Look forwards to seeing more soon. Cheers Olly
@glennveness5 жыл бұрын
Thanks so much Olly. I know it's different, but if you do learn to lay bricks like in my first video, it really is easier. Just remember to keep the mortar and bricks close together with the mortar on the right if you are right handed. Enjoy your apprenticeship buddy, glenn

U reverse what u would do normally. Instead of pulling and wrapping the line around the corner block, u pull it that it comes out the other way. The block will stay on the profile, as if it is "magnetic". Hard to explain, easier shown in practise.
