Brickwork is a form of masonry that uses bricks and mortar. Rows of bricks-or, 'courses'-are placed on top of each other in order to create a structure such as a wall. This is volume I of William Frost's The Modern Bricklayer , a detailed guide to all aspects of bricklaying, including slating, tiling, planning, materials, tools, and more. Contents include: Bricks and Their Varieties , Mortars , Tools and Appliances , Preliminary Considerations , The Bonds , Foundations and Footings , Junction Walls , Angles , Jointing and Pointing , Fireplaces and Chimneys , The Domestic Copper , Window and Door Openings , etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on DIY.
