The Fastest Trowel on the Block Competition, hosted by the Mason Contractors Association of America, is a showcase of industry craftsmanship and a testament of both the speed and skill of our industry's workforce. Only those journeymen masons who have the skill, confidence and courage to face-off with the industry's best are invited to compete. This is a contest that also proves how important teamwork is in accomplishing a final product.

The competition pits journeyman masons, accompanied by their two favorite tenders, against one another in a show of both speed and craftsmanship. Each contestant's goal is to complete as much of an 18 block long wall as possible, using 8"x8"x16" CMU and the provided mortar in a twenty-minute heat. Contestants must have a high degree of workmanship using normal masonry practices and hand tools.

  • @MathEtPhysics I hate to burst your bubble, but masonry is no longer about being pretty but Profits...

  • man i should have been there with my older bro. we would have kicked ass..

  • These men are real artists..seriously

  • @MathEtPhysics its supposed to be a speed competition. its not gonna be pretty 100%

  • My uncle has been doing this for over 40 years. The way that these guys do it is terrible. The joints aren't going to be plum and even the way they lay the block. Why don't they just lay one coarse at a time, so that their work is worth looking at... and maybe it'll last longer than two years.

  • KIDS OUT AT VO-TECH DO THIS FASTER
