16 an half years on site an ive never seen this method. So i tried it the other day (with spots and no hop ups), found it was quicker, cleaner and easier on my body aswell. Thanks for the tip mate. I owe u 1
Ben Croft ruclips.net/video/ojxJ8AXV8Vs/видео.html when your doing your next private job try using the tubs and a smaller trowel you’ll go even faster . Very relaxed way of bricklaying . Note the Dutch guy nearest you in the video how relaxed he is . He’s holding the trowel in a very relaxed manner not choking it. The brick they are laying are 50 mm high that’s why they can use the push joint . The trowel he is using is an Arnhem trowel .
@@brickbybric im laying shallow frog bricks atm(75mm) but using the exact same method as him. Ive got a 11 inch london style as i still do long spreading for concrete blocks. I need to convert my workmates too so we can invest in some tubs and hop ups before i get the new trowel. Lol i been using 12 inch phillies until now. So it will be 1 extreme to another
When I was in my early 20's I worked in Bremen Germany with 3 other lads all from the uk. We were building houses. One Saturday 3 Dutch guys turned up they took the outside wall of one elevation whilst we were on the adjacent elevation. They used this method and they creamed us. They were finished an hour before us. Since then I've been using this method. Too much time waisted spreading muck the whole length. I've proved the point over and over to other lads, yet they still insist on spreading the whole length lol.
Wow not a bricklayer but been watching others like stu compton etc but your method makes sense and easy to grasp for most diy people like myself. Very impressive but I was more impressed that there was not even a single splatter on your white suite 😉😂
Pros always make it look easier than it is…but thx for this video! Question…. What is best practice for brick against wall? Just bought a house and my brick steps and patio are pulled away from wall of house. Should fasteners have been used or some type of adhesive or both? Be well!
That's a nice height to work at-about 9-12 courses.Dip and pick is a good system too.I can see it's a cavity wall,so it's a course that doesn't need ties incorporated into the b/w.Nice video.I'm 64 and still laying 'em.
Suprisingly epic video with amazing info. The people picking on the fact he’s laying them upside down completely miss the genius of the laying technique, hop ups and buckets. Thanks boys funny and informative great video
If you can't find an Ark to raid, get Harrison Ford to come along and build you one, he'll even build it upside down, if you ask him nicely. Big hand for the cameraman.
Decades ago I was a trained bricklayer in the US, but found an easier way to make money by selling products. The way I was trained, is the way they do it in the UK, where you have a big trowel and spread the mud in long swaths. I was taught to spread the mud the perfect height so that there was no tapping, only pressing slightly, then the excess that was squeezed out was used to butter the head joint on the brick you just laid. I could see where the German method would be better, because with the small trowel you are not lifting as much weight and getting your arm worn out. Putting the mud in the bucket to keep it from drying out is another good idea. It also saves time of having to put water on the mud board and constantly re hydrating the dried out mortar.
Glenn Brilliant..RUclips has come to us all standard brickie that has earnt his monie. Time and advance is standard ..shame to some comments these are the guys that are chasing the £ If They had brains its not a race yet are making there life harder by being competitive? Race Shows your young keen no hrs served. Hit it up in 30yrs. See where you are backache had enough. Its not a sprint but doing yourselves injustice. Put your kid on the line no monie because you all want to look what the next is doing. The games gone if you want to compete. Grow up do your hrs. 😊
This is how we do it in Finland. I was always curious about those mortar boards Anglo-Brickies love to use. What pros are there for using those as opposed to using big ol' bins?
Glen fancy a couple of weeks in Northern Ireland that was the best thing l have seen for a good while I,m 64 and buddy you give us all hope. Keep taking the bottled beer you know it makes sense all the best
The having materials all up higher part has really opened my eyes! Although I will say you really *shouldn't* be tapping the bricks down anyway until you start getting around about chest height. The bed should be laid so that you can gently push the brick home with your finger tips, as you're doing here. If you're doing a load of taps on every brick at every height you are kinda doing it wrong.
I once new a bricklayer bold jimmy to his mates.They say he was a matelow trowl and allways worked for high stakes. He bent his back while laying some say while praying to the Goddess of the trowl sweeet lilly lake. No finner tradie held the trowl and his heart knew no persuasion. And He put them down with out a frown did bold Jimmy to his mates
Sure do. Just find it so much easier mate. I'm lucky cos I can work with a small trowel. In Germany they have trowels especially designed to work out of bins. Stay safe buddy, glenn
Well done lads great video and banter. It’s very very hard to convince long bed layers that this is the best method to use when bricklaying. As you say in the video it struck you that the Germans Brickys were quicker than you because of the method they used .The majority of the worlds bricklayers use the method you demonstrated . It’s mostly Bricklayers from English speaking country’s that use the long bed method. There is a very good bricklayer on RUclips called robsonger who uses this method but he works off mortar boards and uses an 11 inch trowel which I believe causes him to be not as quick as he should be when using this method. Your 100% correct when you point out that it’s best to work out of mortar bins or tubs and use a small trowel . The whole thing is a system ,small trowel, mortar tubs , keeping the brick up off the ground and going to the wall with mortar and brick at the same time . 👍
Thanks so much for your positive comments mate. I hope I didn't come across as being arrogant in the video. It's just that I want young bricklayers to know about this method. Knocking up mortar if it's drying up is a lot easier in a bin, than on a spot board, when the brickwork invariably gets splashed. Thanks again buddy
glenn veness no Glenn the opposite in fact . There is another video on RUclips of an American guy using the method your demonstrating . Another lad left a comment relating a humorous story he had heard of 2 American bricklayers that were put together on site . One guy named bob that uses the long bed method and another guy named Jim that uses your Dutch / German method the Americans refer to it as pick and dip or New England style. So the story go,s like this . Bob starts laying out his long bed furrowing and fiddling with the mortar etc trying to get it bang on . Meanwhile Jim has 3 or 4 brick put down while bob is still busy laying out his bed . Bob having never seen Jim’s style of bricklaying shouts over to him asking what in hells name is he doing and Jim reply’s laying bricks bob what are you doing.
Best video I've seen , looking forward to the block work video. Good to hear old school bricklayers it's how I remember them when I worked as a hod carrier in Bournemouth in the 1980s.
@@wolfdog1722 not that I can recall , but the building sites In Bournemouth at the time were very busy and had bricklayers and labourers from all over the UK . I remember one Irish guy working on the Conference Centre ( BIC ) getting arrested on site as it turned out he was AWOL from the army
to be fair this technique looks so much easier on running in im going to have to give it a try , i was wandering though how you use this style wen working low? say the first 3 to 4 courses , would it be the same, just buckets and bricks on the floor?
To all those that don't know laying frog down is a acceptable way to lay a brick on non load bearing walls and in fact increases the u value on house walls because it traps air and when i did my time it was aways called pug
You'd have a problem working with a left handed bricky as we tend to work forwards - no bum fights in the middle. And those bricks are designed to be laid frog up. But I'm with you on the Dutch method. Best used with a rounded Dutch trowel.
The reason he doesn't need to tap the bricks is because he's laying them frog down, this actually is not good practice because you can't ensure the frog is full of pug. However, I am not going to argue with a great character like that, each to his own and he's obviously a great bricklayer.
A mason would have had that course laid in minutes. A few hundred in a day is SLOW sorry but not sorry. This is fine for a DIY guy. A professional bricks in the wall equals $$$$$.
Above all good quality brickwork is most important I've been laying for over 30 years so maybe I'm out of place commenting, I'm sure this post is very helpful for the people who want to learn. Thank you & show more it's done different over here & it is very interesting .
I do masonry in Canada from Poland and have alot Germans in my crew we all got a could laugh. The pale was great, and the beer with a blazer. The motarboar is wetted ti start and if your motar is dring up thats because your working too fuck slow. When you pull moater off the boar the motar rolls into a bun like ready to spread evenly no need to frey it afterward, and you dont break your wrist. And dont work backwards if you dont have to it dangoures, you dont see the criss joint as well.
Fantastic video ,iv always maintained a little bit of cop on and a eagerness to learn ,and you can do anything,the saying your always learning ,how very true ,great video ,great to be able to pass on knowledge like that .
MARTY !!! We gotta go back to the future to lay these bricks before biff makes an extension !! Great Scott’s doc you are right lol 😂 where the fuk did u get this guy from ha ha
By far the best way to lay bricks .it makes me laugh how some trades are stuck in the MUD with the way they do things and are unwilling to try new methards there is always a better and faster way to do things
No tapping of the brick. Thats because your laying them frog down the bed will not be full. Try laying 10 bricks on top and it will sink faster then the titanic
thanks glenn, your right about the method can't understand long spreading seems a lot of walking, I started spreading for two bricks and one on blocks.
My late Grandad used to say to me, "If you hands get sore laying bricks its because you,ve been holding them too long " ! & My late father would give me a bolocking if he heard me tapping em down , " don,t be tip tapping , you,ve got too much mortar under em " class :-)
This is how I learnt to Lay bricks and blocks by my old man many years ago he called it dip and pick and yes you're right this way is much easier on your body and its faster and cleaner which is the way i like to work people will learn the right way one day how to lay bricks and block this day and age they do not learn them the right its about time they did
Glenn you and me would have got on well I'm 65, you are spot on when you say about using a smaller trowel, you have much more control and it took me a while to realize this. I was working with a chap on the line for the first time and I remember thinking that's a small trowel you've got there, well I've never seen a bloke lay bricks as fast and neat he was using your method. The other blokes said don't be embarrassed he does it to all of us. Anyway I really enjoyed the video and the humour keep it up....
Makes no odds Clive. Experienced brickies will tell you 'frog up to get up, frog down to get down'. If you've got to get down, it makes no sense to lay frog up. I know where you're coming from though mate, all the best, glenn
keefer Rawcliffe he probably doesn’t have to move broads as you have one between rack stack and when bricks get low the hoddy will come and stack them up for you again. That’s what there paid for
Old timer thanks for the knowledge I agree with the keeping your mud in a bucket but stop walking so far away from mud keep it near you lol thanks for your years of brick work
Enjoyed it. Funny because when I was an apprentice the brickie I worked with had worked Germany and this is how he used to lay bricks. Top video mate cheers

how much better it is
I love how he Says “a couple of hundred bricks a day is good”

10 minutes actually Dazza, but it was a straight run, and a lovely height

Nhbc would make you pull that down at redrow frog down is bad building practise ,first thing they taught me at college 40 years ago

That works about 240 bricks per hour , in 5 hours that would be over a thousand bricks, not bad
It really is the easiest way to lay bricks
Straight run, no ties, insulation, expansion joints, corners, openings, lintels, bollocking lazy hoddies...
If only every job was a straight full wall and you running to a line all day and the weather is good,sadly it’s not an ideal word for a Bricky ☹️

Enjoyed it. Funny because when I was an apprentice the brickie I worked with had worked Germany and this is how he used to lay bricks. Top video mate cheers
I'm a bricklayer from Canada and if I layed bricks like that I would get fired.
