Nice informative video budd, but you missed out one important bit for the apprentices out there, you didn’t come off the side of the bolster and hit your hand with the lump hammer! Or is there a part 2? Anyway lovely ole job👍🏻
That brings back memories, when I was learning I used to have to chase out the mortar joints ready for the lead work, I used to hit my hands often, and wear those smelly old red rubber cloves, 🤦♂️😂👏👍
Clearly the apprentice was not tapping the bolster all round the brick. These are frogged bricks too, which make it easier. I find the ‘3-hole’ brick type very difficult to split top to bottom. The only way to do them consistently is with a disk cutter, in my opinion. This means you need some way to hold the brick like a form-work - not a foot holding it - & water dust suppression.
The apprentice didn't tap the bricks all the way around
He’s useless he is 😂😂😂 holding the bolster diagonally as well 😮

Old school skills from the Master. no noise, no dust, no water required let's hope the "Apprentice" files the knowledge away for another day!!!!!
👏👏

Try holding the bolster straight and hitting all the sides like shown.
He'll learn alot from you if he's willing
