Bricklaying P.o.v

[@emayer1000]

I’m a 65 yr old bricklayer from Vancouver Canada. I retire when I was 61 because had to have knee replacement surgery. Love watching the young mens brikie videos. Keep them coming.

[@judgiethebudgie]

This felt like one of the original videos from back in the day. Great to see the POV back. None of the timelapses. Nice just to be able to sit, watch and learn. Thanks Charlie for all your uploads. I'm sure it can't be enjoyable some days to have to chuck out a video after a day's work. It's very much appreciated though. Thanks a million!

[@garycooper227]

Charlie im a carpenter I had a accident and fell off a roof and broke my back watching you helps me get though the day keep up the good work

[@stephenross1581]

Try and keep up the positive thoughts Gary, I’m something similar and can not really work anymore, at first I sat feeling sorry for myself, that caused major depression, it went from bad to worse, the more I sat about the unfitter I got the more I got depressed, Once I admit I had a problem things started to get better, it took years but I’m still here, happy and with a loving family, I wish you the best Gary and like you think Charlie is great therapy, keep smiling buddy 🤞🤞🤞

[@westham9208]

Keep going mate 👍

[@willbee6785]

Fight back for yourself, your the only one that can do it. Many years back. I fell about 18 feet onto the concrete slab. It hurt badly, but was lucky if I can say that. I’m eternally grateful to Paddy who bent down the high tensile concrete starting bars that I fell upon. All my PPE were damaged or broken. If I can do it, you can. 🔨🪚💪🏻👍

[@Madmancrock]

Ex Hod Carrier here.... Ibstock bricks HAVE to be mixed.... When your bucket boy bumps out make him mix 3 packs at a time or you end up with face work that looks shit and patchy...

[@stevesavage1712]

im done with this work retired,lisening to the trowel and all the other sounds is really relaxing to me keep on rockin, amy your unreal,keep plugging away things get easier in time,from winnipeg ,canada ok eh! mate

[@FreerSelf]

I've been doing that bumping line in 20mil using thickness of line block on profiles for 25years my friend... taught many blokes amazing little bit helps Charlie's already efficient craft... carry on!

[@JackGashRawandUncut]

Lovely wildlife in the background. Wicked video mate always a good watch and feels realistic to the trade 👍

[@PavanaBuild]

Same thing I do on quoin corners with a 10mm overhand, sellotape 5 slip ties together, one for each foot of the profile so it’s set off the brickwork 10mm. Then put a weep hole either side of the line runner to push it back true with the existing face work, then simply pop the weeps out at the end of each run

[@robbieroche6779]

great idea with the fits brick 20 ml spacer now just get some 20 mil and odd sizes in magnetic form then u dont loose it or them 🤘🤘🤘

Cheers mate

[@richardfitzgerald4812]

I would love to take the praise for that trick but I can't my old Man showed me that many years ago. This is what it's all about sharing knowledge with other. Bricklayers hopefully making each others lives easier and earning a few more quid on the way.

Hi Richard and Charlie. When are the Blake dori going to be available,?

[@richardfitzgerald4812]

@@grahamebennett2620 Hello Grahame they are being manufactured. Because I will only produce them in Factory's in the uk unfortunately because of materials shortages I can't give a precise date all I can say is as soon as the Factory's recieve the materials I will have them.

i personaly like the step in out on garden walls but i feel they gather algy and water stains far to quick for todays weather great work laying them mate but not my first choice i pick clean brick work over algy catchers any day but your just following the plans i know

[@martineleven8179]

That's livin alright.

[@fergusmckee]

Do you put insulation in cavities, I see some with some without and how can you get it in when there’s brick ties?

[@sen5908]

Charlie have all semi detached got cavity walls between the houses now , if so is that for noise between the propertys , ours is solid 9" and it's terrible

[@chriss9767]

Use a 20mm packer then it will be exact. I watched your first video, to answer your question from the first video but never comment. Great channel

[@dazdavies581]

Charlie my brother I saw the new trowel holder last night looks good for the last 20 years of my career I was employed as a trouble shooter plus problem sorter out on sites let's run this by you get some 4 inch damp buy a magnet enclose the magnet in a pocket of dpc get a cheap tape measure take off the belt clip fix it to the doc and bobs your uncle love to your family daz ex brickie

[@mattalford389]

The 20mm bit of wood for corbelling is an old trick, very handy. Makes life easy doesn't it?

[@josephlakin6807]

How come you don’t use a marshalltown trowel is it so you can cut your bricks with the trowel ?

[@martinpower6254]

Stop slacking Harry 😂😂😂😂

[@avemariaonelectricguitar]

It's more efficient to cut the number of size bricks you need once. Also works better.

[@ezaruljalil1762]

What happens to the cement that comes out from the inside?

[@jaimewilson1011]

[@markknott6477]

It’s the little things in life that we appreciate more, ie that 20mm bit of wood on them profiles really saved the hassle of resetting it. Fair play Richard for giving you the heads up 👍. Anyway another therapeutic laying of the bricks like the rain 👍👍😄

Hiya Charlie do you think brickwork level 3 is worth it I finished level 2 last year and I’ve just started back to college for level 3. Got a lot to learn from site so I can do it by my self go college one a week any idea should I go or shouldn’t I thank you

[@wumpty93]

Nope. Waste of time, unless you plan to go into site management. Otherwise fuck that off and stick with your level 2

Lol every so called "bricklayer" lays frogs down in Ireland most would not be able to do frogs up it really pisses me off. Did a job with corbles like this 3 brick piers as coins. It corbled more than this we had to use lats with wedges under each one. That ment those under bricks and upper bricks were filled because they had holes. Was a crazy job have a video of it must post it up. Pistols over every window with hidden concrete heads. Elliptical bulls eye.
