Masters of Bricklaying

[@Jesusisyhwh]

I think that this "Cheapside Day" event is a wonderful idea!

[@stilln68la]

for those who have never worked in mainland europe.because of the type of construction ,the bricks and the mortar.itthe laying method is different.working out of a barrow or tub is easier and goes faster than if you were to use spots.the scaffold systems are designed for this.ít´s apples and pears.

[@NaughtyNick5]

Exactly its all about tidyness and then speed. Takes years to master!

[@Yaddahay]

I hate how people downplay the importance of Labor. White collars are ripe for getting dirty. Architects can design all the buildings they want but that doesn't get them built. Nothing gets accomplished without Labor.

Hi, i'm a bricklayer from Canada and i'm interested in knowing what types of connectors are mostly used in the U.S. and the U.K. regardless of construction type. Wooden, concrete, blocks walls... thank you guys.

[@brickclimber]

we have the same kind of bricks here in canada, i suppose it just creates more surface area for the mortar to bond to.

[@stilln68la]

i always hated laying lbc´s.why the deep frog?.they always tended to swim.

[@edesir]

Can't wait for the watching paint dry exibition. :)

[@stilln68la]

"almost forgotten"i was being sarcastic you silly billy.god it feels great to have a free hand to point things out.your to easy so i´m off to point things out to someone else.

[@stilln68la]

if you think you should fill every frog before laying to grind down you´ve got a screw loose.how spreading a lighter bed.thanks for those standard gauges i´d almost forgot them.

[@stilln68la]

have you ever layed lbc´s?.when you put them down fast they swim.trust me .

[@rudo747]

frog up end of debate

[@stilln68la]

it´s almost unheard of in modern brick construction.go back a hundred years or more when the whole construction was in brick and it was very common especially in internal walling.40 odd brickies all working different parts of the job mistakes were bound to happen.a lot of fasades ended up having a rendered finish.

[@49mrjd]

frog up every time after prlonged rain as we have been getting these last few years any frost and that mother is gonna start to blow

[@UpcomingJedi]

Whats with the blue shirt cat? Is he handling gold bars or bricks???

[@unionbound]

What's the point of even laying frog bricks if your just going to lay them upside down? Why use a pointing trowel on a wall that size, Is the UK that hot you can't spread for more than one brick?

[@deangriffiths9740]

Whens the masters getting there ????😂😂😂

[@PaddleDogC5]

traps moisture in the brick that cannot drain easily through the mortar

[@gbrick1]

frog up in Australia is better there tends to be less air pockets

[@PaddleDogC5]

how would you get an air pocket? LOL

[@01HiddenManna]

job well done

[@bigdannyg23]

to be honest i have never worked anywhere other than the uk,the comment wasn't aimed at you personally more a generalization of bwk,thought it may be helpful to others less informed!blatantly obvious it maybe but you yourself had"almost forgotten"standard gauge!as for being drunk or diving in if theres an error in what i said feel free to point it out!i know that the perfect work scenario is rare but surely good basics apply majority of the time?

[@vonstalheim]

the music is from Psychoscout by the 'Flat Earth Society'

[@stilln68la]

thanks for the blatently obvious info.i think you should read the comments more carefully or at least sober before diving in there.nowhere did i advocate for for a frog down.you want try working in scandinavia brick skinning timber and concrete constructions where art of bumping and grinding is is truelly masterd.

[@stilln68la]

you said it.

[@Aingelives44]

I lay bricks therefore I am.

[@Yaddahay]

Face painted kids playing with mortar, Lovely!

[@stephenjugs77]

mr bean on the trowel

[@stilln68la]

27 courses.don´t ruin the ledgend.

[@tomday9939]

Neat!

[@123TauruZ321]

I started off as a bricklayer\masoner but i lost my passion =( Now i'm a nobody.

[@ciceromarcustullius5981]

typical brickies comments my self included never met a sane one yet reading the arguments between the 1s who know an 1s who don't priceless

[@Jesusisyhwh]

Why would you like having a wheelbarrow in your way? Mudboards are much nicer and easier to use.

[@TommyGee.]

cool video, only respect for bricklayers 🧱😊

[@PaddleDogC5]

bricks have cores to reduce shipping weight, material cost, and make them easier to lay & cut.

[@xiDaNnY95xi]

@laptoplarryspc looks like he has never done a proper full days graft in his life

[@eowenspa2]

Why called masters?

[@draftersecret]

bricklaying is not just a loborers job cause im sure there are people that would not know where to start

[@badgerman17a]

Hey man, take it easy! Who are you anyway? The trowel inquisition? Anyone can hold a trowel. You need to relax. Looked pretty good to me frankly. I bet you've never laid brick in your life.

[@vic-ei1ww]

not only Mexicans can lay brick

[@bigdannyg23]

frog should never be upside down,if nhbc clock that you are in shit!i know it help s to grind down but truth be known if things are set out proper and you stay to gauge then you don't have to frog anything,if it's not a bwk measure you adjust gauge to suit i.e 2mm per course -or+.so on the the first lift of(for instance)23 course you could lose or gain 46mm!make up a guage rod to help these pricks who can't read a tape and you're good to go...it's called planning or setting out!!

[@katchup7597]

jesus i hope you dont call yourself a brickie...if you do maybe you should look up what a queen closer is and why you use them

[@cypresbyrne]

lmao

[@SD78]

/facepalm

[@nesstorms7075]

Even the bricklayer wasn’t filling his joints. Asking for trouble using shit lbc bricks empty joints and frog down certainly not built to last. Like the blind leading the blind. My advice would be, leave it to the professionals. Not the master of ?

[@Jesusisyhwh]

Poor layout. Should not have a cut in the wall like that. Poor craftsmanship or poor design.

[@killrroyale]

no shit

[@PaddleDogC5]

can't handle anything big I see? LOL
