True so many big companies will use young people as slave labour then your middle aged blokes with gold dust contracts act like they’ve got attitude issues. Mate of mine secured what he thought was a promising job for life at Network rail, worked his arse off on peanuts for a few years only to get thrown away with the others a few weeks before graduating. You’d be surprised how much a young enthusiastic person will work for you if they can trust you.
It's mostly U grade students & Foriegn Labour who do these jobs From about 1990 until a couple of years ago It waa unheard of getting an A* star to do a job like this now with the lack of interest in the arts This could be the awnser for many people
Charlie is a true professional. Proper geezer that knows exactly how to make money on site. No danger your on hourly rate at that speed & dedicated work ethic bro. 🧱✌️🧱 💰
I am not a brickie but I could watch you for hours I watch every one of your videos have done from day one. I bet Tyler wonders what’s hit him today , nice to see young lads getting on with it doing as their asked without any drama. Not seen your dad on your videos for a while has he retired.
Points for you on that charlie good to see you checking up on your workers making sure that thay are doing the work the right way keep up the good work
Fair play spending time with the apprentice i did me level 3 nvq but was never given the time of day to lay after that in my 30s now would love to give it another crack
ITS ACTUALLY THERAPEUTIC WATCHING THESE VIDEOS! A LOT OF PEOPLE DOMT REALLY SEE THE WORK, EFFORT AND SKILL THAT GOES IN AND IS REQUIRED TO DO THESE JOBS - IT IS AN ART KEEPING EVERYTHING LEVEL, SQUARE & NEAT. IVE WORKED WITH LOTS OF TRADESPEOPLE AND THIS GUY IS A PRO! VERY NEAT, TIDY & EXPERIENCED! KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING! SOME ARCHWAYS BE NICE TO SEE IF ANY AVAILABLE!
Nice work, ethics, don't abuse your apprentices or there won't be any apprentices. Hard enough to get good help ,hire apprentices, raise your own good help.
Exactly. These people wonder why there aren’t enough young people learning trades and put it all down to youngsters having no graft when they won’t lift a finger to teach them. A good apprentice will work hard for you so long as they can trust you with their future.
I used to be a Journeyman Sheet Metal Mechanic. Ended up having to work at a metal fabrication shop when I could find no other work. I was amazed by my lack of skills and knowledge when I found out how little pay I was being offered. Sure was good at pulling welding cables on job sites.
545 approximately,good content Charlie and good work advice for apprentices,I am a panelbeater and my bosses thru me straight in to it too,first year I was cut and shunting cars together, although they are 2 different trades the learning aspect is still the same cobber,cheers cuzzy from NZ ,I don't know wat it is but I could watch you lay bricks all-day and I'm not a weirdo,Amy is a awesome cook and good on her for learning the trade,your girl is a cutie she's going to have your humour I'm sure of that,when U told her to say piss off reminded me of my nephew's and nieces picking up on the adults bad language,😂
fair play putting up with the young apprentices its hard to stay calm with them sometimes 16:07 made me laugh he could have handed the brick to you but dumped it into the muck and youve just lobbed it on the floor hahaha fair play id lose the plot haha
I half get one he’s saying with traditional bricklayer, but let’s not forget Charlie is throwing them in, and his apprentice will not be around in 6 months. Traditional bricklayers lad will more likely stay with his dad.
Hopefully he does, he should learn what he can from Charlie. I’ve got both my lads working with me, ones now laying, the other started around a month ago he’s now spreading and understanding how to use the trowel.
I got into bricklaying because of the 3 day week 😂😂😂.... I'd heard the wrap tent scaffold thingy costs 35 thou....I asked a contracts manager ( Redrow) about it....he didn't even reply , then walked off...... probably to the golf course......😮😮😮
Hi Charlie what do you think about getting a hod carrier to lay some bricks when have some time to spare? Bit older now don’t think I could afford apprenticeship route. Cheers 👍
Love the videos. Just a question or two. Why are the corners doubled up like that? And 2 what’s the difference between a bod carrier and an apprentice?
@@CharlieCollisonnot much brick work here in Florida. I’ve bricked 2 houses in my 20+ year career. A lot of block here and the garage lintels we set here are a bear.
A hod carrier is what they call a laborer an apprentice is someone they are teaching to lay bricks alot of times the apprentice has to do some laborer work
@CharlieCollison I still don't get that why it takes more than one masonry contractor to build a house I've never been on a job like that where I live in the US where I build half the house and someone else finishes it
You're going to spend more time jointing in all those holes full perps mate show the kid the professional way..he laid two brick and he has big perps..watch your bond mate
First person to tell me how many bricks was laid in this video I’ll send £100 to 😘
854
621
986
898 bang on
978
Finally someone who knows how to train the apprentice rather than using them as cheap labour

This guy is just too good to be true, anyone who worked in construction knows how profesional and skilled this man is. My respect bro keep it up

Its a real pleasure to watch someone who knows and enjoys his trade.
It’s so cool watching different masons around the globe and their different set ups/ methods. Great video Charlie.
Great video Charlie great way to teach your apprentice he’s lucky to be learning from the best in the country

Вот это я понимаю уровень экстра класса, не то что наши каменщики, успехов тебе Чарли во всех сферах жизни)))))
Привет. Из наших нивка смотрю
Quality fella how you speak and advise people just isn't the norm out their , firm but fair , prefer this style of vid too 👌

“Looks alright from my house” is my favourite saying at work 😂 just seems to go over 90% of peoples heads 🙈
Where I live in the US it's a pretty common saying
I could watch your for hours laying brick you probability think i am bonkers but I find it relaxing
I don't know how it works today, but the CITB used to come on site to check how apprentices were being taught. This is 40 yrs ago, mind!
Yeah, same with EITB in my training
Just watched your video on building a 7 high corner your technique neatness speed and eye for plumbing is brilliant enjoy your vids and your knowledge

Everything you said was spot on! Your a very good mentor and boss. My guess Your brick count was 500 bricks in the video.
The 1 hour long episodes are back 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Fare play Charlie, absolutely chucked them in! Its easy to watch and hard to do. I guess 420 bricks in that video.

Great to see you all working as a great team team work is dream work about 750
Speed is unreal, just sometimes perps aren’t full
That pipe getting so close to your face when reaching for the next brick, I was like worried the whole vid! lmao

Site work is amazing
Fair play Charlie 👍
On fire today “Turbo “! Great video
Good to see these kids going into the trades 👍
I can't stop laughing at you saying it looks like a bit of cardboard was that your tea by any chance
Blasting them bigman the ox blue rubber corner blocks good Charlie. Them bumpy surfaces nae good for hard plastic corner blocks.
i was working out you were doing 15 bricks a minute £9 a minute haha. absolutely inspiring . legend
That is mad
Charlie it hasn't loaded fully, I had 12 seconds of a black screen
Full perps please MR C. No tip und tuck 😂 Top lad
slapping them in well good,you need to win the special comp in the usa
Charlie collision youre a legend😊
I did pick and dip the other day and I must say after 10 mins or trying I was flying. 😊
Great video charlie,great to see ya teaching another 1 a great trade❤
😱😳 you are so fast , My head is bowed
Full joints Charlie please and no tipping
You can lay twice the amount by cutting corners. Do that with me and you're knocking down the wall and rebuilding it for free.
@@gteaz Someone who actually makes a sensable comment, most of these folk in the comments musnt not have laid a single brick in their lives. SMH 🙄🙄
Guy's back is unbelievable.
My first boss taught me to graft Charlie,45 years ago. Still Mates now.
Ammy a good cook
152 in first gable, 132 in pillar/gable 4 half’s in pillar also and 6 wall ties 👌 how long were you working for in total mate? 😆
fair play putting up with the young apprentices its hard to stay calm with them sometimes 16:07 made me laugh he could have handed the brick to you but dumped it into the muck and youve just lobbed it on the floor hahaha fair play id lose the plot haha
284 Bricks, or 283 brick and a half if your feeling precise 👍🤣
Fantastic work Charlie
Nice one Charlie lad get um on that trowel great watch 🙂✌️
Brilliant vid mate,and i don't need a 1er that much to count lol😂
Your work is a1 but I do favour the traditional bricky 1 reason he teaching his kids old school
Please describe old school
Charlie isn't teaching his apprentice on a period property here though mate.... this is new build site work to current regs?
I half get one he’s saying with traditional bricklayer, but let’s not forget Charlie is throwing them in, and his apprentice will not be around in 6 months. Traditional bricklayers lad will more likely stay with his dad.
@@MrDavelyth123if the lads smart he’ll stay with Charlie, but sometimes young lads give in it’s a man’s game
Hopefully he does, he should learn what he can from Charlie.
I’ve got both my lads working with me, ones now laying, the other started around a month ago he’s now spreading and understanding how to use the trowel.
Lucky apprentice. Struck gold with you bro
Getting the lad to spread muck, my old boss used to call that "breaking his writ in" I would say around 645 bricks
What are the corners done in that way? And where is the internal wall?
I got into bricklaying because of the 3 day week 😂😂😂.... I'd heard the wrap tent scaffold thingy costs 35 thou....I asked a contracts manager ( Redrow) about it....he didn't even reply , then walked off...... probably to the golf course......😮😮😮
Tyler is the best. 😄
Nice to see young blood coming in to the trade 278 bricks and 4 Half's. So 280 whole bricks in total
Some speed there
Well at least he put the line up for ya!!! 😂 show off 😂
He laid half the bed to 👍🏻
Hi Charlie what do you think about getting a hod carrier to lay some bricks when have some time to spare? Bit older now don’t think I could afford apprenticeship route.
Cheers 👍
I wish I was as good at anything as this guy is at laying bricks…
Hi chas you are the magic man 😂
Trying to keep up with super trowel Charlie 😅
This is good
Great bricklayer fast smooth 2675 brick
Masterful
great skills
Love the videos. Just a question or two. Why are the corners doubled up like that? And 2 what’s the difference between a bod carrier and an apprentice?
It’s a garage front pier to take the lintel

I have a question, why the single brick stack bond in the corner and not just bond it with the half on the corner not in the middle ? ❤❤
I didn’t build the ground floor
@CharlieCollison I still don't get that why it takes more than one masonry contractor to build a house I've never been on a job like that where I live in the US where I build half the house and someone else finishes it
