of special adhesive or redi mix or something like that...how come the bricks dont fall?
I LOVE that brick dome idea but wouldnt want it in my bedroom in case of earthquakes for sure. |
I agree Shari,, it was an artist at work,, I dont think this was his first rodeo,, WOW,, I still dont understand how it really goes up without falling
down

The master craftsman works with confidence. Notice how he hacks away sides of the brick to fit the edge?
as with any craft, a thing of beauty to watch....and amazing results!

Santiago .... excellent! I'm passing this down to a few buddies that are into Sand Bag building....this was awesome.
I agree dtbushpilot !
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.
