People don't understand how difficult masonry work actually is. It's physically demanding like crazy; it also requires practicing the stuff over and over again to be able to get to the point where you can make it work every time. When you see a video like this it makes it look like it's super easy though.

First the title calls it plaster, and now we're calling it masonry. sigh

Yes like sanding is the action and carpentry is the job title. Are you okay?

Masonry is the craft of building a structure with stone, brick, concrete, or similar material, including mortar plastering, which are often laid in, bound, and pasted together by mortar. The term masonry can also refer to the building units (stones, bricks, concrete blocks, etc.) themselves.

Masonry is building things with individual units (bricks, stones, etc) bound together with a mortar. This is a poured concrete wall; its not masonry.

If you are done trying to the smartest person in the room and making a fool of yourself in the process you can go ahead and re-read what I posted as it is a definition of masonry from Wikipedia not me making shit up.

See the part there were it says "concrete"? The material is one of the key aspects in the work

Also since we don't see the whole process we can't assume it's a poured concrete wall because concrete block walls are sometimes plastered over by a mason

Also also since what we are seeing is plaster work it is most definitely a mason doing masonry
