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 II 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: House Drains , Egg-Shaped and Circular Sewers , Sand Courses , Retaining Walls , Reinforced Brickwork , Arches , Cornices , Gauged Brickwork: Introduction , Gauged Work-Various Forms of Arches , Gauges Work-Arches , Gauged Work: Niches, Panels, and Mouldings , Terra-cotta and Glazed Ware , 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.
