Different Brick
This is some brick that is being laid on a new house in my area.
The dented ends make it tough to tool the joints. Thought I would share. |

Re: Different Brick
Very true! At first glance I didn't like it. But it kinda grows on you after awhile.

Re: Different Brick
I do like it. Looking at the corners it appears kinda narrow. How wide is it?

Re: Different Brick
Stacker,
The bed joints are tooled with a barrel jointer, and the perps/head joints are struck with a homemade tool. It is a piece of copper tubing with a loop in the end. I will take picture and post it. But a stick would do the trick as well! |
