Abstract: A method and apparatus for assembling modular tooled masonry structures, the method coprising the steps of: providing a pre-fabricated wire support structure having a shape generally corresponding to the shape of the completed masonry structure; assembling a first row of bricks in a predetermined pattern onto the support structure using the support structure as a support and spacing guide for the bricks; masking selected areas of the bricks by partially surrounding the bricks with an open top removably mortar molding form; applying a pre-determined quantity of mortar into the mortar molding form covering accessible unmasked areas of the bricks with a pre-determined thickness of mortar; leveling the mortar; allowing the mortar to partially set; removing the mortar molding form from the bricks thereby revealing a tooled row of bricks; and repeating the above steps to provide additional tooled rows of bricks as needed to complete the masonry structure.

Abstract: A masonry structure is made by setting up a prefabricated wire support structure having the shape of the structure to be made, assembling a first row of bricks on the lowermost horizontal section thereof, masking a plurality of brick of that row with an open top removable mortar molding form which is placed around a plurality of bricks and covering the tops of the bricks by filling the form with mortar and leveling it to provide a mortar filling layer between adjacent bricks of the run and a continuous mortar layer above the bricks.
