Wow. Seriously, how did he do that? The finished result looks like the block was laid after the unit was put in!

i bet he played a lot of tetris in his day.

we wish it was that way. You basically start from the high points. Scribe those, set back 1/4” and do it againuntil theres no gaps. The fillers were literally 10” wide when we started. I got more pics of that job comming later today.

The base was actuall hard becaus it was solid. the filler was mdf so it made it a little easier on us. Luckily for me I got to install the reception desk that day. We get this kind of work all the time, maybe not this extreme but pretty hairy.
IMO the bricks should have been laid after. That would have been cheaper all around. But we know how those architectual folks are. Hey, pay us we’ll do it.

I wonder if you could have used some clay on a backer with a protective sheet or something, then transfer that pattern a little at a time….

Either way, that’s a crazy cut…..

I get 4×8 pcs of cardboard from the lumber supplier that they use as cover sheets and use them, there nice and flat. There’s another product that works good for paterns and templates also, it’s called “Ramboard” It’s used to protect floors during construction, it’s about 1/16” thick x 38” wide and comes on a 100’ roll.
Whatever the process the final product is what’s important and you nailed it.

Impressive! Excellent work.

Tough job. It might have been easier to grind a 3/4” wide groove in the protruding masonry and slide the spacer board into it. (-;

Really nice work on a tough job. 4 hours? I could do that for 4 days and not have it look that good.

Those are definitely a challenge. It looks like he did a nice job.
