I'm not a bricklayer. Much worse, I'm an Engineer. I certainly enjoy watching your work. I've always appreciated the work of professional craftsmen. You make it look effortless but I well know the many years and decades necessary to accomplish such a job well done. Thank you for the time you spend videoing and editing your presentations. God bless bricklayers and all tradesmen.
I do something similar but other way round i get the gobbo some where near and let it suck in a little then use my level as a guide and run a putty knife along it cutting off the excess leaving a perfect level straight top edge of flaunch its easier than trying to follow a pencil line and leaves an even sharper straighter finish 👍
Loving the Chanel mate, I work for myself as a bricklayer and generally build extensions and garden walls, just nice to see you taking your time and getting it right
I've never paid for a trowel my grandfather was a stone mason he was born 1912 and sometime in the 40s he bought what must have been a job lot because steel was going to the war effort . I've had three brand new WHS brades 10 inch narrow London trowels . from about 1940 .I think the rose is about the best now 👍
ah nice to see a whs [worked hard and starve ] trowel in use brings back memories of days past, back in the day if on a refurb job we used yogurt to try and blend in new to old brickwork as over time it forms a slight moss, i like your work mate.
Fair play pal. Nice to see a bricky that takes a bit of pride over speed. I stopped the house bashing and moved over to do my own work its more interesting too. Keep it up pal
I've done that since I was an old boy gauging my level im 41 now and still do it my old man showed me when I first started out on the trowel....i show young lads the same thing its so simple I dont know why more people don't do it????
Good idea with pointing up those creasings! I had 4 course of them yesterday before finished brick on edge and like you said getting the muck to dry on a damp day especially with tiles is a pain and an iron literally drags out the water and smears. Good shout from me in Essex .
helo , im a swedish bricklayer and love your stuff!!!!!! could you do a video when you show al your trowels ?? what brand you use and why you shoosed just your trowel ? cheers
love videos like this im half way through a welding apprenticeship was worried i was too old to start it at 19 so glad i did it love learning a trade love the vids
Hay thanks for making effort to record and upload, i know it’s a small job, but the lesson and inspiration has been tremendous, thanks 🙏🏽 good job ✨ and keep up the great work 👍🏽
😂😂can’t believe that there are so many comments on me washing up gloves 🤦♂️ I’ve not been on the trowel for 10 years but please don’t tell me that this knowledge has passed so many ? ,,the method behind the gloves Ok I’m Gona upload a video on the method ,,can’t believe we Gona do a video on washing up gloves 😂😂 To be fair it’s a tip taught to me by very old trowels and could be useful for some Tnks for all the comments guys 🧱👌
The gloves are ideal for being able to feel and also not getting in the way of the string line. He also understands not to remove any accidental droppings too quickly as it will smear more
To The Traditional Bricklayer...…just another little tip......to get the cement stains of the tiles use some glass insulation like a rubber and it comes off real easy. hope that help somebody!
Rosemary up Rosemary down.I'm guessing your PGA based in Leigh which is 5mins from me.I've been bricklaying for over 40yrs do a lot of pointing work too just priced a flank wall one in Leigh.
Nice & IN CONTROL OF THAT TROWEL. WHEN I START THE BRICK ON EDGE (. I BUILD A DEAD MAN. FIRST & LEAVE IT to go off a little .). DOES HELP WHEN POSITIONING. JUST A LITTLE TIP . BEEN AN APPRENTICE INDENTURED BRICKLAYER FOR 45 YEARS,,,! STILL DOEING IT . (. GET CALLED OUT TO SET &. LEAVEL UP. BUILDINGS AS THERE IS A BIG SHORTAGE OF GOOD. TROWELS , or. SSO CALLED BUILDER,S
@@ONEDARKREP Ha! I suppose it was meant to say ..It’s nice to see a bricky taking his time and being precise ( like the tile going in upside down) although no one would see it ! against the normal throwing them in to the line . Old school new school it’s still a 40 year of hard slog 👍🧱💪🎥
@@ronniebiggs4026 there you go ye he’s a decent bricky all tho that job was probs worth no more than 100 pound hope he didn’t take his time too much unless he ripped the customer off ... but ye nice job 👍
Lovely video , I've got a WHS with a plastic Marshalltown handle , works a treat , hows the boxing at chalvedon going ? I was there few season back but family and work stopped me
Allo mate Yeah boys are doing well ,,been hard in lockdown but they kept their runs and training up . Lucky really Gary as only 1.5 year difference in age so they can spar at home. Hope your well pal
I reckon your compo is a tad too wet for tile crease work ... I agree with you about the overuse of profiles . No brickies nowadays , just 'line monkeys' ☺
John bowkett I don’t necessarily agree with the over use of profiles, if you’re on price use profiles and straight edges as much as you can it’s so much quicker of course sometimes you have to hand build but try to avoid if possible
Nah it’s just the old cunts who can’t figure out how to set the profiles up I’d rather not fuckabout building corners when I could of got a gable up it’s like saying it’s good to see people on horses going to work rather than those silly people in cars lol road monkeys ,, you sillly twat haha merry Christmas
i would have snapped the bottom tile in two and laid them ridged to the centre, this would create a natural drip away from the wall. The bottom tiles are concave when the good side is down, thus encouraging rain to run in towards the brickwork! exactly opposite of why you were installing rosemary's in the first place!

Great job mate I'm a retired bricklayer & I've really enjoyed watching you laying bricks your a true professional 👍
I think that little tip with the level marking it off is one of the best I've seen yet. Thanks

@@TheTraditionalGolfer I'm a Stone Mason but do your method when doing brickwork.
Nice one Dean
Got to say though, protect the tarmac path with Sheeting of some sort
That precaution prepping needs to be taught too

I thought I was the only man left on earth with a narrow London trowel . Respect 👍
Nah I use a little 10inch W Rose narrow London with a wooden handle everyday 👍

Great job Dean...reminds me of hundreds of wall repair jobs Ive done..setting your corners and run a line!!
Breath of fresh air, bit of old school bricklaying👍🧱🍻
Olde school fella doing the job right 👍- just found the channel now subbed and will definitely be catching up on the back catalogue.
I like watching people that know there job, enjoy there job and are great at it... it doesn't matter what the job if your the great at it
Profiles all the way but gauging your level like that is master mind 😂👍👍 million pound idea
I've done that since I was an old boy gauging my level im 41 now and still do it my old man showed me when I first started out on the trowel....i show young lads the same thing its so simple I dont know why more people don't do it????
Finally we have a proper Bricky on RUclips, more Videos Please.

Never thought about marking the gauge on the bead. Cracking little tip!

Like the gauge on level idea .. good shout thankyou
Another nice piece of work retired bricky 👍👍👍
What a pleasure to watch you sir!
I aspire to this level of bricklaying and technical craftmanship
Nice to see the professionalism from you, v well done.

Your hands will get cold in winter
Great skill, well done.
Very hard to get decent trades in to do small jobs these days!
I like watching you work but i would like to see little longer look at the finished job... God Bless

The Traditional Bricklayer...…just another little tip......to get the cement stains of the tiles use some glass insulation like a rubber and it comes off real easy. hope that help somebody!
Nice video , also enjoyed the music 👍🏻
I’m a retired bricky, question why do you lay the second course of tiles on a part bed rather than a full bed.
LOVELY TO SEE EXPLAINED VERY WELL PUCKER JOB MATE
I prefer the sound of you working. Leave the music to other channels. Great video
Love the pencil line ....
i love the effort he gives to keep working environment as clean as poss 👌🏼💯💯💪

I like ya man. Subscriber alert
Nice. Do you score up level with disc cutter. Gonna do same for me fencing
No mate ,gentle axe saw blade 👌
So neat 👍
Would you protect that from rain as well, just in case?
Thought you were getting ready for washing up for a minute
Brillaint idea with the level
Just like the old boys would have built it 👍Can’t beat old school👍💪🎥🧱
Old school ,, what you mean there’s no new school to bricklaying what the fuck you on about lol

absolute legend
Watched this with no sound but somehow knew he was a southerner.
Can tell just by the muck
Geezer 😂😂
Thanks for making the video
Lol ya definitely seem to have a deeper voice in the new video or is that to go with the beard
Tidy. Nice one
Nice work
Would have been good to have seen the line being set up everything spot on nice to see a proper geezer tradesman are you a Winstone ?
Lovley work
Good job dean
2 great tips on gaging, and edge poinying on a scribed level line on tiles cheers just another great video
Nice work although I think the fillet looked a bit heavy for my liking
Massive
Nice gloves. R u washing dishes
Well done mate
Alright fella I was curious on the milk,mud and water on how that turned out? Sounded like a useful bit of knowledge that
I use yogurt on new muck and bricks so it gos mouldy and dark then it blends with the old work
Looks great that, fine bit of craftsmanship👍... What did you use to edit your video? I could use that for mountain bike clips 😜
good to see a proper whs trowel being used unfortunetly they dont make them anymore tyzack is just a copy had the in college long timeago
Have you though about protecting the tarmac, tidy job nevertheless
Watch end of the video ..all in the knowledge 👌
nice job
Why not use the old plates ?
Nice one. 👍🏼
Do you use fairy liquid with them marigolds?

@@paulhicks778 lol
Joe bricky profiles all the way, that’s what they are designed for to make life easier and quicker it’s progression
@@ONEDARKREP You most likely can't build a corner ... too much of a WANKER !
I don't know anything, but did you put a slope on the top? I think that would make it last longer.
Great content!! I got the same level, just wondering how you marked out the gauge? Did you simply use a hacksaw? All the best.
i would have snapped the bottom tile in two and laid them ridged to the centre, this would create a natural drip away from the wall. The bottom tiles are concave when the good side is down, thus encouraging rain to run in towards the brickwork! exactly opposite of why you were installing rosemary's in the first place!
could someone help me understand the pricing? whats a good price to pay for this service? thanks.
Are those dish washing gloves 🧤 ?
Yeah, his misses probably likes to wear tights.
Hi what’s the song in this video lyrics “take a ride ride wit me”
I've seen roofers use yoghurt to encourage growth to age new work,... Sorry don't know the flavour
Very good,grandma here))
Was that a job for titanic construction ?
Ganda RUclips sensation 😂😂
👍Keep it up bro
Loves an empty joint fillet should be on the bottom of the soldier would look a lot better but fair play
I agree and I'll let someone else tell you those aren't soldiers 🤫
I will tell its a brick on edge 👍
Who sings the song at the end of the video
What are those gloves?
Marrigolds lads used em years ago and ya grandma
Rapist gloves . 😂
