    Wish your vids had been around when I was a young apprentice back in the day. Passing on tips and experience was not something the older blokes were much good at, so you learned very slowly and sometimes never got to know some of the more efficient ways of doing stuff. You’re a top lad and a very good teacher

    I was the lead man back in the day, but I always started with the corner brick. First time I've seen it done this way.

  • @brimstone260
    @brimstone260 Год назад +8

    Seems like a simple task, but as a stone lad, that corner in brick would take me an hour.
    Loving these schooldays thanks Charlie, the fluency game is what I lack, I can see your vids speeding me up quite a bit in the future when I have to lay brick.

  • @shifty277
    @shifty277 Год назад +9

    Phenomenal video for young lads. You won't build a bang on corner free hand any quicker whilst being as neat as you have just shown in 20 minutes. Great point about chucking the 20+ high courses in the bin too.
    I can see you have your mind on chucking a few videos out for the apprentices/improvers to just condition their thought process when starting a bit of work.
    Well done on the tip to show em about the snots coming back through on to the next course. The Nhbc seem to car more about cavity cleanliness than whether a house was built plumb lol.

      Watch his last video at 19 minutes in. He builds an 11 course corner on a 6 brick garage pillar in 25 minutes.
      Phenomenal. Mans a machine

    С голыми руками и кучами раствора рядом...это не возможно в России, где кладут кирпич полгода при отрицательных температурах. Вы работаете в тепличных условиях, господа! И стена в пол-кирпича-это самая легкая практика для каменщика. Я сейчас при минус 5-8 выкладываю часовню с толщиной стены 77см...
    Английский каменщик просто обкакается в России, а русский в англоязычных странах прекрасно выдержит конкуренцию.

    @colinblythe3710 Год назад +2

    How do you get the block work down under the floor ?? They told us at collage not to get into "corner trouble" by doing the blocks first - stepping them out then the face bricks - is there a faster method like you have done ?? thanks

  • @MartynJones-y7f
    @MartynJones-y7f Год назад +2

    Nice work esp how u picked up the last brick with the trowel 😊 one tip i learnt the hard way might be worth a mention if you are using the level a lot is, as you get higher up i.e brick work higher than the length of yr level, dont lean it on the wall as it can wedge in a bed joint and the flex in the scaffold boards can lift the bricks above, not a massive deal usually just a pain in the ass getting them looking tidy again.
    Keep up the good work found it therapeutic watching and listening to u do that 🥴

  • @liamnellis9567

    • @willbee6785
      @willbee6785 Год назад +2

      All young architects should do this, simply to understand what is achievable throughout their career. This applies to all types of buildings. Trades people are more than happy to help.

    • @joshiechap3572

      ​@@davidwilkinson8958 Nah, everything about Charlie far exceeds Traditional Bricklayer. Charlie's mentality and attitude is far better. Open to learning new methods and techniques, how he sets up, just his all round game is miles a head. Plus Charlie's quality is far better, quicker and more efficient.

    • @stevendunn5430
      @stevendunn5430 Год назад +1

      ​@davidwilkinson8958 the traditional bricklayer is shite!
      Right down in my estimation.
      Start with Charlie from start to end. Once youve watced them all, your half way a bricklayer (providing you already know the basics, level 1)
      Cant go wrong mate!

    Many different ways to build, to build corners. Charlies way is efficient, which the thumbnail says. No wasted movements, no going back and forth.
    Personally wherever possible i always use profiles because its the most efficient and accurate if you know how to set them up properly.
