Quoin corner form used in bricklaying

Abstract

A quoin form device and method for constructing a quoin corner and a regular corner on a structure. The quoin form includes a two frames rotatably joined by a central hinge. The frames include parallel proximal and distal members joined by a series of cross-members. Slots are defined between the cross-members to allow egress of mortar during bricklaying. Spacers are attached to the frame, to provide along with the frame, a surface for arranging bricks in a protruding pattern. The frame removably attaches to the structure via a pair of braces and is supported by brackets attached to the bottom of the frame. The regular corner is of a similar configuration but without the spacers so that the brick are flush with an adjoining wall. Furthermore, the method includes use of a twig for quickly running and securing a leveling line to serve as a guide in laying courses of brick.
