Totally agree with that one lads so many little hitlers out there.No need to be like it at all works both ways 👍

@@martin2466 same martin and spot on mate .There is actually no need for it is there its a ive got the power thing .with power comes responsibility and they dont get it .Some people don't deserve to be incharge . Justin 👍

@@martin2466 when I give my hoddy praise, he's the best in the world, then he has monday off, I bollock him and he's (wac) until I praise him again! Lol.... he'll always be wac

@@martin2466 he certainly is! Wise and charming he'll always be 😉🤭

Wrong again kid only on stone not brick boy!

That's his dad.😆

@@galdessa1 😆

@@martin2466 yes he put a lot off working systems in place we still use today not just bricklaying, factory lines and even operating theatre 👍🏻

Same re the books. Full set of 1948 Caxtons, 'Modern Practical Building', use them all the time as many of the buildings I've worked on are from that period...

Prep is the way to go, keeping the perps in line makes a difference,until the only eyes are pigeons, Westminster smudge, bullying gangster foremen,get fuck all done,the trowel gets stuck in the spotborad, the fucking hoist isn't working,day work,sign the paperwork,how times have changed,lvcx

@@martin2466 Georgie White's firm. They were before my time but I've heard many a story about Hightower.

@@martin2466 think they also had a mob "skyline" i used to do a lot of work round liverpool street and everyone avoided these mobs ,blokes getting knocked and dealt with if they complained , i worked for city brickwork and southern counties "dave milburn " this was late 70/s early 80/s to be honest those big jobs around the city were a doss all blockwork and you could hide the sites were so big

Whilst I appreciate your admiration at the work on show, there are other bricklayers in the world. Of course not all of them display their technique on yt. But may I suggest you check out rob songer on here. He has some spectacular builds

@@stuartjones1982 Right on bro, thanks a lot for the advice.i will definitely check it out. I liked Charley's channel because he shows his techniques like you said and struggles. Also I find interesting personal vlogs and how people live in other parts of the world. Thanks a lot bro.

@@JesusMartinez-bx8dh no worries my friend 👍

block and beam. not to common in the states

@@johndixon4003 ok thank you, was wondering never seen that before

Get a glass pointing key on Speedcrete for point white mortar.

Think its a window but yeah maybe swap the header and closer probably look better.

@@martin2466 indeed, only 2 possible in the equation. Answers on a postcard....

@Shinobi a very interesting point made sir, I fall into the same category as yourself and @martin, in that I feel its not really a bond. But a very thought provoking point indeed 👍

Just ordered some

@@CharlieCollison Good to hear you’ve got things covered 👍🏼

That's the way of the world my friend

I got them from Waterstones when I was at college don’t know if that still stock them if not Amazon

@@landyfan1238 now then I forgot about Waterstones 🤦‍♂️ Amazon just says unavailable, been hoping Charlie would have said where he got them from as my 14 year old is obsessed with his brick work and he has inspired him be a bricklayer, he is getting to that stage in school where he needs to decide where he goes from leaving school.

@@martin2466 Whoops.

@@martin2466 3/4 should go under the windows ideally. Never on a door or window reveal. In any bond. Half bond, English, Flemish whatever. Even on timber frame houses I’d find a way around it, general you set this out at the beginning to avoid it. That’s what I have always been taught by college and every bricklayer worth their wage. I’m not slagging Charlie off because he’s clearly a top bricklayer and I wouldn’t still be here watching his videos after all this time. But he does chuck 3/4s up reveals on every job he’s on and it’s bad practice imo.
