Nice,……before taking them down loosen the bottom screw half a turn to prevent chipped bricks,then next time you always screw to tighten,not unscrew to loosen… Great tip,l never bother with the square plate to stabilise
Had mine 35 years and still love em . I like the wedge tip and I’m the same , a little push and hand tighten them 👌🏼 We have the magnetic level too it’s like an extra hand 🖐🏼 . When we take ours down we do the opposite ( slacken the stabilisers them a little push and loosen the bottom screws then everything pops out lovely. Great no nonsense video 👌🏼🧱👍🏽
Nice video fella! Very good tip with the datum and that little wedge!! Might get some now..great video! I've only got straight box section..but use them paired with Rhino Blocks (Dori blocks) almost the same thing😉👌
I find the Blake's better though I have both, the bonus of Blake's is being able to joint behind them and not needing all the top clamps etc if you use the stabalisers properly. 👍
Again brilliant! Wat I was doing , was holding the part where u put it in the brickwork tight in the bolt a few turns more and put them both in at same time ! But sometimes I fuck it up 😂
To get the profile squared up, a good tip is to run a course round the plot, but leave the corner bricks off. Then set up your line on the line clips and you can get the profile bang on lined in and square
What do you think of Charlie’s new blakes stabiliser? Good idea, i usally go block first and gallow bracket top of blake of block. Good for if you got to do brick first tho andy aint it👌🏻
More you use them the easier it gets, you slightly offset the profile when you put the first clamp on, the wedge then stops that from falling out and when you bang the second clamp in it pulls it square.
No i forgot, but mentioned it in the comments, there is another vid somewhere where i show it. New profiles coming out soon which i will be demonstrating which are self squaring👍
@@bricklayersworldwithandy6277 keep going buddy, love what you stand for. No ego just trying to help and for the up and coming brickies is perfect, I try to help myself, seems to be a lot of egos but I really don’t know why with some of them 😂

@@bricklayersworldwithandy6277 yeah I am traditionalist and unfortunately don’t seem to get as much of the skilled stuff as I’d like but got a few decent ones coming up hopefully, got a dovecot to build which I’m really looking forward to doing.

Yes I forgot to explain that in vid but did mention it in the comments if I remember correctly. I can set them up by eye before I tap the clamp in and they are generally spot on square 👍
No favouritism here as I think Blakes are the best on the market and have stood the test of time untill now nothing better but I have to he honest Richards are better.
As far as I can make out , 3 other companies besides Blake’s make the Blake’s type profiles , I think they might be a bit concerned about losing out when the fitzbrick profiles come on the market . The fitzbrick profiles look like Blake’s on steroids . I was thinking about getting the Blake’s type that Faithfull tools sell .

@@bricklayersworldwithandy6277 i don’t think either one of them look complicated to set up .but if I had to pick one richards look the least complicated to set up .
Me again, just spent £400 odd on some new ones, but seems whenever we get to the next lift, we plum them up, and the lines are always running 2-5mm in towards the brick…I’ve always been told you shouldn’t adjust that top setting screw? Do you adjust them? Any help would be lovely me old mate?
@@bricklayersworldwithandy6277 in the southwest, it really is bizarre, it happened a few times with the last set, hence why we got new ones, sometimes it will run through lovely but the last couple times it doesn’t run through right and we’ve had to stick a packer in behind the brick and the setting screw to bring the line out, to avoid tipping the brick back
@@bricklayersworldwithandy6277 Yeah I always check for square, with the level, you got any tips on making sure it’s 100% square tho? Maybe I need to invest in a magnetic level
@@bricklayersworldwithandy6277 we cant use them top of wall we have to wait for them to get better ones in. Im doing a nice rag stone plot at the moment
This guy is so informative, no bollocks knows the score very good 👏

Great Vid Andy 👍🏻👍🏻 video quality looks Great
Thanks Kurt 👍
Another top video no bullshit, proper job
Nice,……before taking them down loosen the bottom screw half a turn to prevent chipped bricks,then next time you always screw to tighten,not unscrew to loosen… Great tip,l never bother with the square plate to stabilise
i don't bother, just build corner freehand and hey presto!
No fucking about👍🍺
love your video's- full of knowledge and learning with a "get on with it" attitude.
quickly becoming my favourite bricky channel- keep it up
I've got no interest at all in building, but I can't stop watching these videos 🤣.

Thanks Steve 👍
ive always struggled with them ...looking foreword to having a go now ..thanks for the video
Simple good tips from the pros, no better chance in life to learn something new every day.
I normally ask Blake firstly if I can borrow his profiles then ask Blake to hold them still while I build…
Nice video fella! Very good tip with the datum and that little wedge!! Might get some now..great video! I've only got straight box section..but use them paired with Rhino Blocks (Dori blocks) almost the same thing😉👌

@@bricklayersworldwithandy6277 I'll get some👍👌
Easiest way is chop the ends off!! Everyone I know who bought blakes chopped the ends off 😂
Used Blake’s for over 20 years another tip is always make sure the profile is square to the wall or there will be a lip on the new brickwork
Yea I meant to show how to do that by running the level along the face of the wall but forgot 😁👍
Wedge ……a lovely tip mate! 👍🏻

Good idea 👍
Another good tip.....sprint the screws round on the stabilisers so you can adjust with a screw driver and don't have the line mega tight.!
You’re a smart old dude 👍🏻 thanks for the tips mate covered everything
Good video mate totally agree with pluming before putting it on makes it so much easier ! Only thing I ask is why didn’t you square the profile in ?
I forgot but have mentioned it in the comments and my next video 👍
@@bricklayersworldwithandy6277 👍🏼nice one look forward to seeing more
As well as being a very skilled bricklayer you're a Spurs fan too ? I just noticed the tattoo . Coys

Yea they look good will give them a go.
Make sure you protect your head with sun cream, like I do mine. My head is not as beautifully shaped as yours.
Factor 50 slapped on it every day 👍
Any tips on getting them square easier without the bastards flying out
More you use them the easier it gets, you slightly offset the profile when you put the first clamp on, the wedge then stops that from falling out and when you bang the second clamp in it pulls it square.
Brilliant tips thankyou
I much prefer Blake’s myself 😊 did you eye it for square ?

@@bricklayersworldwithandy6277 and thank you
Just found you and subbed 👌
Love the wedge of wood 😎 legend!
I thought u had to tighten and slacken the clamps to range the profile using your level so it sits square with the course below ?
Yes I forgot to explain that in vid but did mention it in the comments if I remember correctly. I can set them up by eye before I tap the clamp in and they are generally spot on square 👍
Nice vids - keep going. Had a look at brickie bits as well. Haven’t watched all your vids yet so not sure if they’ve passed a discount code to you ?
Good explanation.
What is that thing you first use to prop up the profile ? That goes over the top ?
don't know what it's called just comes with the the kit, have a look on Blakes profiles Website or Ebay
Quality 🧱
Top banana Andy, got to set these up tomorrow for the first time..
Cheers
Your going to buy a profile set up and you have narrowed it down to Blake’s or richards new set up what are you going for Andy .
No favouritism here as I think Blakes are the best on the market and have stood the test of time untill now nothing better but I have to he honest Richards are better.

is there a better profile or are these the best
Every bricklayer has their preferances, for me Blake's but I use posts as well depending on the situation 👍
How was the walk up the mountain?
Hard 👍
What part of the country you in mate?
N.London/ East Herts
Absolutely amazing demo 🤙🤙🤙
When were these made , that is some old technology ,I think the wheel barrow is later than that
Think they were invented 1969.
We use 40 mil profiles, much better less bulky and less stuff in your way
