We've had Lick 'n Stick, Tip 'n Run and Plop 'n Drop to mention a few 😉. However, Pic 'n Dip is the popular style to get 'em down quicker so I've been having a go at it this year. (No expert yet, I hasten to add). Short out to - ruclips.net/user/shortsW-vA-bRsyCM?si=MJ3FmLXXHvbeNJ0z #bricklaying #technique 🧱 @addbrickwork

CHIMNEY REBUILD - Updated and reposted
Просмотров 4,7 тыс.7 месяцев назад
A recent chimney rebuild I did for a mate, the owner of a very successful roofing company FJS - Andy Johnson. The stack was very unstable but has now been rebuilt using new bricks but still incorporating all the original detail. (Please see 'Before and After' pic at the end of video.) #brickwork 🧱 #chimney #rebuild #restoration www.linkedin.com/in/andy-denman-9742798a?

Thanks for that. I assume you mean 190 mm trowel ? 👍
The 10 is for 10 inch. Think 19 is the pattern number. Google Marshalltown 19-10 and you'll see one. Very popular 👍
Still got it Andy nice 1
Cheers mate 👍
Great to see your skills. Any advice for me been in most of the trades for 40 years and have aches in my wrists and thumbs. I think trowel is too big now
@jonmeineck5583 Thanks for the comment. Unfortunately those aches and pains are an occupational hazard and only get worse with age as you said. If you're still bricklaying, a nice little light Marshalltown 19-10 picking up less muck and slowing down a bit is one answer. With me it was just the back which suffered 😩.
Nice job from one andy d to another!
Thanks Andy D 👍
Hi can you share how to make training mortar
Give me a couple of weeks and I'll do a vid on it 👍.
@@addbrickwork I think it's a lime mortar and it can be remixed and re used.
@m101ist Yes, spot on 👍
Really useful demonstration of key trowel techniques for bricklaying. For practice purposes what mortar mix do you use - is it simply sand : lime ( what proportions?) Many thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise!
Thanks for your comment. Yes, it is a weak sand and lime mix, maybe 6/5: 1. We recycle it in a 'mortar mill'. Not bad stuff to use actually.
Awesome, lots of skill in those hands!
Thanks 👍😁. Unfortunately they're getting a bit arthritic now at nearly 69 😉.
Subby corner
Yes 👍😉
Morning Andy saves alot of cutting which is a nightmare hate it 😢ive used the 3 quarter on many job's but fair play to you for showing people the option 👏 it will help loads to a young apprentice 🙏👌👌👍
Thanks for your comment Patrick 👍
12 inch piece..
Yes, in old fashioned money 👍😉😁
Luv ❤️ it mate been brickie 38 years and never heard a Welsh arch and i thought i knew my stuff 😂 keep up the gud work mate 👍 😊
Thanks 😁
Pic and dip 😏
Just having a dabble in my latter years 😉
@ where you based? I need somewhere to practise 😅
@CharlieCollison I'm in Crawley but I'm the one who needs the practice. Come down and do a masterclass for us if you want .... seriously. All the students know about you and I often use your vids in the college.
There was me expecting a miracle 😅
🤣🤣🤣 No, not a miracle but this was for Level 1 students who wouldn't know. Plus, how many blokes actually do it that way on sire ??? It's easier, simple as that.
Hi Andy even after over 52 years in the trade, I'm 68 now I always like to see alternative options, all the best.
@Steviemacdonald6594 Thanks 👍
Nice...
I'm retired now,but never new why most lads on sites just kept cutting loads of 100 mm cuts.Over the years never came across anybody who could show me in construction books with proof or explain the differences in strengths if we 1/4 bonded then changed to half bond instead of half bonds all the time.. Cheers Andy Malcolm from london
Just made sense to me and you still got the perfect half bond. Definitely quicker and easier to.
I showed Lewis this last week coincidentally 😊
Don't see many doing it that way though Mark.
@ you are right, the default is the 4” spacer and I think I do that more often than not but the blocks come in broke a fair bit of the time so I just utilise the breakages
Fair comment 👍
I’ve never done it any other than the 3/4 way and use the cut. I hate to see people sticking commons in each coarse. I’m 37. So young people do know.
@timcartwright4538 Good, glad about that. Just makes sense 👍
I’d just strike the herring bone on cardboard use lines and figure out best looking for the job purpose
Yes, there's different ways, I just put something out there 👍
Nice, you forget about the simple solution on site
No line pins corner blocks
In the other video, Mark, I did one on TOOLS and one on EQUIPMENT 👍.
ruclips.net/video/GEF2ml8tSQs/видео.htmlsi=1dkTKCYECm4ivato
Well done and a good effort. The speed will come with practice and experience. I always used smaller trowels when "picking and dipping" and its important to have your bricks and mortar as close together as is viable - depending on site conditions. So you are picking the brick up at the same time as the mortar - and its becomes one fluid motion onto the wall. The mortar consistency has to be perfect for pick & dip as well. Well done though. 👍😁🧱⚒
Thank you for the comment and advice 👍
If your gonna practice you should start by going forward left to right and the overhand you should go right to left if your going for speed your doing it backwards a bricklayer should be able to lay from each side but if your right handed left to right is going forward I know guys that will spot a twig in the middle of the wall just so we can both go forward left to right I knows your not the only right handed bricklayer that likes going right to left but it is backwards the short super trowel video you posted Charlie and Ash are doing it like I said the reason for that is obvious the girl is going backwards and she has to perp the bricks in her hand
Points taken and you're dead right what you say. Only really been toying with it and felt comfortable laying "arse about face". Just have a go in the workshop when I get time and will try the correct way again for sure. Not out to be Charlie or Ash at my age 😉. Some adult evening class lads ask about it and I really want to be able to demo the technique. (Not something I would get youngsters doing though). Thanks for your comments 👍
@addbrickwork I made the comment before I saw your super trowel video then I edited it to add how the guys were doing it the right way and the girl the wrong way because it was a perfect example of what I was saying
@@richardstetson8221you lay backwards that way you can see down the line and the work you have. If anything is dogging and moved slightly you can see it as you lay.
@man1cs171 Always open to advice 👍
What angle should the cuts be?
45 degree cuts 👍
Charlie's a Machine.!!
Not kidding 👌
Impressive I could do 30 in a minute with empty perps aswell
🤣
Pick and dip will never win. That's what makes Charlie so good, he's not stubborn, and knows what it takes to get the job done. Still wins after dropping the line twice.
Agreed 👍
No one has won the spec mix using pic n dip either if you haven't seen it you should look up the video of Bob Boll at the first spec mix it was called the Bricklaying Olympics he's in the Guinness Book of Word Records
Will have a look 👍
This takes me back to my apprenticeship 😅
😂😂
Happy days, Mr Collison 😂😅
Yes 😁👌. Even after having a mare with the line at the start !!!
These events still offer the old school banter, also the excitement of beating some great brickies..
@user-dd4vu3lw3p Full vid tomorrow 👍
Used it loads
NEAT
Thanks 👍
@@addbrickwork I’m nicking this! When I can’t be bothered to fetch a lintel 🤣
Andy, you are a true Artisan. 👍
Thank you for that comment 👍
Haven't done a Welsh arch for years.
Same as that 👍
Done several of those over the years. My theory on the name is because they say the welsh are tight so this is a quick and very cheap arch to construct . No offence to the Welsh people thou👍
Strong x ❤ that's probably why it's used and I'm not a brickie.
@@matthewdonovan6073 🤣👍
Ty
love it , going outside to make one now :), nice detail for kids play house 🏠
I love the Welsh arch, but I haven't built one since college back in the nineties.
Been a bricklayer for57 years never seen this magic always learning 👌
That’s great mate and probably stronger than a concrete beam. Thanks for sharing that.
That’s bro
That’s brilliant
Nice idea, but most of the video was of your arse! Better camera angle required me thinks!
Point taken 😂. Just a beginner at this really. At least the "crack" wasn't showing 😉. Thanks for the comment though 🙏.

Have @Wonderful New Year's!//thanks
??? Thanks anyway 🙏😂
😂 brilliant one that
Them Romans taught the welsh summut ir did the welsh nick it 😂
your mum taught them
@user-dr7zq5wy6k Maybe me Dad did, but don't bring me Mum into it please fella 😉.
Sid should remember them, they're something you don't see or hear about anymore with ONLY 2 references on Google images.
I’ve never seen that before very similar to splicing timbers to create a joint and I’ve never heard of a Welsh 🏴 Arch. I will forward this onto Sid I’m sure he will find it interesting 😂.
Very good I find it all interesting good day yesterday the FA Cup Final was good ended up in The Merstham Village Club in the evening one of my old haunts in Merstham. Head down now for six weeks and back to school 🏫 I’m actually looking forward to it I’ve got a feeling this could lead onto good things in my future .
Did Sid build that ?
🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for the info
Hope it helped. People have slightly different ideas on this, but I stick with what I put in the description - W G Nash 👍.
Good investment for future generations!thanks for the upload and explaining all the details,its fascinating for layman.
Thanks for the positive comment 👌
What’s the reason for the lead half way up ?
Links in with the back gutter tray and also prevents damp penetrating downwards into the building. Some chimneys would also have a lower one 225 above the roof line at the front. Most old ones had nothing 😱
