Great video. In my young days contracting I trained up several good bricklayers having them spread out and butter brick. Now some 25 years later Ive learned how to master the pic and dip technique. Im getting 1000 a day everyday no sweat by myself with a laborer. Try the technique out I think you'll find out why all the ancient masons laid this way IE German & Dutch. The key is having a small trowel and only spread enough mud for a bed and shove a full head. Telling ya its fast!!
im in the us we dont do that but ive been applying it when i can. without having to furrow {technically your not supposed to but we do} the bed joint it can be quicker but much harder to get in rhythm and working with multiple men on the line if we all pick an dipped the line would be all over the place. the pace of work is a bit diff in us lol pick an dip deff best if your the only one on the line
@@TheMrmodernmonkey I am in the US Upstate New York and I do not touch the line at all when pick and dipping. I really should post a video of my technique.. It does take some time to convert from so called traditional method of spreading, furrowing and buttering each brick. If you think about how many moves it takes to first spread then furrow and then walk back to the start and butter each brick. By the time you spread your wall out, I am putting the line up again. Its that much faster. I am spreading and perping the head in the same motion. Typically I will with my left hand, since I am a south paw, scoop just enough mud for 1 bed & 1 head while my right hand is simultaneously grabbing and flip rotating the brick to go in the wall. As soon as I throw the bed down immediately I lay the brick shoving the mud into a full headjoint. With some of these brick we have been laying lately you cant even spread the wall because the brick are so dry they suck the life right out of the mud and then you become a brick tapper instead of a bricklayer lol. To each there own lol. Its just what I have found works well consistently for me. Once you become fluent with the technique your daily count will increase by quite alot.
Dear Ryan, impressive as always ...😊 ... but: what is the meaning of these bricks with one corner left out? Are they meant for special locations to circumnavigate i.e. pipes or steels? BR from Germany Wolfram
@@sebg2086 ya I’ve been in this trade for about 27 years and I’d say 70 % of masons are just not good. Training is a joke and contractors just don’t give guys a chance to learn. Not good for the trade.
1000 brick a day is ridiculous I have heard many guys say it then we count and it’s actually around 550-700. I lay around 600-750 bricks a day and that’s with 2 labours, only myself on the wall at all times everyday all day myself and 2 labours and stone I lay around 150 sq ft a day for permacon but I would assume that’s about average with 2 labours for 1 guy
Don’t you know as a bricklayer you cannot ‘ tooth out’ a corner like that. It compromises the structural integrity of the building. I was told that as an apprentice wasn’t you?

@@joeyf150blacksunshine7 did you notice?
@@sebg2086 ya wasn’t to bad I’ve seen worse. I’m more concerned with the heavy breathing sounds rough. Lol

Absolutely correct
It’s fine to do if you know how to do it right, that’s how we do it here in Canada in most cases
we tooth out like this in the US as well
In the uk building code BS8000 part c it states that brickwork should be racked back on corners and not toothed out.
We’re not in the uk every country, have different building code
