Is it just me or dose any1 else find Charlie therapeutic laying bricks 🧱?? If not I don’t care 🤷♂️ coz I do!!!! Another great 👍 video Charlie, how many bricks did you and Harry lay??
I’ve been a great admirer for decades of English brickwork & all the different bonds & brick types. I’ve seen so many over the country. Great to see Charlie & co. keeping it going; notwithstanding all the good brickie’s around the U.K. (& of course their support gangs)👍 No need snagging your work Charlie; what’s the point.
I finished me pond block work today Charlie, 11 trench blocks high laid on there sides, first time laying blocks and I think it’s a cracking job, just followed what you boys do, corners first, use the level plenty and don’t have the muck to dry. Thanks for the training buddy 👌👌👌
You.are a craftsman , I've been a bricklayer for 42 years . Keep up the good work, your videos should be a training aid for anyone thinking of joining our club
Love your videos, I’m a bricklayer down here in Melbourne Australia where right now us construction workers can’t even work cause we are locked down! 18 months in lockdown and still going sadly! Keep up the good work mate
Hi pal...love your posts...just a quick question....on the garden wall... Header course..i noticed you put a 3/4brick at the end ... I may be old fashioned...but I always out a stretcher then a queen closure to bring it back to header bond ...is this a thing of the past now ?
@@lawrencecarlin4023 Mr carlin. When I was working in London (a long time ago) all the work we we're doing at the time was restoration and refurbishment. I'm sure you're aware but most of the bonds in London are Flemish, English garden etc and all our closures, Queen closures headers/bats for single skin we're all cut on a clipper saw and allowed to dry before we were allowed to use them. Back then doing that work I was in my early 20s and hadn't been "house bashing" before. If you laid 250 brick back then you'd had a good day believe it or not. None of this bucket handle jointing etc. It was either weather struck or flush pointed and brushed back.. How I miss those times
@@lawrencecarlin4023 wasn't something that I was taught. Whilst I done my apprenticeship in London learning these bonds and styles of pointing, the "Westminster smudge" wasn't acquired on any of the jobs that I was on. I was working mainly on "the boltons" just by Stamford Bridge. Not far from Fulham Broadway. Was a brilliant experience and place to learn the trade. But sadly it wasn't sustainable (I live in brighton) travelling was a nightmare to say the least. But I was lucky not many, if any learn the different bonds and pointing styles nowadays
@@martin2466 Friday was a bit brutal I won't lie. Was fairly warm, I've lost a bit of conditioning! I.e put on a few pounds and holding the trowel felt a bit alien for the 1st hour. By 3ish the foot had swollen so, I called it a day. The lads were happy! Monday didn't do much as was rather wet, today worked until lunchtime. Felt my speed was back today though. But its been I nice introduction back really. Nothing too stressful. I feel I need another 2/3 weeks until its fully healed but we'll see. How're you keeping?
Nice work buddy, looks spot👌 Do you enjoy doing garden walls like these with the patterns in? Did many people turn up on friday mate? Everyone was quiet..still bit rough from Friday🍻🍻😂😉
engineers all over the country don't know what brick coursings are... the amount of times we have to point out to different engineers that houses/garages/walls attaching to each other have to course, when they have shown it 100mm etc, is crazy.
most are not engineers they just have a hnc in construction studies a civil engineer has a degree in civil engineering the word engineer is used just about for any manual worker eg gas fitters calling theselves engineers shocking in most countries it is the highest proffesion above a medical doctor
@@zaidhussain3658 cheers for the reply, I'm an architectural teccy, have been for over 20years, in my profession we generally call civil engineers as engineers, as everybody we would be talking to would know who you are talking about.
English garden wall is 6 course stretchers 1 corse herders Fleming garden wall is 3 stretchers 1 herder laid along the course English bond is one course herders one course stretchers it used to be called London bond
The English brick bond alternates rows of headers with rows of stretchers. This type of wall-building uses more bricks than a stretcher bond, so is rarely used for largescale residential developments, but it is often considered one of the best and strongest brick bond designs around.
The one thing that I'd hate as a bricklayer is having to wear a hardhat 24-7 on the job.I was never one that liked wearing a hat.even in cold northeast winter day's I never would wear a hat.I just hated it.
Whenever The camera would pick up Harry he'd mostly just be standing around,never seeing a brick in his hand's, lol.very little snap in his step.he just looks like he totally doesn't want to be there,lol.
Been a roofer for 34 years now, watching these guys laying bricks realy takes the stress out of me and find it calming. Love you all colin super fan

@@martin2466 think might be hanging the trowel up in a few years its a young man's game today seems to be more about speed . Thanks pal
That trowel looks like tiny!
I wish I could get a minuets silence from the boys I work with.
No header closer these days, suppose there is no point although it looks better, nice work Charlie
Your right mate

@@stuartjones1982 any one doing above 400 bricks per day wont be doing a good job what year did you start brickwork
Why not use 2 profiles? I assume you're on a price here or is it day work as it had to be knocked down?

Dont get too ahead on the garden wall itl be knocked down for the bricks
It's quiet today. have they had words lol
that bond is Common Bond looks good when you build a house using this bond
No it's English garden wall bond
@@steveh1246 english is 3 then 1 , 5/6 or 7 then a header is common bond👍
english garden wall bond

then again same can be said for 99% of architects who don't know brick dims as well..

@@martin2466 ha ha true, there are some decent guys out there..
@@martin2466 out of interest what do you do Martin?
Iwas always told that if it is more than 3 courses of stretchers then a header it was called American bond
english garden wall 3 and a header 5 and a header scottish bond 7 and a header american bond
@@larry6518 English Garden yes 3 stretchers and a header 👍
What happened Friday night? You're keeping quiet about it. Good night?? 😂😂😂
English garden wall is 6 course stretchers 1 corse herders Fleming garden wall is 3 stretchers 1 herder laid along the course English bond is one course herders one course stretchers it used to be called London bond
No its not mate ,English garden wall Is. 3 stretchers 1 header ,...or 5 stretchers and 1 header...or 7 stretchers 1 header....😀
Never 6
No swearing no music
English garden wall not Fleming bond

Early today so not last. How many turned up for a drink last Friday Charlie?
Does everyone call them corners when they're not actually a corner? I know I do!
The one thing that I'd hate as a bricklayer is having to wear a hardhat 24-7 on the job.I was never one that liked wearing a hat.even in cold northeast winter day's I never would wear a hat.I just hated it.
Very quiet today 🙄

Hi
Whenever The camera would pick up Harry he'd mostly just be standing around,never seeing a brick in his hand's, lol.very little snap in his step.he just looks like he totally doesn't want to be there,lol.
My mate fancies you. Would you consider going with a gay guy?
It's so relaxing to see the bricks wall be build up. I just don'y like your tattoos. A little scary.
