How To Setup Brickwork Profiles

[@jackrussell9811]

ally profile , g clamps and gauge tape

[@Tone_Team]

Im not against all those things but I do think the Blakes Profiles are very good for external corners. Great for garages and if you dont want to do the blockwork first

[@dutchbricklayers]

We always work with profiles. We think all bricklayers in the Netherlands work this way. Greay video ! We wish all bricklayers the best 🔥

[@Tone_Team]

Profiles are always the best 😀 👍🏻 how is work in Holland? Are you guys busy

[@dutchbricklayers]

@@Tone_Team yes we think also. Yes its busy over here at the moment we can always work so thats great. Hopefully it stays like that. 👍

[@Tone_Team]

@@dutchbricklayers good to hear 👍🏻 let’s hope it stays busy

[@dasnomaden]

These old style ones are fun. the fella I trained under had a set of these and there was only me and him that could set them up. There were always frayed tempers when anyone else tried 😂

[@Tone_Team]

Funny you should say that! When I was a foreman it was only me and maybe one other who could do em too 😂

[@robertsullivan2396]

first brackets by blakes had a slight bend on the part that was inserted in the joint so that the pressure was exerted behind the face to help prevent spalling of face. Bought mine in 1973 and never looked back.

[@Tone_Team]

I am a massive fan of Blake’s profiles, I think they are the original and the best

[@russellhopkins3178]

Get yourself a set of fitz brick corner blocks, theyve revolutionised Blake’s profiles 👍

How do you tool the joints ,,,where your bar is.

[@Tone_Team]

I’m not sure what you mean?

[@johnarbanas9091]

@@Tone_Team if your bar is up-right how do you tool the joints ,,,do you take it down at end of your shift

[@Tone_Team]

@@johnarbanas9091 depends, sometimes they are ok over night other times gotta take ‘em down

[@bricky1000]

Still the best profiles you can buy for external corners had mine 23 years use box section everywhere else but for external there the best and you can leave them on at night and finish the pointing if you haven’t finished the wall you are on

[@Tone_Team]

I do like a Blake’s on the external corners to mate

The only thing wrong with that profile was the colour! We're in England how come the profile is grey?

[@Tone_Team]

Like the weather ☔️

Grate job 😁. But proper bricklayer like stonemson, make corners which Not any profilles etc. That's is a art of this work...

[@Tone_Team]

There is a place for profiles and corners 👍🏻

[@mark211178]

The only ones for me same set since 1987

[@Tone_Team]

A great return on investment 👏🏻

[@peterdodsworth7216]

worst thing about them thing if you leave the muck to go hard the hook can shell the brick nightmare to replace

[@Tone_Team]

Yes can damage the brick installing or removing the clip! Best way is make sure they are left when you build the previous lift and make sure they are cleaned out so you don’t have to smash them about to much

[@ConnerDouglas-d9g]

Stabiliser ever 6 course u Jonny

[@Tone_Team]

Ok, sorry

[@stemack1975]

The traditional Bricklayer says your all muppets using profiles and in his day we built corners without profiles!

[@Tone_Team]

I can do both 😂😀

[@AshleyJames-qq3mh]

Blake's r Best

[@Tone_Team]

They are very good 👍🏻

[@danfenton89]

Profiles are good and quicker but can't beat tradition bricklayering building mate 🧱👌

[@Tone_Team]

I do like to build the odd corner but keeping a profile nice and straight, gauge etc is also a bit of an art! Most lads nowadays don't know how to even set a profile up which is a shame as the external blakes are very good
