Hi Rodian, I just found your channel. Just want to say that I am very impressed with your delivery. I am a total novice when it comes to brick work and you are seriously helping me in my journey. Many thanks Glyn

Hi mate loved the video and check out some of the links in your description. I left school and went into an apprenticeship for car mechanic/automotive technician, I completed level 1 and went onto level 3 but I wasn’t enjoying it. I realised I have passion for cars but not repairing them. I’m looking into bricklaying now and hopefully my mate is going to line me up with an apprenticeship with the same company he’s with. Thank you for helping me kickstart a better and happier career.
just come across your channel by chance...... I'm a chippie by trade but like learning.... your channel is very informative and engaging !!!! keep up the good work!!!
31 year old female farmer here, haven't laid bricks or blocks since I was 15 and under supervision.... About to build a block of 5 block stables... what could possibly go wrong? (A hell of alot less now, you have reminded me of loads!)
Hi Rodian. Came across this whilst looking for tips. I'm an old git just looking to build stuff in my garden. Thanks for the vids mate, much appreciated.
Stabila have a series of masons levels, 400 600 800 & 1200mm They have a patented guarded striking area you tap Evens the impact force over a wider area On the 800 & 1200 the vials are situated differently too Love your vids btw
Blue collar 1991 I had to take the guards off mine in the end, you can only use one side of the level when plumbing and it got on my nerves eventually. It’s a great level though and I love the offset vials. And we all know we shouldn’t be hitting our levels so hard that we need guards anyway... 😉😂
Thats a bummer, it had been ontop of my wishlist for a while Apparently crics, those wooden ones are good for absorbing & distributing pressure from tapping I guess you could tap both sides to Cant say from experience tho, i rep a stanley fatmax. Most experienced brickies cringe when they see it but its still reading true from 2 years of abuse Im an aus based apprentice, we dont have a decent range of masonry tools available locally unfortunately Bunnings are only good for snags these days
This is a great little series you’ve put together mate. Been a chippy for 10 years and trying to teach myself bricklaying. Gone in on quite a tough first project of rebuilding a chimney. These videos have been so useful!
4yrs late to the party but this is still Content gold fella. Thanks a lot mate proper decent to put the time and energy in for other people. Appreciate it! Currently trying to seek a new career and was thinking about doing this potentially on the side or maybe try going full time into being a Bricky....Either way, rambling lol. Cheers again!
Louis Morgan in Scotland you get 2 weeks off in the summer and 2 weeks off at Christmas. The college is shut for summer but you’ll be on site over the summer
Love this. Thanks. My front walls outside my house are crumbling due to the frost so it will be a project for me and my son when he gets back from Uni.
Been in construction for over 20 yrs.. Thought it'd be interesting to watch the series to see what different tips and tricks we have and to see what bad habits I've built up over time. Sikverline are cheap and cheerful. Use their sds drill for prep when rendering. The motor burns out quite a lot but good ol toolstation just swap them under warranty. Shame toolstation and other merchants don't do free coffees at mo cos of covid. Especially Travis their drinks machines are great!!
Love that bag I actually have the fatmax tape and I couldn't swear by it any harder then I do! I love it. Great video I know I'm a bit late to it but keep up the great work! 9
🤣 All been there mate! That magnet is sooooo handy! I dropped my phone down a cavity once, luckily it got wedged on a wall tie and i got it back. Was 2 stories up! so lucky!
Looking forward to series mate was hoping you’d do this your an easy fella to learn from your the bollox of teaching lol keep em coming mate it’s all good stuff
I'm 6 years into bricklaying and I still love stuff like this, reminds me of where we all start and there is always something new to learn, keep up the great work
Wd40 keeps the blade in mint condition nice slick when go back to use it. Get 16oz brick hammer mate nice in light or 18oz shouldn’t need any heavier more so with they bricks nowadays.
When you said your 2ft level was stolen and showed the alternative one you now use that rang a bell. I would often buy the heavier version which was more durable and more expensive but got sick of buying good tools just to have them nicked. Eswing hammers,, marshalltown trowels and Stabila levels were always going missing. So just a word of caution always take care of them.
I have started to excavate the foundations for an extension to my house. I’m planning to do as much as I can myself. I’ve been in construction all my working life and I’m a qualified carpenter and joiner, chartered builder with a construction degree. I have recently retired. My question is: The extension has 6 external corners and 2 internal corners. I’m not sure if I’ll do another project after this one. Do you think I should buy brickwork profiles for this job? I’ve done bits and bobs of brickwork over the years but never a full building. I’ve set out numerous commercial buildings, brickwork, roads, sewers etc and now I want to actually do the work!
Good to see you back again theres one thing I wood always have in my tool bag now a finger trowel thay are so handy if you have brickwork that was toothed you can pack the mortar right back in there all the way to the face of the brick without aney smudge on the face 🌝🌝
Ahh yes, I've never heard it called a finger pointer before. I've always known them as a tuck pointer. I did have 2 in my bag but have misplaced them over the years and haven't needed one recently. Very handy tools for sure
Have a look a "marshalltown masons mate" ..... line clips for top courses of brick block, I find then extremely handy for finishing tops of walls, starting off racked corners etc or where profiles can not be used 👍
As a professional my advise would be to avoid the Fisco tape measures. I have on for setting out as it saves time (as it does with gauging) but I've found that it attracts the foreman's suspicion(s) on site when they see you gauging down with it. It can make you lazy aswell in that you come to rely on it too much. Stick to a conventional tape measure.
I generally use it to set out with as its way quicker and have my normal tape in my back pocket with the magnet. I can deffo see how you can get lazy. I don't do site work anymore, but very interesting to know site agents don't like them. I don't see how it would be a problem though?
@@RodianBuilds Long post incoming. When I came to London the first job I landed on was a big met-sec job that had a lot of foreign improvers on and to avoid confusion/mistakes the sub-contractor had a big box full of Fisco tape measures they gave out for free to make sure everyone was on the same page. Fast forward a year and I found myself on a traditional block and brick job in outer London. I was on a facework corner and had to grind x-amount out of it and I started using my Fisco tape measure out of habit to gauge down off the blockwork. The brickwork foreman (not site agent) was an older hand and he stopped me and said he wanted to see me grind out what I needed to using a normal tape measure. He kinda put me on the spot but I agreed and he was happy with it. He later explained that Fisco tape measures ring alarm bells because it screams amateur and if I seemingly needed help with something as simple as gauging it made him wonder what else I'd need help with. I've come across that reasoning several times on the big house bashing sites out towards the M25 where the majority of the lads are English but I've found that on the big towers in central London where a lot of the brickies are mostly foreign improvers they tend to prefer Fisco tape measures. Just my two cents' worth.
Lawrence Curwen absolutely mate, the kids need to learn to work the gauge out in numbers on a standard tape first. Had a fair few come through that don’t even know what side of the tape to read. Makes me sad 😔
@@MrOitoyboy I've always used a miniature gauge staff ie. a bit of roofing batten cut to 75mm. and leveled the first brick on each course of a corner off it or if you've got to pick say 30mm. up over 10 courses to reach a pre determined point I'll cut one to 78mm... that way there's a bit of uniformity with the bed joints... too many trowels relying on profiles with gauge tape and young kids are following suit... they need to learn to think for themselves 👍
Do you know how to do stone work? I have a book called the art of the stonemason, but It would be great to see these sort of videos on building with feildstone, and dressed fieldstone, dry or mortar, etc. just in case you run out of ideas mate. Check out Trow and Holden for hammers and chisels.
Very interesting video. I subscribed to your video beacause I just started this work and want to know more. I would like to see a video about Block laying. Thanks
Cheers buddy. Its deffo a few tools, I generally add and remove whatever I need for each job so not always that full. I thought I'd add it all in for the viddy 👍🏻😁🧱
They are around £100 if memory serves me. Here's a link if you want to check it out. Bosch Laser Measure - amzn.to/2LvZWHs I think a video on it will be good as i found it so very useful!
I think this is a great start to your series but I feel you could have focused more on just the essentials for the beginner. All your tools are key but even as an “experienced” brick layer I got a little lost.
Thanks for the feedback buddy. I thought an over view of all the tools would be helpful and if anyone wanted further info i could make more videos about specific tools.
You missed out on ya finger trowel ,plugging chisel, chariot and pad saw,, I use my pad saw almost every day taking out coring holes. Just recently I got myself an old pointing trowel , maybe 3 inch from the bootsale. It was an old tyzack one and I can't stop using it. Perfect for flaunching and tight corners. P.s tyzack also do a good chariot, had mine for 9 years and still going. I use to have a huge tool box when I first started with every tool going but I find that I empty half the tools now depending on the job.
I did have 2 tuck pointers in my bag but misplaced them over the years. I very rarely use a plugging chisel or a chariot, come to think of it i don't even own a plugging chisel. My chariot is in the shed as i haven't used it in a long while therefore forgot to add it to the video. I've never used a pad saw when laying but i can see how it would be useful 👍😁
I thought I was the only one who used a scutch with 2 different ends, very handy and everyone seems to want to use it. I worked with a few foreign brickys s few years back on site, instead of buildings corner from a wall, they would mark where the wall would go, drill 2 screws top and bottom, then use piano wire inbetween. Then the end of the string line they would have an S shape hook. These guys had mastered the technique which was interesting
При нивелира, импланта с вода дали отчита правилно или адхезията оказва влияние. Ако ползвам чаша с вода май може да се постигне същия измервателен ефект. Наздраве
Put the scutch head up on a block so the slots facing you and tap the comb in with a brick hammer... to get worn blades out lay the scutch flat on a block with the blade overhanging the side and knock it out with a hammer 👍
I like having a big 1 lol don’t think it was the labour needed clonked with the block hammer mate lol it might not be mm but 5 inches still ain’t big mate
Marshalltown have a series of london pattern pointing trowels The 4 would be a perfect striking trowel Under the archeology section the have the 4x2 with a stiff blade & holster marshalltown.com/archaeology-trowel-4-stiff-london-style-pointing-trowel-wholster Be a perfect setup striking in the heat
I almost bought that archaeological trowel a couple of years back, just because it looked cool with the holster🤣🤣 I prefer a pointing trowel to have a bit more flex but each to their own
Learn Your trade (mason tender), and be the best! Bury the brickies in work,scaffold,and material. Get an early start. The boss will see this* You will end up being as valuable as the Brickie Foreman, and then You should be paid accordingly* I was the first on the jobsite in the morning, and the last to leave in the afternoon. I made things happen!
Typical Mason tool bag every thing is in there that you might need but never do and it gets heavier every day. I myself think metal box levels are better for carpenters. The best levels I've used are Smith, or Creek laminated hardwood. And I noticed you didn't have any flat tuck pointers they are very important to have.

Not a worry buddy. Glad to hear you're enjoying the videos. Good luck with the apprenticeship👍🏻😁🧱
How’s your career going?
The magnet is a great tip, just ordered one through your link.
i have been in building class for 3 years and learnt about nothing but watching you videos learns me more than the schoool does. Thanks
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. Pure class
Found a home I love and now I want a brick wall, your vids definitely help in case I need to enlist a bricklayer or do it myself

Going back to finish my apprenticeship starting on Monday. Bought the main tools and this vid had reminded me of some others I could get 👍
Im forever picking up new tools, its a life long obsession...... You'll never "have enough" tools 🤣
Did you get summer off as an apprentice?

I'm 17 years into bricklaying and I still love vids like these 🤣🤣 Cheers pal 👍🏻😁🧱
Yeah make a video about the power tools you use 👍👍 brilliant work
New favourite RUclipsr
Thanks for the help im 23 start college next week and now because of this video realised I’m skint after I buy all these tools😂
Great series to do. I have recommended your channel to my apprentice. Good video again mate👍
Cheers buddy 😁👍🏻
Watched alot of videos on brick laying yours is the best.
Liked and subscribed, mainly because you used the word wollop 👍🏽 and secondly, because I intend to learn 😂
i like a big one lol.. great video great tips bro!
Thanks for the video. Very helpful.
Didn't see a tuck pointing tool .they are very useful
I used to have a couple but havent needed one for a while. Dont fret, as soon as I need one I'll add it to the bag 👍🏻😁
Another good couple of tools in you bag is some screw drivers and an adjustable spanner in case you need to take to scaffolding dow
Great T-shirt for you.

I have started to excavate the foundations for an extension to my house. I’m planning to do as much as I can myself. I’ve been in construction all my working life and I’m a qualified carpenter and joiner, chartered builder with a construction degree. I have recently retired.
My question is: The extension has 6 external corners and 2 internal corners. I’m not sure if I’ll do another project after this one. Do you think I should buy brickwork profiles for this job? I’ve done bits and bobs of brickwork over the years but never a full building. I’ve set out numerous commercial buildings, brickwork, roads, sewers etc and now I want to actually do the work!
Good to see you back again theres one thing I wood always have in my tool bag now a finger trowel thay are so handy if you have brickwork that was toothed you can pack the mortar right back in there all the way to the face of the brick without aney smudge on the face 🌝🌝

very essential video am learning how to build
As a professional my advise would be to avoid the Fisco tape measures. I have on for setting out as it saves time (as it does with gauging) but I've found that it attracts the foreman's suspicion(s) on site when they see you gauging down with it. It can make you lazy aswell in that you come to rely on it too much. Stick to a conventional tape measure.
I've found that too,, especially the getting lazy part,, and it starts on a brick without the 10 mm perp you have to keep in mind
I generally use it to set out with as its way quicker and have my normal tape in my back pocket with the magnet. I can deffo see how you can get lazy. I don't do site work anymore, but very interesting to know site agents don't like them. I don't see how it would be a problem though?
@@RodianBuilds Long post incoming.
When I came to London the first job I landed on was a big met-sec job that had a lot of foreign improvers on and to avoid confusion/mistakes the sub-contractor had a big box full of Fisco tape measures they gave out for free to make sure everyone was on the same page. Fast forward a year and I found myself on a traditional block and brick job in outer London. I was on a facework corner and had to grind x-amount out of it and I started using my Fisco tape measure out of habit to gauge down off the blockwork.

I've come across that reasoning several times on the big house bashing sites out towards the M25 where the majority of the lads are English but I've found that on the big towers in central London where a lot of the brickies are mostly foreign improvers they tend to prefer Fisco tape measures.

Much materials can you tell us what are the essentials
Thanks for explaining
OK... so here we go I need to build a 45m brick wall.... I've never laid a brick in my life :) Lesson 1: Practice before you build! got it!
Joint rake ? Shovel ?

Have you got a cordless grinder
Please can you do a video on normal wall ties and when to put them in
I will deffo include that in a cavity wall video.
just a thought a stanley knife,a wood (jack) saw, plugging chisel
I'd love to know how to check if a level is level
Turn it around. If the bubble is in the same place it’s good.

i dont know if you have yet or not but can you please do a video on lintels?

do you use dutch pins
Only thing I feel I need to worry about is the gauge stuff I’m not fast at maths lol

Whats the most common level you use? The 4foot or the 6foot?
4 foot all day long. I rarely use a 6 foot unless in transferring a datum, checking plumb of a large post, ranging a wall, or something like that.
Do what is the general size of a concert block and dose the fisco tape has the size and joint course for concrete blocks??
keith henry yeah it has it all. Blocks and brick gauge. So long as your bricks and blocks are modern metric sizes of course...

How do you get the skutch blades into your hammer, bought one a month ago and never been able to get a blade in it
Put the scutch head up on a block so the slots facing you and tap the comb in with a brick hammer... to get worn blades out lay the scutch flat on a block with the blade overhanging the side and knock it out with a hammer 👍
stones105 cheers bud👍🏼
@@xelitezhd1760 no probs mate... scutch hammer all day long... especially if you cutting blocks with a bolster 👍
My imex line keeps snapping

Is it against work safety regulations having that magnet on your tape/trowel on the jobsite?
Interesting to hear that. How would it be against safety regulations?
Do you have the kitchen sink in your bag. Your bag is like Dr who's TARDIS

The whole series will be free on youtube. I'm not interested in selling videos when I can have them here for everyone to enjoy, for free 😁👍🏻
@@RodianBuilds ok thanks
Marshalltown have a series of london pattern pointing trowels
The 4 would be a perfect striking trowel
Under the archeology section the have the 4x2 with a stiff blade & holster
marshalltown.com/archaeology-trowel-4-stiff-london-style-pointing-trowel-wholster
Be a perfect setup striking in the heat
I almost bought that archaeological trowel a couple of years back, just because it looked cool with the holster🤣🤣 I prefer a pointing trowel to have a bit more flex but each to their own
9:59 why is it that us labourers get abused 😂😂
I guess it's the rite of passage 🤣🤣
Rodian Builds maybe so 😂
a bricky is only as good as his hody
Learn Your trade (mason tender), and be the best! Bury the brickies in work,scaffold,and material. Get an early start. The boss will see this* You will end up being as valuable as the Brickie Foreman, and then You should be paid accordingly* I was the first on the jobsite in the morning, and the last to leave in the afternoon. I made things happen!
Typical Mason tool bag every thing is in there that you might need but never do and it gets heavier every day. I myself think metal box levels are better for carpenters. The best levels I've used are Smith, or Creek laminated hardwood. And I noticed you didn't have any flat tuck pointers they are very important to have.
Numty tape

Did i forget the bolsters?! I made sure I had 3 ready but must have forgotten to put them back in the bag before hitting record 🙈
