As mason's apprentice in #Amsterdam I discover the wealth of traditional bond systems for brick #masonry. From top to bottom: Cross bond (the most commonly used in buildings age 100 or more); Flemish bond; Norse bond; standing bond

Brick is beautiful. I worked as a form carpenter for many years. I considered myself a concrete mason. Still I always had to tilt my hat to the brick mason.

I made lintels and built forms for masons so I've gotten to pretend I was part of the team.
