I agree ! how bloody good is that guy. If this was in Australia there would have been scaffolding, wood supports, steel fixing and it would have taken a week to complete.

Instead of starting a new thread, thought I'd place a few construction / manufacturing videos which may be of interest. This video is probably suited to those folk who enjoy watching Blacksmiths at work with very large pieces of steel.

I am subscribed to this guy https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCy4w2OlwgrSAtxTbDZ-bYWQ He teaches bricklaying in Spain I think. Every now and then he gets tiny bricks and demonstrates 1:3 sized bricklaying in the classroom. Would love to get him over here to do some work.
