Me,I'm blessed,I WAS TAUGHT TO LAY THE BRICKS FROM A 73 YEAR OLD ITALIAN contracter,who built his first chimney whe he was 16.......and we didn't have a machine to mix the mortar,we did it old school....by hand.
I'm a bricklayer,and I DON'T LAY 1000 bricks a day. I take my time,I LAY 300...BUT I make sure the joints are all 3/8 of an inch and SMOOTH always wash my walls after.
THE WALL lays a beautiful brick.tHE SECRET in MASONRY is the joints and the joints have to be perfect.
