Hi Andy I'm an old trowel of 71 years still doing a bit your videos are great especially for the young guys,any chance of you doing one on a twisted spiral brick piers for those young brikys out there I think they would appreciate it very much thanks again for all of your great I informative videos.
LBC wire cut is what i know them as, my house is done in them and that the closest i can find.Get the horse feed tubs from mole Valley, the heavy duty ones. I really enjoy the tuck pointing video, i didn't realise it was gone 😢😂
Fonterra wire cuts andy They still make the metric ones at most builders merchants but stopped making the imperial ones a few years ago! I tried everywhere to match those, Tried all over London to find a match, A place in Abbey wood had some but not enough! Ended up using the metrics and bumped up the beds! Not an exact match as the metric ones don't have the deep wires like the imperials, We used them on jack walls in the old days before everything was blockwork, as you can skim to them!
I know everyone is calling them wirecuts as they look like wire cuts, but these are a pressed fletton brick the manufacturing process is completely different from how a wire cut is made. I might have a drive around the estate and see someone is doing a knock through and get a better look at one 😁
@bricklayersworldwithandy6277 They are a flettons andy, Alot of suburban areas of London used these after the second world war ,alot of housing was built with these! I contacted numerous people to try and find them, And that was the name they got back to me with! They are definately a fonterra I built a house in Leyton with the fonterra fletton types in imperial, they only sold that type up north!back in 2014 The ones in your video I tried to match before Xmas and was told that they didn't make these anymore So I used the fonterra fletton wire cuts in metric,
Nice idea for small in and out jobs ready to use cement as all that wastage you get with cement ! How did you like the German trowel ? Tidy neat in and out job ideal in winter Andy cheers for the upload 🍻
I've had this one a while and it's on the way out now but it's done a lot of work, i bought two so I've always got one ready to go if the first one packs up.
Andy, I am not sure I agree with all the comments alluding to "wire-cut" bricks. They are pressed - frogs, which is a different manufacturing process.....as you know. Other than that I`m not too sure.
He did live down there now he's enjoying he's summer Holidays😎😁
Cliff may well have lived down that road Andy but it's no point asking him what those bricks are, he knows fuck all about bricks.

The jung Dusseldorf trowel is probably the most common brick trowel here in Norway too. Very good for brickwork/face work.and working from a tub.
Interesting 👍

Great job...
Aup Andy, what did you think to that trowel?
It was ok maybe a bit small, ime working on a design that you can use better for our brickwork but working our of a tub.
Think we used to call them wire cuts but as for the company not sure good health mate👏
What trowel are you using please
Jung heinkelmann Rhenish/Dusseldorf Mason trowel.
Great vid! I notice you got a whisk from Aldi. I got one too, absolute bargain. I bought it for one job and its still running strong ten years later.
I've had this one a while and it's on the way out now but it's done a lot of work, i bought two so I've always got one ready to go if the first one packs up.
Maybe some of Cliffs skeletons are still inside possiblly in the closet / loft .
Looks like a Marsden valley brick. All the old boys who new the names are no longer with us
Think they are wire cuts
Good evening Andy.
Good evening 👍
TTB will know the name of them brick. His forefathers from the 1700s would have passed that info to him.
Use the eye 👁️
Job done ✔️

Is the irish trowel the one with the handle underneath and blade facing towards you 😂
Tuders I think the bricks are Andy
Andy,
I am not sure I agree with all the comments alluding to "wire-cut" bricks.
They are pressed - frogs, which is a different manufacturing process.....as you know.
Other than that I`m not too sure.
Yes ive already done a vid on it will be posting it later👍
