[@philliphickin1915]

Very knowledgeable Andy I really enjoy your videos, keep it going my friend

The clips are great mate, I would definitely recommend if you’re in a tight space or if you haven’t got mortar stands!

[@liamwalters5029]

They have been about for years, never actually used one but always thought they were good idea might finally give one a go I think👍

[@craigstyrin3453]

One of my relations had a brick company in Yorkshire making old bricks and pan tiles, he had a book, can’t remember what book called now. Company was called York handmade brick company I think. They had barges that sailed all down the Ouse and I think there was another place in hull that made them. But yeah 100% canals mate, horses would be shafted🤣

[@bricklayersworldwithandy6277]

Thanks Craig, interesting stuff 👍

[@sedulousdabbler5468]

I use the board clamps all the time as most of the scaffolding on our extensions is narrow in places. Dead easy to make, there’s always broken scaffold clips kicking about. I make the board slot about 8” wide and they are solid as a rock.

[@bricklayersworldwithandy6277]

Yes definitely good on narrow scaffolds

Did the brick and trowel companies go out of business in the sixties due to the concrete tower blocks becoming fashionable. They were pre cast and bolted together so no trowels needed. It's just a thought. The canals were used to transport anything heavy, so those bricks possible would have come by barge. Not sure about now but pottery was still being transported by canal in the nineties. Being fragile, water is the best way to move pottery. Good idea for the chop saw, all I would say is don't leave it tied up too long or it will weaken the spring and then may not close properly when you need it to.

[@bricklayersworldwithandy6277]

Interesting about the 60s maybe, i dont know why we dont use canals more for non perishable goods.Yes i only put the cables on when needed then cut them of👍

Canal system was popular immediately they were opened in the potteries as it cut down on breakages during transport

I wonder was it the introduction of marshalltown trowels that sounded the death knell for all the English trowel makers .rollins tools have being distributing marshalltown trowels for 102 years in the uk and Ireland.

[@bricklayersworldwithandy6277]

Never saw them untill early 70s

[@brickbybric]

@@bricklayersworldwithandy6277 that’s what I thought mid 60s early 70s . I sent an email to Marshalltown a while back and a Rollins tools man replied. (My inquiry was passed on to them ) he Said Rollins tools ( who are in business since 1866) have been distributing marshalltown trowels in the uk and Ireland for 102 years . Must have had a slow start.

[@saber5585]

Here in the States Marshalltown trowels were at one time came in a poor second place. Rose was the trowel of choice. In the 80's Marshalltown upped their game and came out with not just a higher quality trowel than before but the "soft handle" with the "bumper" on it for about $25-$30 American. The Rose trowels about the same price for the one's with the wooden handle, they also made them with a hard plastic handle, red and orange colored, then there was the leather handle and that was like $45. I've used the Marshalltown for close to 40 years now and I find the 11 1/2 inch #33 the trowel for me. Now $40 or better.

[@bricklayersworldwithandy6277]

@@saber5585 Most use Marshaltown in the UK but Rose are also popular but we only seem to get the low lift Rose over here, old vintage British trowels made from Sheffield steel also have a following.

Yes it was, I've seen the clip on KZbin, he obviously didn't patent it.

[@brickbybric]

@@bricklayersworldwithandy6277the thing about patents is andy it’s great to have them but you have to have the bobs to defend your patent in court if somebody uses your idea . Just look at all the bt tools type gear that’s on the market

[@tombrehony6277]

It might have happened when the long cold winter of 62/63 occured. Only guessing.

[@bricklayersworldwithandy6277]

Yes maybe, also there was a general lack of reinvestment throughout all industries so we were lagging behind with technology also the unions were hindering process. Ive been having a bit of a read up.
