Blakes External Profiles Set Up

[@markhep]

Nice carnt see those moving they look pretty strong

[@Forest_Ry]

Do you have a pair? If not they are defo worth checking out dude. They are strong, reliable, versatile. You could hang of it dude there that strong once up😂. Like if you don't like the Blake ser on the corner you can always flip it upside down and use it as a normal straight profile, if you know what I mean! 👍👌🇬🇧⚒

Great vid could you use Blake's profile for laying stone

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Absolutely 100% agree , “original and best “ 👌🏼. I’ve had my set since 1987 , got them when I was an apprentice. Still going strong and wouldn’t be without them . I even did a video way back last year . Just one thing I noticed , it looked like you were unscrewing to plumb up . Not preaching here but I always use a decent magnetic boat level to free both hands . Then I make sure the profile is set to lean out away from the wall slightly , then as you are turning the screws to plumb up you are actually tightening everything up , so no need to touch the clamps again . One last thing , the setting tool is quite soft so tuning the screws it knackers up quite quick . What I do is lean on the profile very gently and tighten them by hand . Nice one 👌🏼🧱👍🏼

They defo are pal. I'm the same, never can have enough either. I know what you mean pal, at the time I left my stabila boat level at home 😱 got to the job and was like s#$t 😂. So that was the only tool I had. Thanks for the other tips, obviously you have had them longer than i so i appreciate the tips and respect for giving out a bit of knowledge. I will check your video out. Cheers pal 👍🇬🇧⚒

RJM Bricklaying & Outdoors . I’m not into those new ones that clamp against the brick , inferior imitations in my opinion 😬🧱👍🏼

[@Forest_Ry]

@@SteveAndAlexBuild oh right, so the ones I have are slightly different to your then? The PT profiles are a lower quality profile of the original blake and changed their logo to faithful. There are numerous of imitations. I don't know if you agree with me but i see alot of brickies using a straight profile and using f clamps and "a frame" and say to me "oh you don't need them profiles" as in Blake's, I say well at least I dont have to rush to get the flank up or whatever to take down profile to joint up because it masks the brickwork, I see it as time wasting 👍⚒🇬🇧

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

RJM Bricklaying & Outdoors no I’m on about these new fangled things you mention with the f clamps that as you say need taking down to joint up . Mine are the same as yours but I think they are a bit shorter and they weren’t painted back when I bought them 🧱👍🏼

[@Forest_Ry]

@@SteveAndAlexBuild oh ryt I see pal. I know what you mean now. I have the 8fts and the 6fts, love the 8fts more as you can leave them up till just height 😀👍⚒🇬🇧

[@rodneytrotter8600]

Yeah mate I’m all good thanks I’m in furenteva at the moment on holiday but still watching everyone haha, Yeah it’s coming along now mate have you got anymore big projects after that? And yeah might have to get myself a set be nice for some 8fts and they do look the bollocks

[@Forest_Ry]

Fuerentura or whatever Haha is one my favourite holiday destinations as the climate/weather is perfect, you get the heat but with a nice gentle breeze 👌. I have a few projects already lined up for after the one I am doing atm. Check out Www.blakesbuildingprofiles.co.uk Honestly Mitchell you won't be disappointed. I had these when I was 18 and never looked back. They will save you time and controlled brickwork everytime and you could potentially earn more money. If you get the 8ft there versatile, you can set up them up like normal straights if you turn the clamp/screw end upside down and use normal f clamps to brickwork, which does mask brickwork. Where as if you get the 8fts you can literally leave them up until joist lift. And so on on next lift just leave them up. enjoy the rest of you or holiday mate Take care 👍👌🇬🇧⚒

[@rodneytrotter8600]

Yeah mate you no what I mean and yeah it is lovely mate 1st time here went to Lanzortie and Tenerife last yeah and yeah mate I’m gonna go on website when get home and get myself a set, you got a big week ahead of you?

[@tariqnajib5114]

Nice work mate.can you use the profiles for laying stone

[@Forest_Ry]

Thanks mate. Yes you can, if you are setting them up off brick first. I hope this helps dude 👍⚒🇬🇧

[@tariqnajib5114]

@@Forest_Ry hi can you use external profile for internal corner if you spin around the profile with the flange other way round

[@rodneytrotter8600]

Evening mate hope your good looks like that house is coming along lovely mate How much for a set of Blake’s and what are you getting in the set? I’ve got 4 box set profiles just clamp them to brickwork there good enough but like you say it saves time and you can leave the profiles up at a night time and all pointed up toghther

[@Forest_Ry]

Hi mate i am good thanks. Are you? Thanks have you checked the update video on the project. There around £130 quid depends on what profile you chose I.e 6fts or 8fts.

Never thought about a profile out of wood ? It’s pretty damn easy to set them up and possibilities are endless , you can check my channel here bro to see how we work ✌️

[@Forest_Ry]

I know what you are saying buddy, I have used wood before I could afford the Blake's. I will check your channel out mate, take it easy 👊👍⚒🇬🇧

[@ronniebiggs4026]

Not seen a video for a good month now dude ! Have you won the Lotto? 😂😂😂👍

[@Forest_Ry]

I have been mega busy my friend. And this weather has not helped one bit. How is it where you are? I wish I won the lotto 😂. 👍

[@ronniebiggs4026]

Yup I think everyone is busy at the moment .Just dug a foundation ( nice sand ) for a large bay single storey extension ( single storey ) just trying to work out if it’s cheaper to take the bricks for cut and bond or hire a table saw and do them myself but either way no big deal .....Unless the Euro comes in on Friday night that is 🤔🤪😥
