[@DeanW-1990]

Great video bro ! So tidy and neat 👊

[@paulgumbley4868]

Respect from an old timer,👊👍

[@mmmbbop9351]

What a fantastic tip. Tried my hand at bricklaying, I wasn't bad but I wasn't great and this was one thing I always bloody struggled with

[@mattcartwright8272]

Tidy work - good to see a young tradie taking pride in doing the job to a high standard. 👍

[@JDNBrickwork]

Thanks Matt 🙌

Just learnt this tip last week. TOP TIP for improvers like myself. Thanks for sharing. Improvers DO NOT GIVE UP!!!!

will looking at all walls now ..brilliant video

[@JDNBrickwork]

Keep an eye out for those perps! 👀

[@Lanxta74]

Stand face on to the wall instead of side on and you can eye you’re perps down easily. I don’t understand why but lots of bricklayers struggle to lay face on

[@JDNBrickwork]

Good point - but I find standing sideways creates minimal twisting and turning. Everything seems to be in the right place and flow a lot easier Plus using the thumb trick takes care of the perps 😎👍

[@samhartfieldlewis5247]

I go side on if cant look down and eye the perp nicely, then face when that bit higher up. Also sometimes lay one near the centre and run into that either side. But I work on my own, not on big sites so don’t need to be super fast or stress much. Happy ticking along, nice one go steady

[@mae2284]

Side on helps to see if face of brick is straight.

Cheers next tip. How to stop your bricks grinning or frowning please.

We’ll see what we can do 😁🧱😩🧱😁🧱😩

[@pauldutton6552]

How do u do that with different size brick .love these clever knobs

[@charliehumber6383]

Nice job. Neat work 👌

[@JDNBrickwork]

Thank you 🙏

[@handle1196]

What do you do when a window opening isn't a full of half brick away from an external corner? I have some plans where the face brick opening is 1250mm from the outside corner, which is doesnt work out for 215 x 102.5 x 65mm brick? Its 1250mm to keep the window opening centralised to the room from the inside.

[@matthewspry4217]

Remember to feed your bricky beer and cement to keep them content

That brickwork is tidy as owt

Thank you Samuel 👊

[@morlife0273]

Can somebody please tell me how you get paid a day and a week for this job bricklayer ?

[@bradb5044]

One over two!

[@gittejakobsen177]

when laying a brick, do you look to the left or the right end of the brick/perp?

[@JDNBrickwork]

Neither. As explained in the video I look at the perp directly below the course I’m laying with my thumb in the centre of my brick lining up with the centre of the perp below. This way it’s impossible to have wandering peeps Hope this helps 🙏

[@coljohnson1981]

1:06 perps out of line great example 😂😂

[@JDNBrickwork]

It does look like that in parts because of the go pro. Check out 04:21 to see the finished example on a normal camera 👍

[@coljohnson1981]

Yea indeed mate spot on 👍👍

[@wayneurch5545]

Good tip m8 sweet

[@JDNBrickwork]

Thanks Wayne 👍

[@ryc650]

Great advice, very helpful. But what about when you got frogs in the bricks 🙃 it’s harder to find middle of the brick

[@danielcolton3632]

Could always just plumb the perps if it's hard to find the middle every 4 to 8 bricks etc

[@ryc650]

👍🏻👍🏻 drifting is easily done so thank you

[@danielcolton3632]

My perps normally go everywhere so I just plumb every so often lol

[@JDNBrickwork]

Thanks mate. It Becomes a conscious effort. Holes or no holes it’s pretty easy to stick your thumb in the middle of the brick 👍

[@graffitiskate1000]

I literally just make the same size joint of the other joint that your trying to line it up with

[@andell1272]

What tool is that used at 2:03 to split the block in half?

[@marco.r07]

Brick hammer

[@dciburnsidesniffsniff6119]

Looks like ya bricks leaning forward to the line !! In other words back of the brick looks higher then the line geez ?

[@JDNBrickwork]

Looks can be deceiving burnside

[@dciburnsidesniffsniff6119]

Should have said your work is very tidy mate ! Did they tip a little or was it the camera angle I’m not out to have a pop ! As I say very tidy bud

[@elliottbates62]

How do you make sure the brick is square and not tipping back or forward?

[@JDNBrickwork]

Use a boat level every couple of bricks to begin with. Once you get a feel for it you know straight away if you’ve walled a square brick! 🤗

[@mae2284]

Will try this although my bricks are tilting rarely now. When they all touch the level it is BLISS😊

[@fritzdrybeam]

Next video, how not to smear brickwork?

[@malcolmhaynes1424]

Why don't you also video cleaning the snots off the back of the wall every course? Also the perp joints won't be out of line on a bit of a brick panel like that !!!! Bricks vary in length sometimes so the labourer should get the bricks out of several packs! And yes I am a brickie

[@JDNBrickwork]

Something we’ve took keen notice of lately is snots on the back of our work ☑️ As for banding - much easier said than done. Labourers job is intense enough without having 3 packs of bricks alternating their way to the loading bay

[@g.rajkumar8770]

[@Toni-1970-c8o]

Easy until you get different sizes bricks

[@JDNBrickwork]

I agree. I feel this tip does help with that problem though, give it a try and let me know what you think 🤗

[@jeztickles4361]

2:32 those beds are all over the place… thickness varies dramatically

[@JDNBrickwork]

Think that’s an optical illusion mate. The brick type causes shadows and go pro probably hasn’t done it many favours Thanks for watching still! 👍

[@martinthorogood6223]

Doesnt matter where ya thumb is just use your eyes.ffs

[@regiondeltas]

Question from an absolute amateur - how much pressure are you putting on to get your brick down? I find my mortar is either nice and creamy, but needs tapping down - or just too wet and sloppy, I can never get that point quite in between? My bed doesn't look much more than yours, and I don't think I take out any more - so either I'm too weak, or my mix sucks! This is my current effort, but taking me a good while! imgur.com/gallery/DSf6MAc - not easy with rustics!

[@JDNBrickwork]

Nice work mate 👍 keep practicing. You soon get a feel for the brick and it becomes a habit applying just the right amount of pressure to get down to the line with enough excess mortar for your next perp 🤗🧱
