Great tip Robin. I know someone who tried to build something similar. He looked all over for someone to give him a hand, but eventually didn't bother. He concluded that he just couldn't get the staff.
The bloke who taught me concreting called it an 'Oggy stick', the guy that held it was called the 'Oggy'. This was pre-laser technology. He stood on the theodolite and gestured from a distance. Or swore.
Very, very special video to add to your channel. You have an easy, natural way to explain complicated concepts. And as usual ... the production and graphics show you really love doing this channel and eager to see where it goes.
Speaking as a bricklayer, it's always reassuring to build off of foundations that have been poured under the supervision of a time-served carpenter. I even favour smaller jobs where the chippy has done the foundations instead of bigger jobs where the footings have been poured by a large groundwork subcontractor.
Thats really interesting Lawrence, so many people don't appreciate how hard it is for a brickie if the foundation is out of level and at a bad height for gauge!!!!
Hi Robin, Thanks for the really useful tip. Could you give us the details of the receiver unit. I already have that Lecia laser unit but it just has the standard red piece of plastic target your one look/ sounds a much better option. Thanks
Is that a universal laser receiver or is it with the laser level? If universal, what brand is it as wouldn't mind getting one for my up and coming work. Cheers. 👌
Instead of a laser receiver like that, you can use your front facing phone camera. Move it up or down, keeping it vertical, it will show when you've hit the laser ! Magic !

My guess he did both….. in equal measures

Thank you very much Thor!! I wish all the comments where as nice as yours!!
They are called bird tables as a shuttering chippie it’s probably the first thing you make at the start of a job.
Always learn something new with your videos, thanks.
That's handy Robin screw a broom head on that when you're finshed . Brush those boots. Hope the job is progressing how you want. Thanks for sharing.
Simple. Once you see it done. Thanks for the tip and the video!
You're welcome!

@@ukconstruction Thanks Robin, the fact that a Chippie knows what gauge is warms the cockles of this old bricklayers heart.
It was my late father in law who was a proper brickie like you that taught me this important fact and I am forever in his debt...
@@ukconstruction Nice to hear that Robin. There are plenty of bricklayers who are learning from you so you are passing it back.
Great to be working with the sun on your back Robin 👍👍
Working on a Sunday! Hope there's cold 1's in the fridge 😂
robin puts the clever in clevett
Love your work! Quick question: what’s some methods for leveling post height against the others that spans a distance? Thanks in advance 🙏
brilliant

What happens when your tripod isn't tall enough? I have only walls opposite, nothing metallic? Thanks
Making one first job tomorrow
