you wouldn't want to play him at the kids game of coordination called "twiddle d winks" or something like that

guess they are to be rendered: imagine the chips in edges & cracks.

That was my first thought. Nowadays I cannot work for any significant period with a bent back.

I know what you mean, my body is perfectly happy with coping a squat on my haunches but is I remain in that position for a period of time I need a chin hoist hooked to a belt loop to help me stand up again.

Looks like he also has to stack the bricks, there is no one else around except the cameraman.

Yes, and for all we know he may have spread and leveled the sand base as well then once he has lain all the bricks will have to sweep sand into the seams.
The casual pedestrian will never fully appreciate the amount of hard work is involved in brick or cobble paving.
There are many places around the world where the whole citadel of a city is a focal point for the residents, where the paving's are more a work of art than simply a surface to walk on with subtle patterns laid in.
