Now show the government run version of masonry - He smashes the bricks into a pile dumps a ton of cement over it and demands $680 million for the job.

That man is an artiste, you can tell he’s laid down a lot of brick. There’s almost a meditative quality to this video.

My dad was a mason tender when I was growing up. He didn’t have many good things to say about masons. ha-ha

This is a cool video, though.

There is the deepest human pleasure and satisfaction in performing such highly skilled work. I was an electrician for a number of years (put myself through college and law school) and I still love to pick up the tools whenever I can. Nothing beats the tangible results of running pipe and wire, installing fixtures or other equipment, hooking it all up and flipping the switch. I see that in this video: the man is making something solid, useful, enduring. That’s who we celebrate on Labor Day, not union thugs, but good, hardworking people who produce things.

I have been a masonry contractor for 32 years. I have laid my share of 12" block. I call them "Birth Control Block". Lay those all day and it's almost guaranteed your wife will not get pregnant that night.

It was delicate work to make smoke stacks. Any small error at the bottom and the whole thing would not be straight and collapse.

I worked as a tender for one summer while going to school. Rugged work...

Nice. What dexterity and precise load of mortar on the trowel.

Anybody know the song? I want to buy that and others by that group.
