Best vid on the topic. No BS , simple, understandable and straight to the point

Thank you Edward for taking the trouble to post this video. Many so called 'tradesmen' would not have the courage to expose themselves to critics. You are doing a fine job teaching our future tradesmen and, no doubt, tradeswomen.

Probably the best one, nice clip Edward

I'm working with a brickie from Luxembourg here in Canada. You guys really know your shit man and are a pleasure to work with as well. Keep making the videos they're awesome. How you don't want a brick buttered is how I was buttering them...lmao Thx again!

Hi Ed...Thanks very much indeed for all of your advice which has been a great help during my training.

Props sir! Best video on the subject that actually explains/shows this and I have looked at hundreds of them. Thank you! :)

Hey can I just say thanks for doing these videos on brick laying...I'm about to lay a three course wall for my shed build and never laid a brick in my life...your videos are very helpful!

I've been trying to get the knack of this for ages after watching your video over and over I finally got it, thanks, I owe u a drink , top man 😄 subscribed.

I like your videos,very informative,gd work

I'm a bit late coming to the party but I'm always amazed at the number of brickies who tap the level to level a brick. I was always told you never tap the level, tap the brick. Neat work nonetheless.

Thanks wayne, keep working hard at it mate

Hi mate good video for beginners and some nice tips

Good video, nice clear instruction

Great vid. Clear as Mud!

Come across your videos via the KZfaq algorithm, thank god! Excellent information and well presented, for a beginner like my self this, this is fantastic information pure gold. Currently building an outbuilding out of bricks 22ft by 12ft. Single skin with pillars. Small mistakes have been been made nothing major, but wish I had found channels like yours before I started building and practiced the techniques before hand, rather than as I build it! Question for you I'm 33 and would like a change of career, in your opinion is 33 too late to train and get qualified as a brick layer? Would be interested in your thoughts. Many thanks for these videos much appreciated 👍🙏

great videos mate . Can you do some more, possibly on block work?

No problem mate, thanks good luck to you 👍

Excellent video! I would like to see a video of how to butter, lay and space bricks on edge.

Nice video. Watching from London, Ontario Canada. Don't use very many frogged bricks, except for restoration. Essential skill laying frogged bricks, nonetheless. Good job!

Superb video

Really talking about the level I'm using is about as important as the hoddie I'm wearing. At any point have I recommended or said this is my personal level? The video on buttering up a brick! I use a stabila 96-2

excellent .. informative. clear...

Really? As a bricklayer you need to do everything in the most efficient way. Minimal movements to achieve a full joint is what you are looking for. Thanks for watching hope you learnt something

nice brick..nice technique good video

Buttering the end of the brick should be one movement just slap it on making sure the face side is full then lay brick and remove with trowel,quicker easier and doesnt soil the brick face in any way,this is how my dad taught me and he been laying bricks for over 60 years

Good bita bricklaying eddie

Enlighten me. So many 'expert' bricklayers....yet you're watching a video on how to butter a brick

Ha ha not heard that one before, take it you don’t work with bricklayers or stabila levels. It applies even pressure to the unlevel bricks and pretty much all bricklayers do it

Stick rule? This is England, we use tape measures and read metric. When training level 1 bricklayers we use a gauge rod. Please appreciate your opinion is not always right and country even regional differences

Great videos , really helped me . Please could you tell what pattern and size trowel you use ? Are you going to do any more videos?

Great tutorial thank you.... (Your cameraman/woman was a bit sleepy though think he/she kept on having nana naps ;-))))))) My question is:- How do you prevent the weight of the new layer of bricks reducing the 10mm mortar bed below?

This is....The Larch!

Edward te felicito de Aca Argentina Cordoba te mando un abrazo cordial .

Interesting how you do it across the pond and how your bricks have the old school frog. I think you have a better a quilty of brick.

Wow I was tought to never hit the level with your trowel .

Please make a video plaster wall complete detail

Hello, Now you tell me!! I have just been doing what you say Not to do. No wonder I had gaps between the ends of the bricks!

You also need to get a good masonry level and throw away those cheap carpenter levels you have.

Are my eyes mistaking me or have you laid some bricks,with the face side inward, only saying, but a very good video 👍🏻

when you range the brick with your level it is better to place it on the top edge not down an inch from the top of the brick.

do you have a video showing how to butter a brick soldier ?

4:46 noooooooo

great explanation! I would also like to see how to lay header brick's, sorry for bad English.

I wonder if Ed got paid for rendering the wall behind the spot board with mortar?

I feeel sorry for that white wall getting splashed with mortar.

👍🏻из России

Not a full 10mm joint?? Please watch me lay the second and third bricks on this wall and watch the mortar spill out

two swipes for a brick joint not three 30% faster

not picking holes pal but you should never tap your level with your trowel !! just saying

Too many keyboard warriors, thanks for comments

Never tap your level any good bricklayer knows that.

You never plumbed it

Where is your stick rule? Why are you gauging your height with a piece of wood. This is bad practice.

opening scene.....you look like you want to slap te camera.....chill winston.....this world is full of keyboard experts.....all paisty and weak.

That is not a full head joint what you are showing. It should be a solid head joint and what you are showing is a hack way of buttering. It has a void in the center. Please stop making videos.
