How to build a house freehand Ep.1

[@johntenhave1]

Another masterclass in action. You are a great teacher, with the patience of a saint. Thanks. Charlie.

[@barringtonsmythe3464]

I hope Amy and Liam realise how fortunate they are to have Charlie showing them the ropes. Quality brickie to learn from 👍👍👍

[@robetheridge6999]

It is good to hear that he doesn’t talk down to them at all.

As long as Charlie doesn't note their fingers....

I'll tell you one thing Charlie, When I get to that point in my life where I can afford to build my own home... I'd deffo want a guy like you to be working on my home... pure dedication and pride in your work... is what makes ALL the difference between a quality builder and a cow boy builder! Good stuff mate!

[@Michael-no6jw]

But without Amy.I wouldn't want her building my home.she's not to smart.sorry.

[@Michael-no6jw]

Only if he rehires Harry.👍

[@Michael-no6jw]

Charlie will be retired by than most likely, lol.

[@buzzlad007]

Don't you just love 3/4 half reveals!!! If I was an architect make everything work full or half brick, I never understood why they don't?? Great videos 👍👍

[@MrFlynnytwo]

Absolutely brilliant tutorial, Charlie. Loads of knowledge that can only be obtained through experience and given freely to all. You are a credit to your trade and a patient tutor 👍

[@billthebillder2337]

I love how polite, you and Amy are while working and being together so many hours of the day..

[@topcatcoolio8807]

Anyone think Bricklaying is easy, watch this ! There's so much to know. Charlie showing much patience. Talking to two learners as well as the Labourers... I know because I've done all this too. Takes more than a fit man. Brains too God bless you all

[@nelg1973]

Taught them well on camera & tips for other youngsters, results after a few weeks, speaks for itself. You & your apprentice gang should be proud .

[@darrennewcombe7841]

me and my lifelong buddy are now business partners running our own little decor & property maintenance business. i'm a decorator by trade and he's a plasterer who also provides damp proofing services. between us we do dpc work, reinstating / plastering / basic joinery, skirts etc then re decorate. such a refreshing watch charlie to see a different trade at work. fascinates me what you and your crew do. big respect to you all.

[@delscorey8727]

Brilliant, your a Saint Charlie, well done to Amy aswell, and Harry, Liam, really enjoyed that

[@marks-0-0]

As a non bricky it's really cool to get an understanding of how important gauging bricks is. I assumed bricks were mostly laid by eye and then matched each course above. Thanks

[@harveysmith100]

Charlie, I salute your patients with the young trowels. Lovely to see a corner being built, I feel a lot of the skill is being lost because people aren't made to build corners anymore. As for the frames not matching the brickwork, we have been complaining about that for over forty years to my knowledge. You would think with computers they could have worked it out by now.

[@Michael-no6jw]

Amy's a handful, always needing assistance with something. She's chosen the wrong profession.

[@callumpartridge3030]

Love the long videos Charlie, nice to see everyone working as a team👍🏻

[@sportsglobal9527]

Is passion and enthusiasm just comes across so naturally, plus the way he demonstrates everything to his colleagues in such an easy to understand way is so nice to see, don't know the first thing about bricklaying so couldn't comment on his skills on a professional level, but looks good to me.

[@zephyr1408]

I was a trainer for a long time Charlie! I know a good one when I watch one? Your a good one! All the right traits ; which are rare! Ppl need ppl to help them! Good job Brother all the way from California USA !

[@pro-reach]

There’s a lifetime of knowledge and experience in these vids. Top bloke

[@KurtMGibbs]

Amy and Liam's work looks good. It seems like they are improving quickly.

[@galdessa1]

Too many holes when laying as Charlie pointed out. Save time when pointing later.

[@tommodobbo3475]

@@galdessa1 yeah mate they need to concentrate on getting the bed right

[@JohnSmith-ee7gf]

Teamwork making the dream work. You are very supportive and respectful in the way you speak to the guys. Very gracious to show their finished work too. The first person/ headcam perspective and commentary works for me. Makes me feel you're teaching me directly. With these epic sessions, I'm gonna cancel my Sky subscription! Keep it up please.

[@tommodobbo3475]

And cancel your TV licence mate

[@Michael-no6jw]

Actually only 2 guys,(Liam,Harry)And one want to be Bricklayer.

[@petereyre5188]

Charlie you are a legend and so patient with everyone. Your brain must be everywhere!!! 👏👏👏

[@dantolo817]

Good video Charlie enjoyed it and I’m a Bricki with 35 years experience good work and good teaching

[@Brickyclips86]

Class video Charlie...Loving the commentary in these vids lots of knowledge and going through the little bits helps a lot to somebody like me still learning

[@skaterguy52]

Liam and Amy’s brickwork looks spot on. I can see she just lacking abit of confidence at the moment but she will do great. 👍🏻

[@johnbuist5289]

Great Video Charlie running through everything you need to be a decent bricklayer! Top work

[@UndisputedRoofer]

My grandfather was a mason for 60 years and he taught me to hit the level he was good.layed brick/block until he was over 70 because he was to stubborn to quit.

[@gazzabowers1184]

You have the patience of a saint, and I don't mean because there doing wrong all the time just you have to keep start and stopping and can't get stuck in yourself.. Stay safe and stay strong... Gazza

[@TenkYT]

Im at a trade school right now, about to graduate my senior year soon. Can't wait to use my masonry skills to use and get a apprenticeship!

[@nickray3259]

Charlie, your a credit to the industry...keep up the good work mate 👍🏻

[@7kelevra]

I made my own trowel mate ... got some Perspex and cut it to the same shape as my trowel, got some ct1 and glued a magnet onto the back then drilled a hole and cable tied a belt loop ... not the best but will do until the real thing is back in stock

[@galdessa1]

17:44 is so sweet, Amy saying thank you, Charlie saying your welcome. Its love.

[@fireblaster9961]

One for Amy, my gaffer used to say when I started out “were not building a piano but it’s got to be right”🔥🔫

[@lukagiltrap77]

Amy and Liam's work was very tidy - fair play!

[@tommodobbo3475]

Loads of holes though, they need to concentrate on getting the bed right

[@leedrummond164]

Nice to see you have time for the youngsters. Thats the way to make a proper firm. A lot of people that are good act almost selfish these days, showing off but not wanting to pass on their experience.

[@bladwin321]

I know nothing about brick laying .but i just found your videos and its allot of fun to watch. Your a good teacher

[@bigdave6002]

Top brickwork nice one Charlie and amy is getting better👍🏻👍🏻

[@Michael-no6jw]

Harry really resembles a true Brit.he's a Big husky dude that I can picture in a pub slamming down pitchers with the mates,playing Darts or Shuffle board getting hammered, letting Gas go,lol.👍

[@nomenome4747]

I really enjoy watching your videos. It’s very clear how knowledgable and passionate you are about what you do and you make a great teacher

[@brad265]

Charlie you are a great patient teacher. If you lay one lay it right.

[@trucker5722]

Amy looks like she’s picking the job up very well. Nice to see you taking the time to explain things probably to the young uns

[@Michael-no6jw]

Here's a little Tid Bit for you Charlie. After using the saw,take a nice swig of water. It'll wash away the dust from your throat and prevent soreness. Try it,it really does work.also wear a mask when making cuts.

[@cathal749]

Power to ya man. Ya have the patients of a saint

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Nice bit of traditional there Charlie 😉👍🏼🧱

[@tommodobbo3475]

Must be losing alot of money though, why is he doing it this way? To help the apprentices learn the basics?

[@mikkelraakjaer]

@@tommodobbo3475 well he does it for the video too, and to show how it can be done! Not everything is about money, its nice to see something different :P

[@discomonkey3492]

Found myself stirring my spam bol last night, just like Charlie does with his trowel mixing the muck 😆

[@Michael-no6jw]

Harry Reminds me of a former pro wrestler named Oliphant Sincannon who went by the wrestling name " Crusher Blackwell". He was from Stone Mountain Georgia. He looked just like Harry and had a similar body type build,lol.👍😊👌

[@russb8959]

Fair play to you Charlie, ive been following your vids for a while and youre one top trowel

[@James-hd2kf]

[@gilespanton9354]

Mate your technique and skill is a cut above the rest including mine love the vids

[@leeberry9666]

Nice job Charlie.

[@Michael-no6jw]

Charlie can be a morale killer because every single time he comes over to check someone's work its never, ever right.I've never seen him say,oh wow,perfect, great job,keep it up....when you get corrected time and time again it totally kills morale.

[@ruffrider5100]

But if you want the people you’re teaching to progress, and do the work to a good standard, you can’t let below par work slide. He doesn’t correct in a demeaning way, he just states what it should be like.

[@rjacko7478]

Crews looking good 👍

[@neilsmart78]

Amy and Liam done well on that brickwork 👌🏻

[@jonmcgill533]

Fantastic video, so envious of your gang wish I could have worked under you. Top Bloke👍

Hi Charlie - Can you put a Video of setting profiles up for Blocks laid flat wall so 215mm, if you have a good way with the bt clamps mate to catch a line both sides.

[@sparkiegaz3613]

Wondering weather any of the other bricklayers are going to college to learn or just picking it up as they go along,,great to see the girl getting stuck in shame not more women go into brickwork..

🌀Does the bone dry block not flash dry the mortar, and turn it to powder ? We always kept the work wet, all day, and saturated it before leaving for the day.

[@TripleZmediA]

question: what is the importance of cleaning the snots? is there a negative effect on the wall if you dont get em? Really enjoy this videos thank you recording them!

Ties every course on a friggin corner ! For god sake it’s the strongest part of a building. Utter dog shit that rule. Entry level shit.

[@tommodobbo3475]

💯 makes no sense

[@Michael-no6jw]

You should have let Liam and Amy do the bricklaying around the window frames and door frames,see how well they do?

[@Michael-no6jw]

Instead of laying 2 on your muck board to avoid splashing muck on finished brick work just stand an unused muck board up against the finished work on your muck table.that'd work much better mate.

[@Michael-no6jw]

Not to sound like a Debbie Downer but Mike Tranquillo started the Ball Rolling!☝😝
