Finally someone who knows how to train the apprentice rather than using them as cheap labour

[@dylanmorgan2752]

True so many big companies will use young people as slave labour then your middle aged blokes with gold dust contracts act like they’ve got attitude issues. Mate of mine secured what he thought was a promising job for life at Network rail, worked his arse off on peanuts for a few years only to get thrown away with the others a few weeks before graduating. You’d be surprised how much a young enthusiastic person will work for you if they can trust you.

[@CalumRoberts-i1x]

It's mostly U grade students & Foriegn Labour who do these jobs From about 1990 until a couple of years ago It waa unheard of getting an A* star to do a job like this now with the lack of interest in the arts This could be the awnser for many people

[@saawml1274]

This guy is just too good to be true, anyone who worked in construction knows how profesional and skilled this man is. My respect bro keep it up

[@Gavaldo]

Charlie is a true professional. Proper geezer that knows exactly how to make money on site. No danger your on hourly rate at that speed & dedicated work ethic bro. 🧱✌️🧱 💰

[@Chris-the-Saxon]

Its a real pleasure to watch someone who knows and enjoys his trade.

[@tchallaw3st]

It’s so cool watching different masons around the globe and their different set ups/ methods. Great video Charlie.

[@ianparker3486]

Great video Charlie great way to teach your apprentice he’s lucky to be learning from the best in the country

[@peterknapp1784]

Hello mate, i'm a 56 year old brickie. You have this game worked out big time with all your attention to detail. Thanks for your help, you help me lay a bit easier & more efficient. As you say mate, diet , sleep & not wasting energy is so important. I am never to old to learn. I'm not the fastest for sure but tidy & that get's me paid.

[@trucker5722]

I am not a brickie but I could watch you for hours I watch every one of your videos have done from day one. I bet Tyler wonders what’s hit him today , nice to see young lads getting on with it doing as their asked without any drama. Not seen your dad on your videos for a while has he retired.

[@curlannoray292]

Points for you on that charlie good to see you checking up on your workers making sure that thay are doing the work the right way keep up the good work

[@E69apeTheMatrix420]

Fare play Charlie, absolutely chucked them in! Its easy to watch and hard to do. I guess 420 bricks in that video.

[@user-DANWALKER1066]

ITS ACTUALLY THERAPEUTIC WATCHING THESE VIDEOS! A LOT OF PEOPLE DOMT REALLY SEE THE WORK, EFFORT AND SKILL THAT GOES IN AND IS REQUIRED TO DO THESE JOBS - IT IS AN ART KEEPING EVERYTHING LEVEL, SQUARE & NEAT. IVE WORKED WITH LOTS OF TRADESPEOPLE AND THIS GUY IS A PRO! VERY NEAT, TIDY & EXPERIENCED! KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING! SOME ARCHWAYS BE NICE TO SEE IF ANY AVAILABLE!

[@joshuaainsworth3909]

Quality fella how you speak and advise people just isn't the norm out their , firm but fair , prefer this style of vid too 👌

[@Mark-dk8ii]

Just watched your video on building a 7 high corner your technique neatness speed and eye for plumbing is brilliant enjoy your vids and your knowledge

[@claytonTR89]

Quality vid mate, you don’t hang about getting them bricks down 💪🏼

[@markhitchin1647]

Great to see you all working as a great team team work is dream work about 750

[@tomrand7433]

Fair play spending time with the apprentice i did me level 3 nvq but was never given the time of day to lay after that in my 30s now would love to give it another crack

[@РоманИгнатюк-я9л]

Вот это я понимаю уровень экстра класса, не то что наши каменщики, успехов тебе Чарли во всех сферах жизни)))))

[@СергейШабанов-й1б]

Привет. Из наших нивка смотрю

[@12elite12]

Good to see these kids going into the trades 👍

[@kevinryan3241]

Everything you said was spot on! Your a very good mentor and boss. My guess Your brick count was 500 bricks in the video.

[@robmoore380]

On fire today “Turbo “! Great video

[@lukeyoneshot6040]

The 1 hour long episodes are back 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@chrisallen2005]

I used to be a Journeyman Sheet Metal Mechanic. Ended up having to work at a metal fabrication shop when I could find no other work. I was amazed by my lack of skills and knowledge when I found out how little pay I was being offered. Sure was good at pulling welding cables on job sites.

[@andywest3260]

I could watch your for hours laying brick you probability think i am bonkers but I find it relaxing

[@radicalcartoons2766]

I don't know how it works today, but the CITB used to come on site to check how apprentices were being taught. This is 40 yrs ago, mind!

[@herrtomas6729]

Yeah, same with EITB in my training

[@michaelmrvosh]

I live in the U.S. I wish I had learned brick laying as a profession. Instead I went to college and got a degree in chemistry. Then worked for Union Carbide and Dow in Research and Development until Dow left the area I lived at. As a technician it was boring and monotonous. Brick laying seems more satisfying because you can see what your building and take pride in it.

[@pauldunecat]

That pipe getting so close to your face when reaching for the next brick, I was like worried the whole vid! lmao

[@gregmackie6161]

545 approximately,good content Charlie and good work advice for apprentices,I am a panelbeater and my bosses thru me straight in to it too,first year I was cut and shunting cars together, although they are 2 different trades the learning aspect is still the same cobber,cheers cuzzy from NZ ,I don't know wat it is but I could watch you lay bricks all-day and I'm not a weirdo,Amy is a awesome cook and good on her for learning the trade,your girl is a cutie she's going to have your humour I'm sure of that,when U told her to say piss off reminded me of my nephew's and nieces picking up on the adults bad language,😂

[@brandoncattermole9403]

[@RoadRunner129]

Fantastic work Charlie

[@DavidSmith-nd6pj]

Charlie collision youre a legend😊

[@lmilne4859]

Blasting them bigman the ox blue rubber corner blocks good Charlie. Them bumpy surfaces nae good for hard plastic corner blocks.

[@jackward6182]

Speed is unreal, just sometimes perps aren’t full

[@tombates9855]

Fair play Charlie 👍

[@guyvernon9796]

i was working out you were doing 15 bricks a minute £9 a minute haha. absolutely inspiring . legend

[@StinkyMinge]

That is mad

[@CHEESYhairyGASH]

Guy's back is unbelievable.

[@edwardshallow3353]

Great video charlie,great to see ya teaching another 1 a great trade❤

[@leedavies3629]

Nice one Charlie lad get um on that trowel great watch 🙂✌️

[@martinambrosecchia2991]

Nice work, ethics, don't abuse your apprentices or there won't be any apprentices. Hard enough to get good help ,hire apprentices, raise your own good help.

[@dylanmorgan2752]

Exactly. These people wonder why there aren’t enough young people learning trades and put it all down to youngsters having no graft when they won’t lift a finger to teach them. A good apprentice will work hard for you so long as they can trust you with their future.

[@KIRKS]

Tyler is the best. 😄

[@liamconroy9276]

Charlie it hasn't loaded fully, I had 12 seconds of a black screen

[@Cumbrian77]

Full perps please MR C. No tip und tuck 😂 Top lad

[@brianbobbins6685]

slapping them in well good,you need to win the special comp in the usa

[@alfredasmelis3204]

😱😳 you are so fast , My head is bowed

[@Dipzee]

I did pick and dip the other day and I must say after 10 mins or trying I was flying. 😊

[@edwardmurphy4637]

Full joints Charlie please and no tipping

[@gteaz]

You can lay twice the amount by cutting corners. Do that with me and you're knocking down the wall and rebuilding it for free.

[@freedom4life123]

@@gteaz Someone who actually makes a sensable comment, most of these folk in the comments musnt not have laid a single brick in their lives. SMH 🙄🙄

[@grahamobrienverynicex9804]

Ammy a good cook

[@jamiem348]

“Looks alright from my house” is my favourite saying at work 😂 just seems to go over 90% of peoples heads 🙈

[@richardstetson8221]

Where I live in the US it's a pretty common saying

[@NickBool-u4q]

My first boss taught me to graft Charlie,45 years ago. Still Mates now.

[@lllIlIlIIII]

fair play putting up with the young apprentices its hard to stay calm with them sometimes 16:07 made me laugh he could have handed the brick to you but dumped it into the muck and youve just lobbed it on the floor hahaha fair play id lose the plot haha

[@SuperHoggs]

What are the corners done in that way? And where is the internal wall?

[@BigHank31]

152 in first gable, 132 in pillar/gable 4 half’s in pillar also and 6 wall ties 👌 how long were you working for in total mate? 😆

[@ianhoward4246]

I got into bricklaying because of the 3 day week 😂😂😂.... I'd heard the wrap tent scaffold thingy costs 35 thou....I asked a contracts manager ( Redrow) about it....he didn't even reply , then walked off...... probably to the golf course......😮😮😮

[@4saxon7]

Masterful

[@alexsteele1632]

Brilliant vid mate,and i don't need a 1er that much to count lol😂

[@davidtuffin6993]

I can't stop laughing at you saying it looks like a bit of cardboard was that your tea by any chance

[@ernestogonzalez17]

great skills

[@Devon-Harvey]

Hi Charlie what do you think about getting a hod carrier to lay some bricks when have some time to spare? Bit older now don’t think I could afford apprenticeship route. Cheers 👍

[@joecrisco7944]

Great bricklayer fast smooth 2675 brick

[@brandoncattermole9403]

This is good

[@paulwilliams4382]

Your work is a1 but I do favour the traditional bricky 1 reason he teaching his kids old school

[@CharlieCollison]

Please describe old school

[@RobBoFr]

Charlie isn't teaching his apprentice on a period property here though mate.... this is new build site work to current regs?

[@MrDavelyth123]

I half get one he’s saying with traditional bricklayer, but let’s not forget Charlie is throwing them in, and his apprentice will not be around in 6 months. Traditional bricklayers lad will more likely stay with his dad.

[@dylanfeatherstone9836]

@@MrDavelyth123if the lads smart he’ll stay with Charlie, but sometimes young lads give in it’s a man’s game

[@MrDavelyth123]

Hopefully he does, he should learn what he can from Charlie. I’ve got both my lads working with me, ones now laying, the other started around a month ago he’s now spreading and understanding how to use the trowel.

[@JeffP-z6y]

Well at least he put the line up for ya!!! 😂 show off 😂

[@CharlieCollison]

He laid half the bed to 👍🏻

[@joepond6556]

Nice to see young blood coming in to the trade 278 bricks and 4 Half's. So 280 whole bricks in total

[@jonbichette7260]

Love the videos. Just a question or two. Why are the corners doubled up like that? And 2 what’s the difference between a bod carrier and an apprentice?

[@CharlieCollison]

It’s a garage front pier to take the lintel

[@jonbichette7260]

⁠@@CharlieCollisonnot much brick work here in Florida. I’ve bricked 2 houses in my 20+ year career. A lot of block here and the garage lintels we set here are a bear.

[@richardstetson8221]

A hod carrier is what they call a laborer an apprentice is someone they are teaching to lay bricks alot of times the apprentice has to do some laborer work

[@beeleywood7796]

Getting the lad to spread muck, my old boss used to call that "breaking his writ in" I would say around 645 bricks

[@bricky1455]

284 Bricks, or 283 brick and a half if your feeling precise 👍🤣

[@seanoxborough5830]

Alot, 5 brick a second 😊

Hi chas you are the magic man 😂

[@regjai7558]

What trowel where u using ?

[@Fordmad90]

How come your building corners matey

[@damosquad9585]

I have a question, why the single brick stack bond in the corner and not just bond it with the half on the corner not in the middle ? ❤❤

[@CharlieCollison]

I didn’t build the ground floor

[@richardstetson8221]

@CharlieCollison I still don't get that why it takes more than one masonry contractor to build a house I've never been on a job like that where I live in the US where I build half the house and someone else finishes it

[@brad265]

Why don't you pick n dip anymore?
