Thank-you for taking the time to make these excellent video's. I'm going to try and build a wains-cote on the side of our house, and your exclamation of detail is exactly what I needed. I hope you won't be offended by this, but you look a lot like the actor Lloyd Bridges who played in the 1958 series Sea Hunt , which I use to watch when I was a kid.
Way too much mullet. I cN tell they didnt give a fuck about people's houses back then. No water proofing bahahaha. What's up with using a tape to mark the pole? I use a brick ruler. I used a tape before. The existing house laid on 3 3/16. It was a bitch to mark so I checked it on the veneer? I laid the foundation on 3 and 3/16. I kept getting off after several courses. I had to mark 3 or 4 off at a time, because of that. When I got to the veneer I checked it and made it work out every few courses. God that was so much easier. My Forman over thinks and had me marking it with a tape and shit. ..no good... He didn't tie the peir and curtin wall with beick ever 6 courses. He told me to put fucking wall ties in it. It failed inspection. I had to take the piers down saw the brick out and rebuild them so they tied in. He ran the brick up past floor height. I asked him how they were going to flash it. Ended up tearing that down to. The damn vents wouldn't open. I told him and he said it didnt matter. Needles to say I had to saw that off and drop the vents down. He is still a Forman. Idk why our supervisor let's him keep his job. We did a foundation and he shot ever wall. I marked the height. Everyone of those walls were out of level. It fucked the peers up. I had to saw the tops of the peirs and add a block...to everyone. Over 40 piers. A week later we were building Kevin Harvicks house. He got the back wall 2 inches low, he shot the damn wall. He made me saw that out and after I got everything ready to fix he came over there and tried to lay. This dude is late every day, he doesn't work... last week we ran columns up for a privacy fence. It had a radius rake. He went and built a fucking form. It looked all fucked up. Me and my dad built the other side with a level. We had the shit finished before he got the form on. Then made us set scaffold up on the back side of the wall, full of poison oak. I got moved to another crew thank goodness. However our crew went out of town Nd me and my dad didnt want to go. We got put with my old Forman. His laborer gets by with being lazy while he dogged me and my dad. Dude wouldn't shake mud up. He would give us old mud in our pants before shaking it up. Me and my dad had to stack out all our material and everything. He had all week to cleanup the job and didnt. It looked like someone dropped a bomb on our job. I had to clean the job up.
I personally think the lead is easier than all that pole stuff. The object is to lay bricks and laying the lead is just that. But will a fresh laid brick hold the string
I sometimes use my old levels as a profile to duplicate the method in the video but I love building leads also, I do whatever is easy at the time of building a wall
So, I am getting rdy to lay some brick veneer inside my house. I have a wall turned on a 45°, and the wall to the right has the 45° corner. The wall to left turns back at a 90° angle to form one side of a hallway. Any have a good idea how to brick 2 walls with a 45° corner?
Story Poles have been around since the great Pyramids of Egypt were constructed.. They used Story Poles.. INTERESTING FACT.. Still Standing Today. & Hyper Accuracy in the laying of masonry units!
getAMCI If you look close there are wall ties. As for the waterproof wrapping it really should have had it, but back it the 80's when this was filmed it wasn't required.
He is absolutely right , it's better to use a profile out of wood … it's nicer to work with ,more ways to set it up because you can hammer a nail in it
House is fine 30 years in the second driest state of the nation. In 89 it was the home owners choice and this one they decided to skip it. By todays standards though it would be required.
I have worked on sites in uk Ireland never saw any of these contraptions , I just can't see why you would need this items or that approach , 90 degrees is not that hard
Your right its not that hard, this just makes it a faster and more stream lined process so you don't have to constantly build a lead. You mark the pole and use a line block and line and smack those suckers in and get your job done a lot faster.
Damn!!! That scratch joint is about an inch deep! I haven't used a scratcher in years, worst joint there is. You put all that mortar down just to take it out, it's insanity!!! Weakest joint too!!! But I do like to recycle brick that have a scratch joint, easy chiselling
I don’t see on that wall There nothing on the plywood And no wall ties if you Going to make a masonry Video please do it right or Don’t do it you have a lot To learn I’m sorry to say

This guy & his videos are great for the learning & novice.
Filmed in 1980 and still a great video. Thank you for sharing

1 inch airspace is important
power mullet at 4:41

Watch the laborer working in the very back. You will see what I'm talking about.

a good road sign pole and some L brackets work great out if you don't have a pole a 1.5 in peace of angle message a good corner pole also
I personally think the lead is easier than all that pole stuff. The object is to lay bricks and laying the lead is just that. But will a fresh laid brick hold the string
Very nice
I sometimes use my old levels as a profile to duplicate the method in the video but I love building leads also, I do whatever is easy at the time of building a wall
what does he need a tuba for?
James Prom
😂😂😂
Lol 😂 😂😂😂tuba for 😂
LMAO
Went through the video looking for the tuba. :D 2x4
Hi how are you? How do you tuckpointing a brick front porch wing wall?
I love all the masons with Mullets in his vids! Rock it man 🤙🏼
The speed pole is the greatest thing invented!
How to remove the corner pole that was nailed in? Wouldn't wood screws have made more sense? Same goes for other temporary guides.
+P. Schouten You just pry the nails out, its not that hard. You could use screws if you like, its up to you.
+Learn To Lay Brick plus I think this videos like from the 80s
Yeah, but masonry/bricklaying has practically stayed the same since the pyramids.
so has pricing! Tuff to make a good living doing masonry these days.
You don't remove,that is why it is thin,stays behind wall.
good job

Leave enough room behind the existing wall and it shouldnt be a problem.
How did it go?
In a sense I love the ease of speed leads and corner poles but, at the same time less and less of these boots can build a lead.
Yes in reply to your last comment you do make some great sense , but I just have never seen this system, sorry if I my tone was a bit harsh.
I have never seen a professional masonry crew NOT USE THE LINE! BLOCK, BRICK, STONE, All Crews I have seen use this.
Story Poles have been around since the great Pyramids of Egypt were constructed.. They used Story Poles.. INTERESTING FACT.. Still Standing Today. & Hyper Accuracy in the laying of masonry units!

Could you please post a video on how to tie in a 45 degree block wall to a 90 degree wall please.
Nick o Just posted this one ua-cam.com/video/iF4cBc1Ac4Q/v-deo.html Not sure if it is exactly what you are looking for, but hopefully it helps.
Lecarn To Lay Bric2
Great
Ideally 4.25 to 4.5 for modular brick 3.5 to 3.75 for queen distance from wall,unless you need to match up to what fascia board is set out.
Good video except, what about wrapping and wall ties, don't they use it on this house?
getAMCI If you look close there are wall ties. As for the waterproof wrapping it really should have had it, but back it the 80's when this was filmed it wasn't required.
He is absolutely right , it's better to use a profile out of wood … it's nicer to work with ,more ways to set it up because you can hammer a nail in it
Where is this??
Good clip
God I miss the 80s
A tuba for!
🤣
Where is the Vapour Barrier ?? Big problems coming after a few years

The poles allow masons in the same time to lay 10 bricks to each 2 laid with the the leads..{ corners } That's 80% faster!
Bill K
But then you have 3 masons waiting on you. Just put up your poles and everybody will lay same amount of bricks. Faster. Try it.
10:10 He's hit that thumb with a hammer a few times, I bet
where the hell is the tyvek that goes over the plywood? lol
MrPatrickedwards didn't have tyveck back than I reckon
ye no vapour barrier, surely they had some form of barrier paper back then
Used roll roofing back then or nothing,been at it since late 70s
Never seen speed post that look like this
Just leave the internal timber tacked. Can be a pain to take them out afterward
Where is your vapor barrier you got Are you even using wall ties
Damn!!! That scratch joint is about an inch deep! I haven't used a scratcher in years, worst joint there is. You put all that mortar down just to take it out, it's insanity!!! Weakest joint too!!! But I do like to recycle brick that have a scratch joint, easy chiselling
Could build corner by time you messed about
This must old did you see that guys mullet and yellow Mazda
Its called building a corner
And the "corner poles" are called profiles
Its called working smart, maybe give it a try sometime.
Bernard Loser...oh ok my bad, i should've realised you and this guy are probably a couple! More power to you. 😁 i don't discriminate
tuba 4
just my opinion, words of a brick layer
nice job you didn't mention they make inside corners for the aluminum poles
on a footnote your labor was only using one brick tong lol
If the corner pole is bent then your wall will be bent too.
At 7.50....that's some iffy bricklaying in the background - or dodgy bricks!
FINGERRRS!!
You are missing my craft paper on the wood will and that it is not to good Mr
where the fucks the tar paper?!?!?!?
Man I bet you get sick of people asking about house wrap and tar paper
Or how he'd be thrown off a job site in the UK
Real brick layers don't were gloves ...
or use a trowel and level, cuts dry, and wipes his ass with grout stop.
Shit, try not using gloves when you gotta lay that brown 12 inch split face block, I dare you.
Aint he cute
brix not brick
yeah ok , youre right
I don’t see on that wall
There nothing on the plywood
And no wall ties if you
Going to make a masonry
Video please do it right or
Don’t do it you have a lot
To learn I’m sorry to say
says the guy with zero videos uploaded. Keep commenting on things you know nothing about, keyboard cowboy.
I’m the real deal
Not a scab that’s
Scab work I’m sorry
You can’t use dummy
Poles
Laying Bricks plural :-) Just saying....
Close up of brickwork at 9.15. Bloody terrible. Mate you'd be thrown off site in the U.K.
Marcus Davison, they are raked out, and brick are shaped funny anyway.
Come on man
That called a
Dummy pole
We can’t use that here
This all wrong guy
efficiency is dumb? work smarter not harder. Granted a lot has changed in the trade in 40 years.
Build a damn lead!
No need for any of this nonsense
Thanks for sharing! How do you do your corners?

They don't like it cuz they don't know how.
Story poles ARE FASTER!!
I disagree. Story poles make a huge difference. Much, much faster than building leads.
I like speed leeds, we just have to not to forget that wall's tend to fall out slightly.
