Sand is crap. 1/4-0 limestone, or decomposed granite if you can get it. Compact every 1/2", until you have a 4" base.

Good base (Crushed limestone or granite) (may omit in lighlty traveled area, but may cause bricks to shift over time)
Edge restraint (I used steel garden edge, worked great)
Sand (screeded flat)
place bricks
sweep washed sislica sand in joints
vibrate jonts to lock in place (i used a dead blow hammer with a flat 2x4)
repeat sand fill until joints are full
rinse with hose for final wash-down
