Building block corner (tutorial) | The skill of bricklaying.

[@JohnHarris-ri4ev]

Watching you do this is amazing, I’m building a garage myself at home, never laid a brick in my life but I’m giving it a go to save myself thousands! Thanks for the great video

[@brandoncattermole9403]

This is a good tutorial on blockwork

[@brickbybric]

Nice tidy bricklayer. I have always liked a ten inch trowel as a starting point and when they wear a bit I like them better. I would if I was you start breaking in a new trowel now. I’d use it on the running in and it will break in nicely.

[@kevocos]

Neat for sure but I would query if your perps are filled as you are somewhat just buttering the edges. I would butter the perps on the laid block and not in the hand. Perhaps a 12" trowel for blockwork!

[@lazenbytim]

yup 12" Marshalltown all day long!

[@1603mingers]

Nice and neat, why don’t you build two full blocks on the corner then on the next course up cut a 100mm of a block and the 340mm block you have left over starts on your corner and the 100mm bit goes next to it hence only one cut every other course?!

[@paoemantega8793]

Nice vid, thanks for sharing

[@jimjam1934]

Nice and tidy, good skills

[@hotpoker4212]

Love your style, very tasty work, great feel for d trowel, brickie from the emerald Isle

[@daiburt1833]

I used to pick them up with one hand . Just had a second new shoulder marvelous it is 😂😂

[@garethdavies6401]

Tidy, make sure to full fill those perps, don’t leave the joints hungry. max six high courses before backing up. Nice to see chief

[@ryank8385]

Nice to see some clean block work 👍

[@kebabtank]

I used to hit my level with a club hammer. Now I work in McDonalds. True story.

[@maciejwronaki4550]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@tomthumb1769]

Put two blocks together then for the next course you cut 100mm off a block and you use both the three quarter and 100mm piece on the same course. No waste and less cutting 👍

[@AChocolateMiniroll]

Fun thing about working on a taylor wimpey site is that you have to back the blockwork up with brickwork at 5 courses.... cant go higher without backing it up!

[@ronniebiggs4026]

7 course of block ..Naughty boy 😂😂😂😂💪 Nice use of the help the heroes bracelet though.

[@r3333-j1h]

I hit the level dont worry about it.

[@stevendouglas3860]

It's always satisfying seeing a good trademan (neat & tidy ) . Question : can you put a damp course under the engineering bricks /topping bricks .? ? I have a 6 ft wall and want to save it ...if I take the top 2 brick levels off replace and put a damp course under it ...to protect the older wall ..??

[@GingerDust69]

I think engineering bricks work as a damp. You can put a damp course down to be safe

[@stevendouglas3860]

@@GingerDust69 thanks G.Dust. ...more vids plz of site work

[@Frenchwine15]

I always do internal block work first as well up to window cill height usually 4 or 5 courses in like you though I do quarter three quarter bond as in the corner you can only bond the thickness of a block. I sometimes end up with what is known as Brook bond as blocks that are to be rendered will never been seen and I was always taught to use all usable material. Bedding a DPC seems to be something done only in the south of England and as long as the frogs in any brickwork are filled I don't understand why it is done. Please educate me? It has been explained to me about the pointing of internal block work but if I miss any joints I check front and back and fill in any defect joints using a pointing trowel. Each to there own I guess but apart from you hitting the level the work looks as it should level, plumb and straight well done.

[@irishmike44]

Are those brezze blocks thermal lightweight

[@calebsilver6758]

I've noticed this with a lot of UK masons. Do you not double butter your units? Please explain. No criticism, only curiosity. Its common practice in USA to double butter. Especially block. (I'm a new apprentice, so again, just curious)

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Big up to all the level tappers out there 🤘🏽.......Personally I would never do that 😏😂😂

[@GingerDust69]

That level tapping was for you guys haha

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Ginger Dust 🧱👍🏽

[@brickbybric]

Bricklaying With Steve and Alex he barely tipped it Steve you’ll have to have him up for a few lessons show him how it’s really done 👍😀😀😀

[@stevendunn5430]

Why you lyin for

[@joevassallo2951]

What is the 100mm cut block for on the corners? Maybe i missed something? Thanks

[@mikejames663]

To maintain the bond, ie, the block on the next course is automatically half bond to those below.

[@lincolnjones552]

Enjoyable vid. Thank you Darth Vader.

[@AChocolateMiniroll]

Same level as me, same marshaltown as me... What go pro do you use? i was thinking of doing a similar thing for the youtubes!

[@patrickjay6434]

What blocks are those please?

[@MrOitoyboy]

Wall ties every course on the reveals! Come on now 😂

[@DanielHernandez-jx9gr]

Not one mason has ever told me to bash my level

That is literally ALL i was taught in my lvl 2

I notice no string ?

Why haven’t u been uploading matey

[@GingerDust69]

Just uploaded for you matey

[@stuartcraigon2003]

Insulated cavity! As soon as it rains the interior will become damp! Cavities should never be insulated.

[@paulos9304]

Cavities should never be insulated. How do you work that one out. What about cavity wall insulation. Wall slabs and all the other methods used. mind you I did wonder why fibre glass insulation, that's what it looks like anyway

[@евгенийБелозеров-ж9ы]

👍😎

[@carrot3945]

Why is it that you joint your block work? Isn't it going to be rendered?

[@michaelamos4651]

Blockwork should always be jointed up. Fills holes in and compresses joint. Looks professional too

[@carrot3945]

@@michaelamos4651 You should be able to build it without leaving any holes! compressing the motar with the weight of the block is more than sufficient. And it's a waste of time that could be spent laying. Im not taking away from this man's work however, it looks great. Good job!

[@GingerDust69]

I’m on day rate haha 😂. Thanks for the input.

[@carrot3945]

@@GingerDust69 ah fair enough lol good work!

[@anthonymclean9743]

All new builds have to have a pressure test that's why everything as to be jointed so even when no test is required i.e. extension, it's still good practice. .

[@daiburt1833]

I bent my level so it comes back 😂😂😂😂

[@K008DXR]

WHATS WITH MEASURING THE BOLTSTER.I'VE CHUCKED BIGGER TROWELS AWAY!!!!!

[@dorrisgonnawreckyou7111]

shut up you filthy slagggggg

[@ozzyefc44]

He’s showing people that it’s 100 mill and how to do a 100 mill cut with it without using a tape measure 🤦‍♂️

[@westsawake1]

You should never ever hit the level !!!! It knocks it out of true!! Whoever taught you that wants shooting !!!!

[@GingerDust69]

I did it as a joke I’m so sorry

[@stevendunn5430]

Why you lyin for

[@westsawake1]

Steven Dunn spectacular grammar I do not lie I suggest you learn to speak English 1 st instead of critiscing people who know about bricklaying ok !!!!

[@kebabtank]

Would you like fries with that?

[@riderzinc]

If you turn it over and hit it the same amount of times it goes back true

No worry

How slow

[@christopherwright1100]

Stu Crompton doesn't bed his damp and he's "Best brickie".😂😂😂👎👎

[@kevocos]

Sometimes he doesn't even bother with damp!

[@stevendunn5430]

Stu crompton does bed his damp. Seen it many a time. Clearly dont watch all his vids

[@christopherwright1100]

Watched enough where he doesn't to know that it's not something he does as a rule which in my book is bad practice. He doesn't even fill in the bed above the brick he's laying when toothing in. Just strikes it in with his brick jointer.

[@brickbybric]

Steven Dunn have you seen the videos that show him build the outer leaf brick work up from the strip foundation and the inner leaf block work is built on the floor . What do you think of that.

[@brickbybric]
