Have got up to damp course on my 4 x8m outhouse building, has planning etc.

I have a load of old bricks I want to use as a feature internal wall.

how do I do this and tooth into the other block work.

 

Is it going to be a free standing wall? You can just resin in wall ties at either end to the existing walls. Every third or fourth course.

 

If it's just against an existing wall, just build it against it with a bit of a gap for mortar

 

 

Assuming this is just decorative and not structural you can just use something like these.

If they are old bricks that are uneven, start about 20mm away from your blockwork all the way along so the front face is fair finished. Back till the cavity as you go.
