    Mate - As soon as I saw this fella slinging his muck down the line, he is better than every single year 1 or year 2 apprentice or improver I've seen. Then taking on the pick and dip. Mustard for a year on the trowel and better than improvers 1 year in.
    The advantage improvers have over apprentices is they get to see probably 20+ bricklayers techniques and the pluses and minuses before deciding on whats good and if they were a good hoddy they will have the ear and teachings of said bricklayer that they served once they have pulled out the trowel.
    Also the fella had the confidence to put the camera hat on as well. I see promise here no doubt, which is why Charlie saw something and was showing his technique and thought process throughout. This short video is paramount to the difference in confidence and application for the 1st year trainee brickys.
    Thumbs up.

    I am not a brick layer, but people think it is a semi skilled job, but to do it well and fast their is a lot skill and thought. My Grand Father trained as a brick layer but did not finish his apprentice ship because of the First World War, so he only worked as a labourer. But he worked with a brickie and did all the hard bits, like brick arches where you could rub the bricks to get good joints, keep going mate.

    Great teacher, and lucky bloke. Funny I also learned something about pointing watching that. Intrigued how long after starting laying the soldiers did you start the pointing - how best to keep an eye on it when to start the pointing? (I've only ever done small mixes that prob go off faster due to slow handling - no hoodie 😊)

      That's the trouble finding people who actually care about the trade enough that are willing to teach. You might be better off trying to find a local builder who does good quality work than trying to get on site right away.
