Handcrafted vaulted Catalan brick roof, Boveda catalana

Description via LiveLeak:

Boveda Catalana - Art Of Bricklaying

Boveda Catalana - The Catalonian roof, is a beautiful form for a roof and a weekend mason's nightmare.

This style is usually made with supports, line strings etc. This guy just... does it.

I found it interesting, how wet mortar he uses. Possibly because a thick seam would take too long to dry, and this way he can use the mortar as glue?

Bring on the inevitable bricklaying jokes.

How to Lay Cinder Blocks Like a Pro has been added as a related post - related requested by notarobot.

Totally not related! Just because 2 videos are about construction, doesn't mean they are directly related to each other!
Related videos are 2-parters or same event shot from different angels. Not just because they are about the same very general topic! For that we have tags and channels!
