use this same procedure for a 45 foot long wall only 2 blocks high? Just wondering if the line would still be accurate at the 45 foot length I’m trying to do. Thanks

This man is a real lecture,God continue adding more days.

This guy look and act like a killer,I see why he is good at making block walls,to hinding stuff

We're are you getting the motor gage for the courses

You shouldn't have quit school in the 6th grade and you could've gotten a better job and wouldn't have to do this kind of work.

How did you go from 2 to 12 shovels of sand? That's only 4 scoops. I thought you said you needed 12 scoops!! I'm confused!!

Great video

What a lovely video by a man who clearly takes pride in doing things properly! Thanks for sharing!

I enjoyed watching you look at your tools. It sure looks like you know what you're doing. I, however, am going to look for an actual how-to video.

Great instructions, I enjoyed and gonna give it a try.

Great video. Thank you sir.

Loved the video! Wish you would have demonstrated how to tie all that rebar together. Assuming you wire tie the bar, and fill vertical cells with concrete.

Only problem i can see os ,you arent here to teach me more,love you strive fpr perfection,beautiful wall

Thank you

Thank you Steve Kelly. It was a straight up lesson on how to build these walls. Need more people like you in this world. Thanks again

He’s an amazing teacher for sure !

When I was a kid, around 13-14, in the summers, I tended for my cousins and uncle. They were all union Masons. I could tend for two of em pretty easily. But when there were three, I was hoppin' ! My job was setting them up with block, mixing mud and loading the hocks or boards and striking the block ! We set all of our corners / leads the first day, an easy one ! The next couple of days we ran hard ! 700-1000 block a day was the norm ! We used the older wooden string blocks on the outside of the corners. Those little metal thingies weren't around yet !

I loved your demonstration!

How can I enroll on this training,I am interested.

Great job great instructions

Cameraman should have been fired

I, saw and watched you before now you should drill holds in the ground for those steel and I would love to know why the line used in different ways close to the end.

Thanks,I'm a beginner and have learnt a lot from this video

Great job teaching the very basics of block laying. Our school district no longer has shop class, auto mechanics, drafting or electronics courses. I have been a general contractor since 1972. I started out as a masonry contractor. These days I can no longer high hire help right out of high school. Kids today really do not have skills with tools or the trades. I have resorted to hiring retirees willing to work a few days per week. At least they show up and are willing to give me a day’s honest labor. Bugaiski Construction, Michigan
