I’m going to make a series of this type of video to help out young apprentices that aren’t getting a chance to lay on site. Let me know if there’s anything in particular you would like me to show 😊
Can you do a video on what trowel to use Charlie please im starting an apprenticeship soon and not sure what trowel I should start with thanks
Great videos Charlie, thanks! All topics are of interest especially the basics. Understanding more about making bond choices and managing broken bond would be cool
Maybe shaving them eyebrows 🤣😳
Nice one 👍 👌 this will be great for the young lads to do a bit of homework at home after work and build up the confidence and be ready for when the call comes to run in a few 👍 fair play fella 👏
Don't forget to let them know when the wall in being run in leaving your trowel in the middle of the muck on the board unattended is the biggest sin of all 😂 saves them climbing the scaffold every two min 😂
Set a work station up for my lad when he was 10 , started him spreading muck , then onto laying bricks on a 5 brick line, start them.with the basics . Now he is 22 and works with me , its an absolute pleasure to see a young man learn his trade . 🙌
As a bricklaying apprentice, these types of videos help me out a lot. I’m working on bettering my spreads, so this is something I’ll be implementing into my daily routine‼️
when i was on the monkey used to nick a few bricks and take home ,at night build a small corner in the garden 5/6 courses was told when you get the hang of that build them without using the level , suprising how good the eyes are when you check the plumbing afterwards
I'm an American who did masonry and brick laying in high school only and missed it ever since. Love your videos and you're making me want to practice the art since I was a teenager.
Nice work Charlie, and is good to see a man sharing his knowledge and skills with the next generation, am sure you are aware that in the past many skilled tradesmen took their knowledge to the grave , very important to leave knowledge and skills behind, same goes for other trades, stonemasons, carpenters etc.
Love your videos Charlie, started my apprenticeship 4 months ago and absolutely loving it. You aspire me to go far as a bricky and hoping to see you at super trowel next year ❤
A wonderful idea. We are not all British, and your construction method is distinctive, clean, and different from the world. We want it to be an educational reference and for you to show us all the stages from excavation to handing over the key. Thank you, Amy, and your father.
Class Act Charlie, top tips/ good training vid for the young Blood's
Cheers for this. Ill get round to replacing my lean to for an extension with more content like this. Just need to learn what a footing is.
Great idea for videos and like how you explain the reasons why you do things a certain way. Please keep them coming!
Thank you Charlie
Got some Blake’s before Xmas said I watch your videos and spoke about the golden trowel victory.
They gave me a discount.
Keep up the good work brother. Inspiration to all young brickies
Good idea that 👍
Great content
Alright Charlie I’m a second year apprentice I would say I’m relatively decent I’m regularly getting praise on site, one thing I sometimes struggle with is keeping the perps in line and I want to be a perfectionist as if it ain’t perfect what’s the point so I just want tips on what’s the best way to make sure the perps are in line without having to constantly check which slows you down, any tips are much appreciated
know how long 10 bricks lenghs is and mark it.
too short or too long you know how to adjust.
its too easy to fall into keep buttering and laying.
its good your trying to be good rather than fast.
the speed will happen, and take a telling and listen.
And old fuckers like me I'm 61 engineer since I was 16 but wished I was a brickie competent diyer built the odd wall but when I retire my project is to build a block workshop keep going with the videos
I remember my first few days in the workshop as an apprentice I was doing the exact same thing over and over how to work the muck and learning to spread on a board can't beat it good lad!! Feel sorry for the younger ones today just being used and abused on the hod fair enough first few weeks or month but give the lads a chance!!
Fantastic!! This is my learning goal of 2024!!!
You can do it!👊🏻
Yes please mate carry on. I am a chippie but would want to know more about bricklaying techniques as I am watching other brickies and wouldn't mind getting into it. Big up golden trowel.
Nice few tips there and nice to see new videos 👌👌
Great video and continue making more! Perfect timing for my diy brick projects at home
Legend! Quite literally just been looking into doing this type work for home DIY projects lol Wanna build a small wall going round as a garden border and this video pops up in perfect timing. Nice one Charlie cheers!
Glad I could help👌
Keep on 👍👍👍
Jolly good mate cheers
Great video mate,im sure a big help to all apprentices,always better to be shown by experienced tradies
Yes, for sure youtube is the way to go if you want to learn how to be a bricklayer.
No need for workboots even, bedroom slippers will for sure be all you need. lol
Excellent video
Only thing, you could have explained the mortar you were using and why no cement and that you do need cement when its for real
But hey great advice and demonstration 👍
very good video, thanks mate
A axed bulls eye !
Great video Charlie
Well done charlie
Nice to have you back geeza, Merry Christmas
MINT LESSON…….GREAT idea--learning on the board first……..

Great video. Well done Charlie
Awesome, cheers Charlie
Great to see you, happy Christmas mate, great idea
Why are you using hydrated lime Charlie?
its what colleges use for practise muck so it can be re used
Is that a new gaff mate
What Trowell was that you used from 4.00 in mate? Thanks, great video
Well done Charlie helping those new,,Use a gauging trowel to knock small amounts in a bucket up.. Better haircut too😂
Thanks 👍🏻
Be careful mate, according to traditional bricklayer you're not long enough in the game to teach anyone yet 🤣
Last I heard he thought a arris was called a Harris?😂I’ve been bricklaying longer than him he was a hoddy 13 years ago I’ve been on the trowel 20 years? So does that mean he can’t either 😂
You're miles ahead of him as a bricklayer and as a person. The guy is a tool. Keep up the great content @@CharlieCollison
Was that whole video a dig at Charlie.? 😂 he likes to pass himself off as “ old school “ but he’s only in his mid 40s
Pretty much mate, calls profiles idiot sticks. The guy is such an arse. He probably hasn't even been on the trowel as long as charlie, especially if he was a semi pro footballer?@@brickbybric
What about using a 2x4 that’s about 8’ long and using that to practice on??
thats what we had at college
Will be doing that in one my videos
Don’t remember seeing that tattoo in the side of your head before.?🤔.. new.??
When you back on site
