It's possible to do it for an hour with everything set up right but to continuously keep it up you'd need a wall a mile long . Plus he didn't say he can lay 500 every hour everyday.
Decent brickwork! If I lay like that my boss will be upset at me as one side of the brick is higher than the line. After the bricks are clean you will see it
Even on a straight retainer wall you would be hard pushed to lay any where near 4k bricks a day let alone site work with corners and window and door openings ? 8 hr shift averaging 8-9 bricks a minute impossible?
i worked for a joiner once with a little building business, he thought one bloke alone single handed should do what would take a full squad a couple of weeks to do in a couple of days, never again
Most brickies could lay 4 to 500 brick in an hour if the corners were already up and they could plough them in to the line on a strait run with no window or door openings and they had a good labourer keeping them on brick and gobo but what they don't account for and show in the videos is the setting out and actually putting the corners up! When someone does a video showing they can lay 500 brick an hour starting fresh from slab level putting up corners and measuring and setting out the window/door openings etc then I'll believe and gladly give credit we're credit is due!
My dad was a bricklayer. I worked for him in summers till I was done school and went on to other things. Those years taught me all about hard work. If I laid 500 bricks in A DAY that was a lot.
Nice work. And don't get me wrong, I'm not 'having a go', but there is a problem. Everyone and their dog is producing videos like this and no one is disputing that you laid 510 bricks in an hour. The problem is perception, by that I mean how the uninitiated (and some that should know better) view said content. They see videos like this and believe the hype. You said you average 500 per hour which means 4000 bricks a day. Oh, and that is every single day because you used the word 'average'. Now you and me know it's not possible, but they don't. And oh boy will they let you know, often, and at length. I've been on the trowel for 37 years and I'd be fully retired by now if I had a quid for every time some wally tells me I should be pissing a thousand bricks a day down or I'm not a proper bricklayer. Bollocks to the fact that their little extension is around the back of some terrace and their are a hundred other considerations in between the job and a good end product. Try pricing work when the client thinks you can lay thousands of bricks a day... Okay, moan over, as you were lol! ;-)
At that slow lazy pace I guarantee you ain't even close to laying 500 an hour. .. You LIE, Boy!!😅.... I was gonna say, yeah, it ain't hard to lay a couple thousand on a double wyth garden wall, but hell you ain't even doing that. .. Stop LYING, Boy!!
Back in the day windows were laid below grade as an egress " a way out" from the basement. I've had to put a ladder built into the brick, backed by block. Of course these are only on high ground and always had a drain to get rid of any water that might get into the hole.
Why aren't you buttering your head joint? Never in my life seen anybody lay brick like that. I guess you like tuckpointing before you strike. Full head joints make for a good leak proof wall.
I've done bricklaying, and it's not for the weak or lazy; it's hard, demanding work, ESPECIALLY when you're on your knees, in the heat of Summer. I did it for a short time, while I was going to college, learning various IT related skills, and now I work at a desk, in an air conditioned office, on a computer, in a nice chair, with beverages and snacks, (making more money) remembering the time I had a much more "manly job" and being very glad I'm not doing it any more.

17 bricks in 2 min? do the maths. Moving fast is not the same as actually going fast. He makes few movements and doesn't make mistakes, says a guy who works on an assembly line.

@@kurtmalpassbrickwork6255 hi kurt , wow that’s over £4K a week for urself, much tax on that? Not much brick across the water in ROI🇨🇮 mainly heavy concrete blocks so harder to generate those numbers, keep up the good work 👍
14 bricks in 1 minute without the bed been put out( i timed it its not hard ) very possible i believe you. Some people just don't know what the fuck there going on about. Good work mate. Oh 14 bricks a minute × 60 is 840 an hour take some off for the bed and you ate not far off 😉

@@jamietwigg5152 no he 100% isn't laying 500 an hour, but depending on setting up lines and profiles and what he's running in, he could get to 1000 a day on site especially whilst using pick and dip.
I agree with handycrowd, all this hype about 4000 bricks a day is nonsense. When surveyors/site managers/project managers see this hyped up bs they think bricklayers are earning far more than they actually are. They price with reluctance
As a Bricky and looking at the way and speed you lay, you are an average to good Bricky no way are you laying 500 bricks an hour, not on those small runs you ain’t.
If you think that’s good . The future is fbr robotics Hadrian x ( 500 bricks an hour , and each block is 10 times a standard brick … don’t think that’s true( UA-cam fbr !! Well done the Aussies
2 min video 17 bricks (8.5 bricks in one min) 7hours work (1hour break time) it’s mean 420 minutes 420x8.5=3570 briks a day Well done mate u fast 👏🏽 (I can lay thousand or max 1.2 no more)
So a house with 6,000 bricks would take a day and a half spent 54 years at it and never seen it done.
Exactly
It's possible to do it for an hour with everything set up right but to continuously keep it up you'd need a wall a mile long .
Plus he didn't say he can lay 500 every hour everyday.
What about actually buttering the end of the brick properly ?
He seems to be using the excess on the line to mush it onto the side. Not as effective, but more efficient ig
@@ChexNyx it's gonna be a problem when he comes to jointing it, especially if it's raked and flat joined then he's gonna suffer

the 2 first brick is good......the 3 after are tiping....the next 2 are over the line......i had to stop watching after that

I've been doing it a long time and you would have to go a little bit quicker than he is to lay 500 an hour
Well about nine a minute speed in video makes it seem possible 😆
He layed 16 bricks in 2 mins which is 480 bricks an hour. But no one is keeping that up all day. Jumping around setting up else where so on.
i worked for a joiner once with a little building business, he thought one bloke alone single handed should do what would take a full squad a couple of weeks to do in a couple of days, never again
Lookin at some of the unfilled grout areas like "how long he spend spoonin in that mortar.. thats on the clock"

Not hitting the sides of the brick is leaving behind cracks and spaces.
Do discussion about jointing either.
No flashing, vents, weeps, insulation, anchors, rough terrain, electrical boxes, plumbing fixtures, saw cuts, fancy designs etc.
Ill out lay these boys.

Is that a Sunday lunch 3rd course down from top?
Good 👍
So you left them un-tooled? 😆
How about striking, building leads, cutting, laying or cutting mesh or anchors...?
Yeah those are never took into consideration
also jointing,maybe raking, brushing, cleaning
Or filling the joints right or laying them level even 😂
Why grab a brick halfway through spread. If you can call that a spread. He's just dropping mud.
Try again
Why do people lie, simply do the maths, that's a brick every 7seconds including spreading the mortar, you missed out the spreading
You made that look so easy and fast amazing. I do have one question, do masons ever make full size windows below ground level, and if so why?
Back in the day windows were laid below grade as an egress " a way out" from the basement. I've had to put a ladder built into the brick, backed by block. Of course these are only on high ground and always had a drain to get rid of any water that might get into the hole.
Be real with yourself no one lays 500 bricks a hour, maybe you meant 500 for the day
Why aren't you buttering your head joint? Never in my life seen anybody lay brick like that. I guess you like tuckpointing before you strike. Full head joints make for a good leak proof wall.
It’s called pick and dip it’s a German way of laying, the next bed helps to create a full joint also
@@kurtmalpassbrickwork6255 No compression like bed joint so variable erosion & sounds like you are hoping your perps are filled.
That ain’t pick and dip mate
He could butter the end with the excess on the trowel but he throws it back on the board.

Muito bom bem feito seu trabalho

At the speed he’s going! Not a chance!
Do the maths he layed 16 bricks in 2 mins which is 480 an hour 😂. Although I doubt he can keep that up all day.
No waaayyy! Even on a solid wall such as a gym, a really good bricklayer may lay 1000 per day.
A brick every 7 seconds. Including mixing and applying your mortar. Yeah right.
2 days to lay 12,500 bricks, how much for the bricks and motor, without wages?
