Hilarious channel. Can't believe I'm watching a UK bricklaying channel of my old job. Look forward to learning more about the channel. Much love from Aus🤟❤
You can tell the age of someone with tattoos... Every decade had its styles and now they live them everywhere, but in 10 years time they will be out of fashion and look dated and laughable to the newer generation. I actually regret all Mt tattoos now but luckily I can cover most of them...
@@Madmancrock yeah my old man always told me that about tattoos. He had loads n like fashion have a date on them. Spot on, so whatever looks good today will be shocking in 10 year time 👍🏼
Charlie's efficiency, and leadership style really comes across. I love how the muck tray is always exactly where he needs it. He does not mess about!! And Amy is doing great - well done
not a bad pace and rythm to be fair, i started bricklaying about 1980 on a "TOPS" (training opportunity scheme) course at hastings college and did about 30 years as a bricklayer. what strikes me most about your video's is the way you you pick up the muck, pug, mortar, compo. my first two days in school was "rolling the pug" from the left side of the mortar board, a habit that stayed with me and all the bricklayers i have worked with over the years. i know the mortar is different now, as sand reserves have changed and most sites use a silo, which is fine till you get to the "nutty" bits !! i like you for using a sensible size trowel, there was a fashion back in the day to see who came in on monday with the biggest trowel, i have had them all and have still got them from the first to the last going rusty in the shed! WHS (work hard and starve) london patern, wooden handle, canadian leather handle, Marshalltown, wooden, leather, plastic, rubber handles. if you had a shit labourer that could only knock up stiff pug you would get "pug on the wrist" or tendonitis, such fun. keep up the good work mate. and ask amy to give us a big smile.
Makes me smile... I was a Hod Carrier through the 90s and the brickies and hoddies of today have it so easy. Seeing the bricks and muck boards stacked on little trestles is hilarious.. We just chucked down 2 thermalites for muck board and bricks on the deck. Us hoddies had to knock up the muck and run it up ladders(which you have stairs for now lol) as well as all the bricks and blocks and sometimes it was 9 inch concrete blocks, that's without the 78k lead I had to run up ladders for trays. I honestly don't think your generation would of made it back then. And on top of all of that there was no hi vis or hard hats or even steelies... And we were always drugged up from 7am then beers at dinner followed by more drugs, then back in the boozers Great fun and loads of banter...
@@ForgottenLore There wasn't any accidents on site, well nothing that was life changing or serious. That's all a load of lies made up so you pay for CSCS cards.... You need tickets for everything now on site.... And it's all about money. We had common sense on site... No hard hats or hi vis.....just your old going out clothes,. It was all common sense... Something alot of the younger generation don't have because everything is wrapped in cotton wool before you start. You younger ones wouldn't of lasted half a day on the old sites... Be crying you need gloves, or your back aches, or a bit of dust in eye... Its hilarious....
My mates all have to wear long sleeves and trousers, they don't adhere to it when it's hot . Theres a shortage of good trowels down south roofers as well, they turn a blind eye if they want them to stay. You know how it is health and safety goes out the window when theres deadlines that need meeting.
Despite the bad reputation brickies have, you actually come accross as a very nice dude and a very decent no-nonsense tradesman, Charlie. I also appreciate the high quality of your uploads and the clarity of your spoken English. Amy is a skilled tradeswoman too but probably she doesn't handle starting rows from scratch very well.
You make it look easy. Done my apprentice at HMP Onley in 2015. Couldn’t get a job so went to college and became gas safe. No one would give me a start because of having a criminal record. Still stuck in the cycle going nowhere fast.
Your a joy to watch. How do you get your mortar so creamy, have been mixing small amounts of mortar premix in a bucket and could never get it like yours. Is it the cement mixer or Addition of plasticiser or fairy liquid?
Good vid fella, its all about having the crack, we had to chuck two gauges away today not ideal but we live in a little windswept island on the edge off the Atlantic
Your team has come on so much love it mate brilliant to be fair .Looking really good for all of you your shit at pull ups though 🤣🤣🙂 nar i couldn't pull my large lump up and do 1. Good luck from Justin brickright 👍🧱🧱🧱💯
Charlie you are the star of the show and it shows, the most you have engaged in a while I feel, but what a much much improved video. I think these 20minute vids are the best. just a suggestion why not do 1 video a week a hour long but film over the week. But it's your channel and you make the decisions boss man. 👍
Live the videos. From the 7_13 minute mark you were laying a couple courses. I've watched a lot of. Id's but you're the only one to run a course with the same method I use, buttering as you cut and hitting the back as well. So many want to play around uttering at the mortar pan, which has always confused me. It just seems so slow.. Also, you adjusted a few joints at the end in order to make the head joints uniform,, grade A work
I've got a question for you bud my daughter done carpentry at college now on second year she's loving plumbing whats your thoughts on girls learning the trades
My daughter is training to be an Audi technician , they are positively promoting girls in the work place . If she is enjoying plumbing encourage her as we will always need plumbers , can't get a robot to fix a leak under a sink .
Buy a bag of lime or 2 a piece of OSB. To lay on and scrounge some sand and brick from a local site. Most sites will be pretty helpful. Don't rush and do the monty just build knock down repeat. Once you have you technique and can lay plumb and level, go do the lvl1 and get earning. They will go over mixes, and a few dayails. if you can already lay you will be on decent money in a mere few weeks and can really star the learning process. Don't be afraid to be slow. Jist make sure are good quality and the speed will arrive while you are looking the other way.
Well done amy keep going girl you're doing well you have a great teacher on the line with you
Hilarious channel. Can't believe I'm watching a UK bricklaying channel of my old job. Look forward to learning more about the channel. Much love from Aus🤟❤
Watched since you started working with Amy a year or so ago, her growing confidence is a great thing to see, she will have her own gang soon!
Love the videos, always good to see an upload by you 👍
I know it’s a time lapse, so it’s sped up, however I can still see how faster and more accurate Amy is at laying now. Great progress girl! 👌🏻👍🏻
i taught her with my teeth
Very therapeutic watching this, if laying bricks could ever be considered poetry in motion, this is it!
Do you leave coring holes out to clean the tray at the end of the house? Do they want them clean??
Well done Amy getting them bricks down faster keep goin girl
God blessed you with this gift, this is his child at work!
?
Wow got a good little gang going there Charley boy just goes to show bit ov time and effort and patience with people can pay off 👍
Fair play to Amy!!!!...taught by a pro to live and sleep brickwork!!
This fella has never seen a tattoo he doesn't like 😂
What tattoo would you like sir? All of them please.
Tribal on legs 🤢🤢🤢 imagine

Loads of arthritis and accidents more, the modern method is more efficient a less accident prone.

Plenty of hard workers in my generation love my work and love getting better
Bet they didn't get as much done so you never had it tht hard
@@ForgottenLorebut a body is made 2 move the body cant take it its why overweight and heart problems is are biggest problem
Good brikies,, great labourers,,
Fair play amy great improvement from when I last watched a few months ago
serious laying skill and loving the ink bro ur well commited ill be following yis now and subscribed
Shorts on a building site. Rules no as strict as up here in Scotland
My mates all have to wear long sleeves and trousers, they don't adhere to it when it's hot . Theres a shortage of good trowels down south roofers as well, they turn a blind eye if they want them to stay.

A noble art , My father was a Bricklayer and so was I .
Came to New Zealand 16 years ago and havnt laid a brick since.
Good on ya Charlie.
There spoilt decent spot boards and stands, hoddle's have got it easy dream job. Good luck to em the job fucks you up long term 🤙🏴
What trowel are you using?
Oddly addicting these vids
Says: um, I’m just recording for 5 minutes….. lays whole wall … lol
Smokin Charlie !
I'd make a total sagging mess. Well it is a skilled trade. Great video.
nice to see brick squeezed to the line. that's how it's done.
"peck-peck-peck? here's your f'ng check"
Amy wearing those tight pants will keep the laborers on the job.😂😂😂.. no disrespect, but it is what it is.
Brave woman wearing those on site 🤣
Great site to work on
I wouldn't be able to concentrate on my work

13:40 what did you bring Charlie back from ur trip ?? His lunch ? 🤣🤣🤣
Tidy job. Good brickie
I noticed the subtle but very smart denial of who laid the dodgy brick Amy was complaining about..
Great people management Charlie
Amy is smashing it! All that time teaching is really paying off now Charlie, she's becoming a mint bricky 💪💪💪👌👍
If they get rained off they could always play a game of checkers on his forearms. :)
where did you get them spots from lad?
You make it look easy. Done my apprentice at HMP Onley in 2015. Couldn’t get a job so went to college and became gas safe. No one would give me a start because of having a criminal record. Still stuck in the cycle going nowhere fast.

Its factory batched morter, they have a silo on site.
@@peterbalac1915 bro thought his labourers were bashing mixes out non stop all day
Amy’s doing well mate , but she’s got some way to go before she’s keeping up with you , you can lay a brick rapid !👍🏻
Amy definitely tripped over coming to the van for tea! 😂😂😂
you would do her
Isn't about time these bloody subbies bought some of those mortar stands, It's so much faster and it saves the back.
liking this channel
Did you have them spot boards on legs made they look decent save the bending over loads there
omg I cant belive You recorded that pull ups embarasment 😂
Hi mate great videos where did you get the profiles with your company name on them

Absolutely gonna be a bricklayer. Great job!! You’ve taught her well!!
Good job Amy!
Poor old Amy imagine your bf encouraging you to work on a building site 🤣
why not, knobhead ? do'nt speak for other people,Gg... so there. x
@@blackbob3358 lifting wet bricks and blocks when she's 55 when she could of been a air hostess travelling the world 🤣
If it makes her happy who cares
Rude women can work on building sites aswell you get women plumbers women gardener's /landscapers etc so what is your piint your trying to make
@@mathewallen9312 woman don't lay bricks ffs haah
Tell Amy to send every one a post card next time when she trips up next to your van
great job amy
Amy your really picking it up well done.
Great work Amy! Best Wishes from Cyprus.
Fair play to Amy. I remember watching the first video of her bricklaying then looking at this she’s doing well good!
Good work guys. Charlie you inspire me to do RUclips myself when I finish my apprenticeship
Came for the brickying, stayed for the banter. 👍
your intro sounds like television x previews music
Watch out Charlie the A-Train is coming!
Nice 1 class music aswell.great stuff charlie and the crew!!!!
Hi Charlie, it looks like you have a good gang 👍, Amy is getting better and better keep up the top work and top videos 🧱👍
You are quality watched loads of you vids even on a Friday night 😆 and have picked up a good few tips from you thanks 🤟
👍
Amy didn't ping the line once, go Amy!
I love doing Scaffolding
Amy gets double the views hahah
Does nobody build a corner anymore,better keep that skill up guys
Amy is certified❤
why was the brick rejected at 12:20 ?
Why don’t they pass plots back with the atlas boxes done to get rid of the long length on alkathene
Hello Charlie! Is this Larry Aylward construction LTd?
Good vid fella, its all about having the crack, we had to chuck two gauges away today not ideal but we live in a little windswept island on the edge off the Atlantic
Your team has come on so much love it mate brilliant to be fair .Looking really good for all of you your shit at pull ups though 🤣🤣🙂 nar i couldn't pull my large lump up and do 1.

Also, you adjusted a few joints at the end in order to make the head joints uniform,, grade A work
Ive never worked on any sites as clean as that, usually need welly boots but it been a few years
Amy Thumbs up!
No double damp? I hate it when they put movement joints just off the corners our site started doing it but the contract manager fucked them off
How come youve stopped pick and dip,any reason
Dam she a bricklayer
How long did it take Amy to get to this level of ability?
@The Mighty Orange How many are you laying in a day?
I've got a question for you bud my daughter done carpentry at college now on second year she's loving plumbing whats your thoughts on girls learning the trades
It aint 1950 anymore let them crack on
My daughter is training to be an Audi technician , they are positively promoting girls in the work place . If she is enjoying plumbing encourage her as we will always need plumbers , can't get a robot to fix a leak under a sink .
@@dennisphoenix1 oh I am she done a year of carpentry and now second year plumbing she loves it good luck to your daughter buddy
penny tell her to stick with plumbing ( or electrics ) you always need an emergency plumber or sparkie . No one needs an emergency painter
Why do they put expansion joints so close to the corner, the corner is the strongest point of the gable 🤔
I wondered the same thing, odd position for it
If it's for movement does only one side move 🤔
Great video, a question for all ? Where’s the best place to learn bricklaying bearing in mind I’m 50, is college still the main teachers?
Buy a bag of lime or 2 a piece of OSB. To lay on and scrounge some sand and brick from a local site. Most sites will be pretty helpful. Don't rush and do the monty just build knock down repeat.

Jist make sure are good quality and the speed will arrive while you are looking the other way.
why don't you use brick spacing tapes?
Amy's coming on a bundle, nice work charlie
Do you pay them for the day BOSS?
Nice to see a lady on site. All hairy arsed blokes on my site's 👀😂
Amy your doing brilliant...Nice one Charlie Amy's doing brilliant...👍💯
Does Amy have her own channel? Is she still a brickie?
So what job would you have done if you hadn't been a brickie?..
Tattooist 👍🏻
Never would of guessed...
How’s the profiles Charlie , has the writing started to come off yet mate ? Amy is putting a few more down now , well done 👌🏻
Great work ! Did Amy have a wee trip at 13:43 lol
Charlie defo been using the go pro in the bedroom
I'm sure Amy is the boss there too.
Cheers from germany, had loads of shitweather over here last few weeks keep it up though more bricks to lay 😎✌🏼
Niiiiice
It's not cost efficient to work off trestles get scaffolding sorted at 18 course
Anyone point me into the right direction of where best place is to buy those profiles from? Blakes profiles.
почему,угол со стеной не перевязывается ? а ставите демпферную ленту ?
Keep smashing them Amy. Make them longer Charlie!
Good work Charlie , nice tattoos too .
