Mark McCullough shares his favorite homeowner-friendly masonry tools with Kevin O'Connor and explains how to use them for entry level projects.

Where to find it?
Mark starts off with a measuring tape, mason’s line [https://homedepot.sjv.io/9gq2XQ] to assist in creating a straight line from one point to another, and a torpedo level [https://homedepot.sjv.io/PynBPq]. Next, he includes a brick hammer [https://homedepot.sjv.io/VmdgGk] for cutting bricks, multiple chisel [https://homedepot.sjv.io/zNOR77] sizes for different sized masonry joints. Mark recommends a rubber mallet [https://homedepot.sjv.io/nLVg7a] for brick walkways laid on sand to secure them in place without damaging the brick. A masonry grout bag [https://homedepot.sjv.io/R5EKBy] can be used to easily apply mortar into joints.

For application, Mark suggests using a finishing trowel [https://homedepot.sjv.io/MmEgJN] for repairs to concrete patios or walkways. He recommends using a brick trowel [https://homedepot.sjv.io/QyE0oz] for step or stone wall repairs. To take out and repair stone joints, Mark recommends a margin trowel [https://homedepot.sjv.io/PynBXq]. A jointer/slicker [https://homedepot.sjv.io/q4oVJq] is used to fill and smooth masonry joints while also sealing them from any moisture.

For clean up, Mark recommends using a hard bristle brush [https://homedepot.sjv.io/bayBAv] to clean up any dust or debris on the floor. A soft bristle brush [https://homedepot.sjv.io/0Zz2LY] is recommended for finished brickwork to clean off any imperfections after repairs. He also recommends large grouting sponges [https://homedepot.sjv.io/9gQ655] to clean up any dust or grout pilling on the brickwork.

Freemasonry isn’t one thing, but many, and it has always been this way. Much of this vagueness and variety stems from the fact that Freemasonry’s origins are lost in time. As ever, people see what they want to see and believe what they want to believe. Therefore, unsurprisingly, Freemasonry grew into a worldwide presence, and in this video we see how it inspired and influenced society as we know it today.

This video is episode 13 from the series The Real History of Secret Societies, presented by Richard B. Spence.
