The mason


Here I am building the arch; for the second time! The first time I forgot to put the pencils under the frame and when I pulled the frame out the whole thing came tumbling down. This time I also put a piece of metal rod, that I shaped to mach the arch, inside the top bricks and filled the holes with mud.
Before putting up the arch I used the dead blow hammer, seen in front of the arch, to set the hearth bricks. Some of the bricks where a little wider so I put them on an outside row where it won't make a difference. You can see this on the bottom right side of the picture.
