Tried a new pointing technique on a chimney in Boise and the difference was crazy
Honestly, I saw this old timer using a technique called 'tuck pointing' with a special hawk and a 3/8 inch jointer. The chimney looked rough before, but after he finished a 20 foot section, the lines were so clean and sharp. Ngl, I've been using a bag mortar gun for years and never got results like that. Has anyone else switched from a gun to traditional tools for detail work?

That bag gun is basically a caulk tube for bricks, no wonder your lines look like a toddler drew them. My grandpa would have laughed his head off seeing someone try to detail a chimney with one. Some old school methods are just BETTER, no matter how much time they take. Watching a real pro with a jointer is like seeing an artist work.
