I have an urge to go play in the cement for some unknown reason ☺️ Thanks for the video, Budd! It’s always a time to learn when you upload a video … except that one time when y’all were goofing off. But that was hilarious, so it really doesn’t count 😜😂😂 Happy Easter!!
Garden Walls done properly but you need some re-bar sunk down into the concrete footings to stop that naughty neighbour crashing their car into them Bud
As a teenager I sold brick trowels in my Grandfathers shop, mainly WHS brand London pattern, and Disston brand Philadelphia's, if only it were that easy, ........................several brickies would go through 6 or more trowels of the same make and pattern - swearing each was different , .......and when it got to Disston, some would only have made in Canada while other's insisted on USA made trowels, .................. and don't get me started on selling plastering trowels😱 Hope springs at last with us Bud, you take care and keep a troshin.
That’s Interesting mark . I have a decent collection of disston trowels . 1 of them was manufactured in the Canadian factory , it doesn’t have the disston name stamped on the Ferrell metal part of the handle . Some are new old stock (nos) and some are used they are top class trowels . What years would you be talking about .

Frog up.... frog up ... frog down.... jump jump jump.... its all about the face... if I catches water... turn it so it runs off... love the content BUD
That’s just how the turn up when delivered, couldn’t tell you why , perhaps someone could tell us ? They all have to be laid so frog or no frog they go in, many thanks for watching 👍🧱
Hi Bud, you mentioned Charlie C getting them down fast. As you know its all about working smart, he always has plenty of muck to lay the next brick on to, then when he scrapes off the excess it goes on the perp no point in flicking it back on the board. I know you have your own method but if you did that it would save you picking up mortar twice when you do your perp, you could still butter it but with one trowelfull and still get a full joint. (Just an observation not a criticism, give it a go)
@@liamtaylor5122 none of us are ever too old to learn new ways, however like I said just an observation not a criticism. I always said to my apprentice dont be afraid to tell me about anything new being taught at college if you think it makes the job easier or better.
3)(Shock horror)When Jointing do the bed joint first, then strike down fully the cross joint, then scrape all the snots off. Then run through the bed again. Brush at end of day. This is quicker,and easier than faffing around on cross joint after. An older Bricklayer told that 40 year ago. Before you say. Oh no ! cross joints first ! Think, this is for when you are pointing a wall with pointing trowel. Yes ,then you point in cross joints, then bed,- So as the cross joint stays in years later ! But with Jointing bucket handle etc. It's ALL there in the joints all ready. Try it. No skin off my nose, I did and do find it easier for the same results.. take care you all
I’ve got a whs that the old boy who taught me gave to me when he packed up that I love and would never stop using but it’s very small now and I’ve got a Marshall town that I’m breaking in with the grinder 😂😂
That wall looks real old and rustic. I think those divots add to the charm to be honest boi 👍
Cheers boi, old wood burner still going?👍
God bless you Bud...
👏👍
All they years of experience and still needs two bites of the cherry to butter a brick😂 bless no changing this ol dog now
I work with a lad who loves his ox I’ve tried it but can’t get on with it, each to their own you seem to be training it nicely 👍👍
Cheers, I’m going to try a few different trowels out over a period of time 👍
Tips for Bricklayers...1)Lighter clay bricks are generally longer bricks than the darker, due the burning process, Handy when setting out etc....

Painful to watch....all that tapping...pointless.
What’s the best way to get cement stain off the block paving when it’s dried on ?
Use your foot to scrape it off + a good jet wash 🧼 😊
Patio cleaner or brick acid
👍
Mr hatch, meet Mr grin.
Tidy work .
