Extensions Extensions …not always plain sailing …getting over this brickwork gauge For daily content follow me on Instagram @the_traditional_bricklayer
Wow I was looking at the trowel u are using and my brother who is a bricky used that trowel I think his was a whs Canadian pattern trowel with leather bands and a metal ferrel at the end he was awarded silver trowel at college City and guilds of London Unfortunately he no longer lay bricks sadly he had complication during heart surgery which left him paralysed in a wheelchair when he was in his 50s A great man a great bricklayer I loved working with my big brother he's 70 now but what a tradesman he was traditional as u are love watching video mate carry on
I had a similar issue when I built an extension on my old house, i gauged down from the top 2 storey, and went metric, you don’t even notice it.Original house 15 courses was 1200mm😬
many brickies used to lose a course up to door frame height using these brick back in the 70's 80's , very easy to get high building corners, beds look good to eye, up 12 gauge check 20mm high lol
@@matthewingham7806Yeah 4 courses to a foot back then 4 to 300mm post decimal Good fun plasterboarding ceilings Joiners setting out joist 400 mm centres and boards were still 4 ft x 3 ft old stock
Only thing wrong with this video is it ain't long enough, lovely bit of work once again 👍🏻 I'd call that a chip on the reveal a bit of character on the building.
My first job when I moved to Australia was on a school jumped on when nearly complete.. was asked to finish the toilet block only 7 courses left and could pin both sides off existing so I jumped up on scaffold and was sussing it all out when I noticed 7 courses on one side 6 courses on other.. boss man told me as it was so high you’d never notice I grabbed me shit and left aye
putting a pig init means you have missed a course of bricks from one end to the other( at some point didn't put the line up). what you did was take a datum when one end was half built? levels should be sorted at oversite, you either go metric and ignore existing or go to existing and risk shit looking brickwork? either way internally things need to marry up
No . In the south I have never seen that done. A mastic joint where the building meet is the most I've seen to stop damp but I never come across a damp problem in 35 years
I watch but I feel as if I should take trowel off him and show him a few things. I been laying 40 years, still am, and why can’t he cut half bricks 100 mm on reveal 🤔🤔
@@thetraditionalbricklayer9650 look at 9:32 how the side with the half brick is tiping..... 14:45 u can see the corner twist and also make you half brick side shine
Bricklaying is not for a D.I.Y.E.R Also there’s a huge difference from a brickie and a bricklayer ..in my world a Brooke is a chancer ,profile Pete …to be called a bricklayer takes some man of skill ✌️
Not a bricklayer but love the way you explain things a real tradesman at work. Keep the videos coming!!

A great man a great bricklayer I loved working with my big brother he's 70 now but what a tradesman he was traditional as u are love watching video mate carry on
Lovely work boys. Top job. Wobbly work on the existing, dealt with like pro's. Well done.
All in all one of the better UA-cam bricklayers
👍🏼 nice to see a young man in the background learning our trade .
Great video mate. And the lads coming on a treat. All the best to you both.
Such a joy to watch the corner being built ❤
Nice neat work , great video.
Excellent work and a lot of thought spot on
🎉 no ego! No life advice! No philosophy! Just a very skilled man show his craft!
Nice to see guage from the existing harse
"Dirty corner over there....that's where she's picked up"......🤣🤣🤣 don't know why but I chucked at that!. Nice work.👍
That's how I was taught on existing brickwork nice work
Lovely work stay proud
Can’t believe the boys using a profile, this is the reason the trades becoming unskilled. Corners out an all, when zoomed in
Got a 2 bedroom new build ill need a bricklayer for, man i wish it could be you, seen all of your vids. Great work
Nice one Dean👍
Why ain’t you cutting a cavity in walls, or at least a line with some damp in 🤔
Great piece of brick work
I cant even use a hammer - but you're a great English / British patriot and all power to you.
I had a similar issue when I built an extension on my old house, i gauged down from the top 2 storey, and went metric, you don’t even notice it.Original house 15 courses was 1200mm😬
Still can’t believe you was a goalkeeper like me self and was regarded as one of the best goalkeeper coaches
Proper Brickie✔ I could watch that all day.
many brickies used to lose a course up to door frame height using these brick back in the 70's 80's , very easy to get high building corners, beds look good to eye, up 12 gauge check 20mm high lol
Was it not because of imperial gauging

Don’t forget your ties to your reveals was taught that as an apprentice 🙄 no good pushing them in after !!
Horrible bricks but made a cracking job off it, nice explanation of how to overcome out of gauge work. Superb
Stone / brick mason for27yrs , lots of stone in my youth,prefer the bricks now 😁
Wow, old LBC Dapple light's, full frog, lay frog up, you bump up real fast, frog down, grind like hell, nice brickwork mate.
is that a profile?
To be honest take normal guage of head of frame 2100 furfix to exsisting run downpipe down joint wont see other side no dramas
Rough as toast 🤣

Hahahaha
Had very similar story when I landed
Called a course of pig 🐽
The sand man 👍
Good work but is that a timber profile I see haha
Look like bricks from the WAR😮
LBC's have got to be the worst bricks ever made. You should have used commons !!!
Nasty chip on the reveal mate
Out of the whole video well spotted…call it a detail 🫵🏼
charge extra for them

levels should be sorted at oversite, you either go metric and ignore existing or go to existing and risk shit looking brickwork? either way internally things need to marry up
I agree should of used the top of the window and gauged down in metric and ignored the original brick work. You made hard work out of that
When you need a level with a BEAT ME STRIP you know you have failed. 😂 Even worse part of it is busted off from the beatings.
17 movements to lay bed for two brick. 😮
What's the orange thing leaning up against the wall
Top man👌👍 but youve got to put them ties in before you lay the bricks😏😅
Dean why do you use a beat me stabila? 😢 Pieces knocked off must of hammered it . 😅
App don't use trowel handle for a HAMMER 😢
You are one of the better UA-camrs laying brick but I just wanted to use the comment section. 😅😂❤
Hundred movements to spread for three brick. 😮
Dean is ure house finished u dont shos enough vids mate .regards
How's the house coming along Dean?
Allo mate was holding back seeing what the recession was doing looking to restart spring …hope your well mate
Lovely new truck mate, classy but not too show off!
Lack or wall ties. Also the ties they use are not allowed in North America. They are to thin and provide no support.
and the video says it all
Oh look the traditional Brickie is using a profile
So what???
Did a video slaggin them
Can't stand him and his "cockney" accent. He talks out his arse.
😂😂😂 got eeeeem
And brick tape
Dressing in an old man’s woolly jumper, flat cap and scarf doesn’t make you traditional mate😬😂 Brilliant work I just don’t see a plum-bob anywhere 😂
You are making a meal of that lad. Looks like two separate houses, different gauge. Just pick one.
Should you guys have not cut a cavity in-between your wall starters to stop damp crossing 🤔
No . In the south I have never seen that done. A mastic joint where the building meet is the most I've seen to stop damp but I never come across a damp problem in 35 years
In theory yes you’re right, I run the cutter up between the starter kits and put 4”damp in
Haha traditional bricklayer using a apprentice frisco tape
no profiles hahha
Brick tape ffs 😂
Apples pairs
Too many men say oh no not using the divvy stick! Then many get it wrong🤣🤣
Don’t you have to cut the cavity open where the new walls meet existing?
No why would you do that?
@@PaddleDogC5 stop damp travelling across to the now inside brickwork……
Not a necessity, but I always do, just for peace of mind.
Building inspector wouldnt pass our without it at least a saw cut and some 5" damp through
If itpoks right it is right
What’s the harse gauge?
What’s harse? House?
Imperial and metric gauging pal
Nothing wrong with your level mate it’s the brick you need to tap😂
Don't use profiles though kids 😂joker
I watch but I feel as if I should take trowel off him and show him a few things. I been laying 40 years, still am, and why can’t he cut half bricks 100 mm on reveal 🤔🤔
The good old 4 to the foot .... lbc brindles....horrid brick from the 80s...
so 15mm = a pig ????????????????
Absolutely hate LBC bricks , very porous and crap quality . Great job though 👍
no level on that lead exept for the corner......big no no
Jesus Christ I do worry …u really have to level every course ?? No wonder the trade is in trouble
@@thetraditionalbricklayer9650 look at 9:32 how the side with the half brick is tiping..... 14:45 u can see the corner twist and also make you half brick side shine
Really …obviously it’s got to be camera angle really think a man of my calabah would leave that …I’ll address this comment in the next episode
Made them shit bricks look good
Great work
@@sebg2086I take it you’re a master craftsman with a degree in UA-cam critiquing 🥱
UA-cam show it for a diy not a brickkie
Bricklaying is not for a D.I.Y.E.R
Also there’s a huge difference from a brickie and a bricklayer ..in my world a Brooke is a chancer ,profile Pete …to be called a bricklayer takes some man of skill ✌️
Not rocket science
Sorry i 😖wince every time you hit that level 🤐
A gauge tape? Bruv...
He’s transferring the gauge from the existing which is not true to gauge therefore the gauge tape would not work would it….bruv
@@RPJustkeepmarching well spotted sir 👌
Why do u pick up brick then then reject it
Wear is your other son
Look like bricks from the WAR😮
