How to build a Blockwork panel Freehand

[@ChangingCrisis]

I qualified as a bricklayer in 2009 but unfortunately left the industry shortly after and never got back into it but this video probably taught me more than what any other bricklayer "taught" me

[@PaulMitchell-d8e]

Why u leave

[@ChangingCrisis]

@@PaulMitchell-d8e recession, couldn't get work

[@padraigharrison6919]

Ill be qualified before end of the year and I already consider myself retired. Housing crisis world wide understaffed industry. I’ve never encountered a decent human on the trowel there all horrible lowlifes in Ireland anyway

[@ChangingCrisis]

@@padraigharrison6919 it's draining but you just have to stick with it as it can be a good industry. Just gotta not let it get to you but it's hard when you're young. Funnily enough I always found the younger lads better to work with and would learn stuff whilst the older guys just wanted to shout abuse at you

[@topnotch3561]

​@@padraigharrison6919I'm waiting for phase 6 you should stick it out go out on your own when your qualified or travel when you have your papers you'll find decent lads to work for or work with or build your own crew be the change that's my 2 cents if that helps

[@Dipzee]

Been working with a price gang this week, they do 10mm big for opening sizes and lintel heights just like you said so it always fits in. 👍🏻

[@PeterOgden-h1k]

I'm not a bricklayer Charlie but I love watching you lay bricks absolute poetry in motion you make it look so easy I we know it's not

[@waltertenboske8147]

Always a pleasure to watch your craftsmanschip!

[@PGS_Building_Contractors_LTD]

Great to see you back posting vids Charlie... 👍🏻 whats that trowel your using please mate..?

[@jasonveale8560]

Slip movement ties or SST wall tie for tying in in general ! Always put tie on a mortar bed, easier to lay under gives 10 mm play room! Another tip if you always as a gang but movement applicator ( Jonny ) to the same side every time a movement joint becomes a movement joint ! If alternate weakens the brickwork against subsidence, critical especially timber frames or building over 5 metres

[@alfredpeterwye2924]

Surely apprentices would learn these things at tech !

[@grahamobrienverynicex9804]

You ought to try doing a book on best bricky .

[@eamonmoore6134]

Great video charlie.. i see there is some super brickies on here who didnt read the title.. It clearly stats "how to build a free hand panel".. keep up the good work

[@CharlieCollison]

Exactly!

[@mattybell218]

How does nhbc allow you to Tie a block wall in with a single tie?

[@davidj2448]

Ive learnt a lot from your channel mate. Im only a DIYer but i built my own garden wall and saved myself over a grand in labour costs. Was fucking hard work though. Cherrs

[@tgward313]

ever string or straight edge check across the opening for twist

[@garywheeley5108]

Great work as always Charlie and congrats on winning the super trowel💪👍🏆

Congratulations on hitting the million bro. I just talked about your channel on a podcast I was on. U don't follow any of the "rules" when it comes to shorts. And u still go viral..matter of fact u hitting Mr beast type numbers. Views wise. No captions. No shock factor. Very inspiring for the construction niche here on yt

[@CharlieCollison]

What podcast is that mate

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

@CharlieCollison it was just a small/medium podcast that asked me to speak on yt shorts . I just mentioned how u blew up and hit a million (congrats) no biggy, I just thought it was cool, all your shorts do well

I very much doubt I’ll ever use this information being a carpenter but an excellent informative video. Very clear instruction. Nice one 👍

You will. Methodology, thinking ahead, preparation and check that “950mm” to see if the door frame fits.

[@ernestogonzalez17]

so good

[@MartynJones-y7f]

Why not use a line off the wall the other side of yr door?

[@richardstetson8221]

He just felt like doing it free hand he has videos were he sets a profile and runs a line from the other side of the door or just sets up 2 profiles and runs it all in at the same time

[@topcatcoolio8807]

Yeh he's the king of profiles . Today he's showing freehand

[@johnsutherland6322]

Nice work champ

[@niallw6228]

Congrats on super trowel well deserved.why do you leave wall ties out instead off Tying in to the wall?

[@kevocos]

There is a school of thought that prefers tying in cross wall with ties as its a less rigid connection and will provide some accommodation for cracking.

[@topcatcoolio8807]

Looked liked you enjoyed that. A change of trowel keeps the work interesting. Looks good mortar. But them aerated use to call Thermilite blocks dont half dry up..

[@topcatcoolio8807]

Have to get you and our mate TTBricklayer on the line and a couple of Jars out 😂

[@jasonveale8560]

I actually think this is quicker than putting up a profile , if you have the guile and craftsmanship ! 35 years laying, and I would say for younger gen ( profiles of you can )

Full block on door way end on first course then will be nice full block under lintel

[@aaronhanratty6018]

Whats the lift like on the bon trowel mate any good 👍 keep the good work up

[@brickbybric]

A and d group ltd .has a nice video up trying out a 9 inch Bon keystone forged trowel narrow London . He had good things to say about them . I’m using one at the moment 10 inch narrow London with the soft grip handle ,along with a 10 inch Kraft tools ( owner of w.rose ) narrow London wood handle .

[@aaronhanratty6018]

@brickbybric cheers mate al have a look at it and so does it have a low lift like the w.rose trowel had a 10 inch narrow London that was decent trowel

[@brickbybric]

I find there is a lot of variance on the lifts of the w.rose trowel but if you have a w.rose that you like, it’s probably similar to the lift on the Bon trowels.
