My mate does it like that 👍👍 better than Dori blocks in my opinion 👌🏼👌🏼

@@brickworkfundamentals4636 yeah if you spend out for bt Dori blocks it works but it’s a lot of money when you can just do that trick with a corner block

Crazy fast👌🏼👌🏼I’ll give David a shout and try and get the full hour up😀👍

@@brickworkfundamentals4636 Thanks heaps mate

Definitely loads of different ways to lay bricks so i would say do whatever feels right for you. This one is nice and steady. 😀👍

Awsome silo mortar from a company called cpi! It will be M2 which is the lighter duty stuff . Probably similar to type N. Give my a shout if you need any more info than this! 😀👍👍

I have just been wearing a tennis elbow brace for the last 2 months . £17 from Argos. (Neo G tennis elbow support) . The pain has pretty much gone again !!! It has a little pressure point pad that goes against where it hurts. So good . I would deffo recommend it! Mine was that bad at Christmas I was looking for a career change 😂 Pretty much gone now 👍

It does yes ! The force it pushes it in seems to make it stick to the sides. Highly recommend 👍👍

Definitely not. 👍👍

@@brickworkfundamentals4636 I was joking bro

😂 both drivers are shit hot on this site to be fair 👌🏼 mortar at 10 past 7 !! 🤑💪🏻

Thanks for commenting! Yeah, I think propping makes a loads better job. Nothing worse than tipping bricks. We are on a site with no soldiors or stone on the lintels ! Makes a nice change lol👍👍

Cheers !! Yeah, we have done it like this for years. I find it works well so I’ve just stuck with it . 👍👍 block work first. Top clamp at top👌🏼 If we ever do bricks first, I still use this method but put the intermediate dead close to the corner. Stops the front and back line from pulling the corner profile! Blake’s and blockdollys are on my wish list though !

Yeah! I would be using striking point if I was cutting the vousoirs 👍👍 With these , it is just a case of cutting the skew back and laying them . Sorry to hear your lungs are bad! I’m guessing the dust from bricklaying has not helped 👎👎It’s a real concern for us, even with all this health and safety on sites nowadays. Thanks very much for commenting 😀👍

Thanks 👊 it’s a really smart house with this porch and the balcony . Well worth putting a bit of time into it. I prefer boxes but it’s nice to do the bigger ones now and again lol Cheers for the comments Andrew 👍👍

Thanks mate 👍👍

And too many cowboys like you, 10mm over what looked like 6 bricks is not right and not good enough, do it right or dont bother.

🤡

Lol 👍 no, the pistol cut was because the steel was so thick. I guess it’s hard to see what’s going on from the vid. It was more like 15 mm so I wouldn’t have even considered it. I would call it Pride in the job , not chasing browny points . Appreciate the comments though 😊👍

​@@brickworkfundamentals4636chillax man😂 I often shout for a pack of pistol bricks on the lintols lift😂😂😂❤🎅🎅🎅( won't be long now doing brew till 2 ish🥶🥶🥶) love it home for Deal or No Deal 😂😂😂😂

Aup Ian 👍👍 I like brew till 2 !! 😂😂 Loads of loading and cleaning / patching on these 3 story houses so we will still be smashing out 8-4 (maybe) I’ve been told this site had no water for 3 weeks last winter 🥶 👎👎

It was more like 15. I couldn’t bed up each side, as the brickwork was already in. I wouldn’t want to try and loose 15 mm in 3 courses, especially as the joist were going to sit on it. I like your thinking though 👍👍

Brilliant ! Thanks for the comment 👍 really appreciate it . I actually use a Marshall town 11 inch Philadelphia for everything. I find it’s perfect for getting enough mortar on for 2 blocks or 2 perforated bricks. What do you prefer ??

Your right, It is good having the bricks on there. There is usually about 400 bricks in the second lift so wouldn’t be able to put them all up there. When it’s just me and our labourer I get him to put my bricks exactly where I want but when it’s 2 +1 I just grab them them from wherever he puts them. Otherwise he gets behind lol 😀👍

Hi! I just grab a few from Amazon now and again . I meant to put a link on here but forgot !! I’ll grab a link and put it on a comment 😊👍

A think the foot print line block is very good.

I noticed footprint do a jointer now !!! I bet it’s strong metal if it’s anything like their pins 👌🏼👌🏼 I haven’t seen their corner blocks so I’ll have look ! Cheers 😀👍

@@brickworkfundamentals4636 There line pins are piss buddy. Tysack better quality. Even the Ox. Best are mob line pins got some sent from Belgian bricky jay last a lifetime French company that makes them.

@@brickworkfundamentals4636 Yeah. A like use the Hubbard barrel jointer or the bon 1. Cheap amecth just as good but bit lighter meaning pushing more. Love the Kraft sled runner. A must for on blockwork. If look on rhino build there is 19mm bon sled blue handle a got this recently brilliant as couldn’t get the 14inch size at 19mm on the Kraft but have the 18inch long bad boy seconds blocks are done or brickwork but need to catch it on the softer side but guarantee crisp strip bed lines. Sled,s last a lifetime also. Worst key ever used was them dinger lightweight’s flimsy junk to much pressure you need on it pointing has went of a bit. 🤙

That’s great, thanks for the comment 😀👍

Cheers for commenting 👍 Most people on site use these square sections of aluminium as profiles. It’s easy enough to put a line on and run the brickwork in between…. But, This video shows a method for using normal corner blocks in a way that we can run a line across the front and back of the house while building the gable . There are building products which are designed for this purpose like the dori block but this is just showing that we can do it all with normal tools which most bricklayers have in their box! 😀👍

Cheers Richard!! Its all about helping people coming into the trade 😀👍🧱

That's the way to go I'm 71 now still laying bricks love watching you guys it's great

Would be nice to see a lesson for building a twisted brick pier

I’ve got 2 dori blocks mate but I just prefer the corner blocks! 👍👍

Yeah, my mate does something similar to that 👌🏼👌🏼 these corner blocks are really versatile ay !! 😀👍

Good tips. Unusual detail on the reveals?

@@brickworkfundamentals4636 nice! Will definitely be using this technique! Thank you 😎

Cheers @wumty93 I will do one! If the dog leg is on the back then we do the to gables first with the profile set up like in this vid. Then on the back it would be one profile on the external corner of the dog leg and one on the internal. 3 corner blocks and no corner block on the internal 👌🏼👍

Yeah, your right , can defo make a good job with whatever materials you have got. Our pointing is mint 👌🏼 We do it when it’s ready wherever possible. These houses have an acid wash at the end of the build. Any bits that have dried a slightly lighter colour then go the same colour. 👍👍

Cheers for commenting 😀!! Well, I’m normally a pic and dip man but these bricks are not great for it ! Ive got a few different styles I use for different bricks! 👍👍

I agree ! When it’s a gable ladder like this then the intermediates are not great . This method with the spring clamps is really good 😀👍 thanks for commenting 👍👍

😂😂 Yeah!! The great commandment 👌🏼👌🏼😀👍 probably the only one I stick to 😂👍

Yeah, f clamps are mint ! Can do so much with them!! 😀👍🧱

Aup Ian !!! I use spring clamps on the soffit and hang my line over them when the plastics are on!! Defo not as easy with the plastics already on but ok with a good system. Oh no!! Yeah, bricking is shite with no one bringing you the gear 👎 The best bricky I’ve ever seen did it on his own tho! On footings ! Got his own bricks and mortar. Still layed more than us 🙈

Definitely Scott!! Im planning on switching to 2 labourers on site. One putting profiles up and jointing. One doing bricks and mortar. Get so many more bricks down 👍👍 easily cover the extra wage. David is so fast in this vid 👌🏼👌🏼 cheers for commenting 😊👍
