[@stevens5541]

He started cutting this brick in 1982 when he was a young man.....just finished.

[@patrickweber149]

Thanks for taking the time to coach up newbies!

[@hotpoker4212]

Bricks should always be cut on a bed of sand ,to obsorbe,the impact, makes a cleaner cut

[@CP-ux9zd]

Or use a hot poker

[@wemcal]

Great video and great demonstration

[@reddevil9554]

Not a builder, never will be, but I was curious how they did this. Very interesting.

[@stevens5541]

We don't do it like that

[@numberpie]

@@stevens5541 make a video about it

[@avatarmasterofallelements9402]

Guaranteed this is not what 90% of us were looking for when we typed that into the search bar

[@CP-ux9zd]

I like your nanny chisel. I’ve never seen a mason use one. But for inexperienced, it would save your holding hand.

[@RajuAhmed-jk7ub]

Very helpful video

[@threatassessment216]

Thank you sir

[@Spencerlayne]

Why don't they just start selling half size bricks?

[@numberpie]

ive seen them for sale at homedepot, not recently however (7-ish years ago?), might have been too niche and didn't sell well enough to make profit

[@HoustonR6ryda]

thank you

[@jordanlee3378]

Could of layed 6 courses and put another mix on by now

[@innesreid5121]

Good for you

[@thecw301]

Yeah, that took wayyyy too long.

[@splinterz_0z152]

Aye, just use trowel to break it takes about 10 seconds lmao

[@TonyMontana-os8ri]

Safety glasses or sunglasses lol

[@KingPrintmaker]

They're probably both. That's what some tinted safety glasses look like.

[@mark675]

Terminator glasses

[@aaronsaunders6974]

bolster chisel 😁👍 thanks 4 name wensley. will b put 2 use

[@asmethbos2771]

What's the name of that brick?
Asking because I have the same bricks. Which was an interior decorative wall (not structural or load bearing), that I want to make into pizza oven. Doing research about bricks so I know they won't explode when they heat up.
Cheers.

[@sltga1254]

Wouldn't you need 'fire bricks' for a pizza oven?

[@stevens5541]

The brick is named "dave"

[@astraldk]

Hollow bricks can be used to soundproof, so it makes sense for that type of wall.

[@hotpoker4212]

[@mikeb2575]

Irishman walks into a brick merchant and asks for 40,000 bricks. The merchant asks "Have you got some work on Paddy" ?
"Oh, yes" replies the Irishman, "I'm building a BBQ".
The brick merchant looks shocked and says "You'll never need 40,000 bricks for just a BBQ Paddy"
The Irishman says "But it's on the 10th floor"...

Why do I want a bowl of Lucky Charms now?

[@Sandow.]

I don’t know because he’s not Irish, he’s Welsh

[@marloncatskill7549]

Because lucky charms are made of sugar and brick debris!

Rubbish what about removing the ten mm for the joint has no idea

[@charliegalanti8765]

Its 2019 old man there are saws! Are you kidding me

[@blacksheepinthebigshitty9544]

A manual saw is too expensive and it takes forever to cut it. An angle grinder might work, but the diameter of your disc should be large enough for that. And I kinda like to do things with tools that are as primitive as possible (purely mechanical if possible).

[@numberpie]

are you gonna buy me a saw? i can afford a chisel and i already have bricks.

[@b0xing123]

Ha ha fuckin ell you’d make no money

[@numberpie]

its not always about the money, fortunately.
