In the Seventies pick and dip was not recognised as such but we used a hybrid of that and spreading long bed.At that time nearly everything we built was with London facings and commons with the frog in so we used to spread the long bed but not perp the brick but push the mortar up as in pick and dip now ,it saved a lot of time and effort . With these videos Charlie you have re-ignited my interest in brickwork so much that I am thinking about rebuilding a small retaining wall in the garden and I turned 69 last month ! ! .
@@martin2466 I know someone who did and some of the German bricklayers used to use the offset Asian type trowel. I am enjoying semi-retirement Martin for the last 5 years I have worked for a well known supermarket, it is not really for the money but every little helps ! Seriously, I am really quite healthy except for some arthritis in my knees as like a lot of builders.
No bricky but i would recommend over such a distance to set something temporarily and tingle the line. There was alot of play in that line, its bound to sag over that long stretch Personally, as a groundworker i generally wont lay kerbs, edgers, slabs etc. without having pins to hold the line every so many meters. Just personal preference i guess and the ways ive been shown, even when ive done block and brickwork up to damp, i usually set the laser up and tingle the line near the center.
Lovely old job there Amy 👍 very neat sharp and tidy, remember speed will come through experience, practice and trial and error 👍 I bet Harry is dying to get back on the trowel. Hope your new hoddy on Monday is a good-en. Nice job gang see you in the next one, thanks for sharing 👍💪🤙👌💯✅👊
Never worked on sites but as a self employed builder it hurts to see compo on scaffold boards. Taught to put back on board. Good to tell you not paying for it and having to hod up ladder like labourers used to do. They would have bollocked you good a d proper.
Can I give you a tip,get a ball for your dog,stick can break and lodge in the roof of his mouth,it happened to me twice with my dog had go to vet,it can burst through the roof of his mouth and stop him breathing. Love your vids.
mate, first thing i thought when i seen that you bring yer dog to work is how much happier it probably is compared to if it was sat indoors alone all day.
Being a chippy, I know all too well about smashing your thumb with a hammer 😂 split the end of my thumb I hit it that hard once 😬 great video again! Makes me want to start bricklaying as a Saturday job 😂
You make it look effortless. Takes years to develop the touch. Your set up let’s you put a lot of bricks in the wall if the help can keep material good vid bud!!
You notice the board etiquette is lacking when Amy is laying and as you say this is because she is a novice so no fault of hers. She needs to work on her bed laying technique also as this has a knock on effect making laying the brick more difficult.
I find it amazing that the inspectors on your site are picking up on pinholes in the cavity and stupid little things yet the shit they pass on other sites like persimmons. You would think it would be the same across the board. Charlie your a good bricky with a good level of patience. 🧱👌
Fuck people that say don’t leave your dog in the van. Mine loves it. He’d rather be in the van than at home all day. Gets multiple walks and he’s with his dad.
Alright Charlie? I’m 43 & never worked on site, I’m thinking of trying to get my CSCS card, do you think it’s worth me doing it and do you think someone would take me on as a labourer?
never too late to change but site might be a bit of a shock for you having never done it before. you will be working hard, all day out in the wet / cold / hot weather with a hard hat on plus the other PPE. If you can manage the hard graft people will notice and you'll have plenty of work.
Saw finger there charlie, not being funny, the site manager doesn't mind nail holes in the damp? I know boys staple them now it's a lot handier. Great show as always
Yeah I noticed this, slightly different shade and texture of red and they have 8-10 holes as opposed to the 3holed brick on the previous plot. Pretty sure Charlie doesn't pick the bricks, I guess it is down to the company he is doing the work for. I would guess the choice of different brick is varry the look of the houses so they don't all "look the same" There's a housing plot down the road from me, 30 new houses being built some in yellow some in red but all have the some features and detail work (blue engineering bricks 2course round the buildings below windows) guess the mix of yellow and reds separates them some what.
@@CharlieCollison there probably the same ones saying they can build corners faster that can’t afford profiles 😂love the vids man always looking to improve my way of working smarter
I can't believe the belly-aching about the rear of the facework, that's when you know your work is good and they have nothing credible to moan about. Surely the site agent can see you produce quality work, let's hope there's loads of sites starting up, they'll be screaming for anyone with a trowel. So glad I left the trade over 20 years ago as the building sites seem to reflect the world we know live in, full of snowflakes, jobsworths and non-producers in suits.
do you think you let off amy more compared to the others as she is your girl got her hands in her pockets and doesnt cut all her bricks and blocks. not sexist just asking
This channel is brilliant because it’s raw human interaction daily. And that’s all we really need to keep watching.

Theres something therapeutic about watching him lay bricks that effortlessly , to describe him he's the brick laying equivalent of Messi 👏
I am not a brick layer i dont know why but i am addicted to watch his video 😀 lovely work

Harry’s a good lad, seems keen as fuck to learn everything.
Cheers for the daily content mate - I work for a new builders merchant and im learning alot about the stuff we stock from this!!
Another great video, thanks for the content to procrastinate yet again with

Why would you throw your profile off the scaffolding like that when you rely on it for being plumb etc?
I’m in love with the coco

One of my dogs ripped half his tongue off on a stick.
See you on the a12 this morning 😂 amy doing her makeup 😂 was in the flat bed transit behind ya
I used to take my border cross Norfolk everywhere on my landscaping business customers always looked after him with biscuits and water
mate, first thing i thought when i seen that you bring yer dog to work is how much happier it probably is compared to if it was sat indoors alone all day.
she's a neat little bricky like you said speed will come in time

patience of a saint !

At least Amy is quiet when it rains.
I have a spear and Jackson line but I also have an imex line. I prefer the imex line though
Congrats too Charlie amy and harry for another top video 👍🏻

Charlie your a good bricky with a good level of patience. 🧱👌
Trouble is most inspectors don’t actually know what there looking for. So holes is a easy option
@@CharlieCollison fair comment. Bit of a power trip too I guess.
Hi bud got a question for you when building a pear 140x225 would you cut the block in half or put the block on end
I felt your pain when you lumped your hand...my dear old dad was the same he'd use every cuss n swear he knew of anything happened
28:00 everyone know the feeling 😂
Hope it didn't hurt to much the next day

Hector is happy, sod what others think, your mate, you adore, adores you & you chose him, not others.
What Jointing bar is it you use ?
You should do more of those time lapses but when you're laying brick.
I agree its good to see the wall start to grow in time lapse
First
28:00 we all felt that 😥😥
Charlie Question: Amy mentioned your having to wear a white hard hat? Are you not allowed to wear black?
I was thinking, why the hell do you have you hand so close to the nail when hammering it down.....and the next minute you hit your finger!!!Ouch!!!!
Suns out guns out 🔥🔫
is it me or does anyone else just get ready for half 7 to watch this 🤣🤣
NO !

Why you doing this 😭live her doingit
Are you teaching the apprentice how to hammer his own thumb as well ?????
Haha that fart in the container
Cavity trays cleaner than your toilet!

How come the bricks were different when you changed plots?
Yeah I noticed this, slightly different shade and texture of red and they have 8-10 holes as opposed to the 3holed brick on the previous plot.
