Wow I was looking at the trowel u are using and my brother who is a bricky used that trowel I think his was a whs Canadian pattern trowel with leather bands and a metal ferrel at the end he was awarded silver trowel at college City and guilds of London Unfortunately he no longer lay bricks sadly he had complication during heart surgery which left him paralysed in a wheelchair when he was in his 50s A great man a great bricklayer I loved working with my big brother he's 70 now but what a tradesman he was traditional as u are love watching video mate carry on

putting a pig init means you have missed a course of bricks from one end to the other( at some point didn't put the line up). what you did was take a datum when one end was half built? levels should be sorted at oversite, you either go metric and ignore existing or go to existing and risk shit looking brickwork? either way internally things need to marry up
