Wish your vids had been around when I was a young apprentice back in the day. Passing on tips and experience was not something the older blokes were much good at, so you learned very slowly and sometimes never got to know some of the more efficient ways of doing stuff. You’re a top lad and a very good teacher

I was the lead man back in the day, but I always started with the corner brick. First time I've seen it done this way.

Seems like a simple task, but as a stone lad, that corner in brick would take me an hour. Loving these schooldays thanks Charlie, the fluency game is what I lack, I can see your vids speeding me up quite a bit in the future when I have to lay brick.

Lovely work , making it look easy

Well Mr Collison take a bow!! English bricklayer here living in Australia. I have watched you for a good few years now and that has to be my favourite video yet. Keep it going Charlie 💪💪💪

Great work and advice as always Charlie

I wanted Charlie to go to another corner and build it up.that was so enjoyable. Cheers

Brilliant Charlie, great video for your apprentices and all apprentices in the trade. A master at work.

i`m gonna be a brick layer, and this is really helpfull!

Phenomenal video for young lads. You won't build a bang on corner free hand any quicker whilst being as neat as you have just shown in 20 minutes. Great point about chucking the 20+ high courses in the bin too. I can see you have your mind on chucking a few videos out for the apprentices/improvers to just condition their thought process when starting a bit of work. Well done on the tip to show em about the snots coming back through on to the next course. The Nhbc seem to car more about cavity cleanliness than whether a house was built plumb lol. 👍

You have to admire the skill in doing that so quickly and perfectly.

Thank you ❤ you doing amazing job , with passion 😊

Nice work esp how u picked up the last brick with the trowel 😊 one tip i learnt the hard way might be worth a mention if you are using the level a lot is, as you get higher up i.e brick work higher than the length of yr level, dont lean it on the wall as it can wedge in a bed joint and the flex in the scaffold boards can lift the bricks above, not a massive deal usually just a pain in the ass getting them looking tidy again. Keep up the good work found it therapeutic watching and listening to u do that 🥴

This video is really helpful. Thank you Charlie✌️

The only Bricky anyone needs to watch and listen to

Perfect - lovely smooth rhythm

Loving the vids Charlie, useful for us young architects as well to understand how sites operate!

my elbow is already hurting watching you use that shovel

I like you’re videos very much

Greetings from Denmark, really enjoying seeing another culture of bricklaying

Charl u make it looks so easy mate

I design sewage treatment works with a massive team of engineers and thought that was fairly specialised!! I have built a new entrance wall and gates thanks to your videos. You make it look so easy for a very skilled talent that you have. It is a pleasure to watch. Thanks Charlie

great technique mate very good video for apprentices

Lay my first brick tomorrow on course started this week. You are a legend already. Can't wait. Noted every word. Nice work, nice vid.

Nice job there mate

Great vid. Thanks, Man. ✌️

brilliant re writing collage , lol it works break every rule , dont hit the level lol, start at the corner lol, and furrow the muck, what you do is amazing, its not rocket science but it works. ive been in the building game all my life and laid many bricks wish id seen you earlier lol i am nearly retiring now, keep up the good work Charlie and i like you say please and thank you , well done . also how you lay all them brick is amazing i was quite fast as a brickie most i ever laid was 1200 brick in a day on a 9inch wall lol. NEVER AGAIN , hand built corners and loads of messing keep it simple good vids .

Beautiful

He said please for the wall ties?!?! Thank you sir. You’re a craftsman. You don’t waste a move with that trowel. 👍

Okay I like this content, watched enough, subbed!

Its good to see you have come to your senses and finally using a proper trowel, instead of them 9 inch tin thing you and your new mate were trying to sell

Very nice work 👍👍👍👍

Eu também trabalho com construção civil faço reformas de casa apartamento comercial já tenho 14 anos de experiência no mercado de construção civil mas eu comecei ah pota vídeo agora mas já tenho um bom resultado 🎉parabéns pelo seu trabalho

Good to see 👍🏼👍🏼

How do you get the block work down under the floor ?? They told us at collage not to get into "corner trouble" by doing the blocks first - stepping them out then the face bricks - is there a faster method like you have done ?? thanks

great stuff

I met Charlie in Pattaya Thailand got to be 5 years ago now, proper Londoner, work looks spot on

Great Video

Lubberly Jubberly Excellent Corner You make it look so easy but then to do the same as you have shown will come out fine OH i wish i was a youngan My Millionaire Dream would be achievable I pick things up so easy hence time in belmarsh Joking No i would make a great Bricklayer because i have patience and attention to Detail and I Wanna do it Do's that make sense ?? See you on the next one Bud.

Enjoyed watching that, nice 1 Chaz x

Well fast, never done it that way

Built a corner and the other lads still hadn't got a single block down that he was asking them to start doing at the beginning of the video 😂

Legend

The traditional bricklayer would have only picked his level up once let your eye be your guide 😂top video mate 👍

Very methodical

First from Essex...

we used to build corners 2 handed, 1 brickie each side, it was quickie than 1 brickie building both sides of the corner !

Best way to run a flat bed for those bricks

Pretty to watch, no pigs in this guys work.

Charl it's a very for me to see who's the best ,you or dean .

Lovely old job Charlie

Great work Charlie

Hi Charlie, again loving the videos mate 👌. Can you show in one of your next vids ideally how far the line should be away from your bricks. I’m not sure if I am setting mine up to close because I get a few areas that are not plumb as can be. Thank you in advance.

Worked in brickies union in Nee york, on d high risers, Always had 2 men building corners, keeping shead ofbd other brickies,filling in the wall, was efficent system,🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮

Many different ways to build, to build corners. Charlies way is efficient, which the thumbnail says. No wasted movements, no going back and forth. Personally wherever possible i always use profiles because its the most efficient and accurate if you know how to set them up properly.

They used to send me down the drains to build the manholes, not sure if it was because I was good or terrible! Deepest manhole I built was 21 feet deep and built from Normanton engineering brick, I was bent over or crouched for days and could hardly straighten my back at the end of the week.

Nice ccorner

Old Matey over rowhedge is still wondering if you’re gonna download that app or not ?

Easy to get a roll in the wall over openings...or starting & stopping points vertically. Jointing can roll the wall too, if too wet , etc.

nice work

What work pants do you use Charlie ?

Did I miss something Charlie I’m not a bricklayer but I’m fascinated on your work But why not starting on corners than coming in

Nice

damn pretty nice brick laying. i did it for about 15 years then got out of it rain too much

Hi Charlie just Brandon can yku give me any help in building a pillar and how to gauge

dont know if it still applies years ago formen would pick best bricklayer in the gang whos sole job was to build corners and let the roughens run in

С голыми руками и кучами раствора рядом...это не возможно в России, где кладут кирпич полгода при отрицательных температурах. Вы работаете в тепличных условиях, господа! И стена в пол-кирпича-это самая легкая практика для каменщика. Я сейчас при минус 5-8 выкладываю часовню с толщиной стены 77см... Английский каменщик просто обкакается в России, а русский в англоязычных странах прекрасно выдержит конкуренцию.

Knocking the stack of bricks with that shovel 🤣

Teaching young ones to hit their level 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

César 🧔🏻💪

Hay Charlie U know how U do the quick tape measure what is the depth ur looking at on each level and what measures are they supposed to be .. cheers Aaron from New Zealand 😎😎

How does bigger trowel cause problems? Iv always used larger trowels

Do you guys work all winter? We tent in the staging here in the U.S an heat it

That trowel is a f*cking shovel!!! Made my arm hurt just watching. 🤮 thats a really good corner technique. 👏🏻

Some one grab him some bloody wall ties

I was always told to lay first at corner and plumb,then last brick and plumb,then run the middle in and level,this is in reverse😮

Charl how many bricks for 100

100 pound to guess how many bricks😁

I hit the level , most say its a no no , ive got a stanley level , and you could drive a truck over it , in Australia your bed would be dry laying 10 bricks

Couldn’t build potatoes round mince😂lovely old job👍

Why build a corner with profiles? May aswl run the whole flank if ya set them up? Maximise bricks layed surely?

Profiles never used and always teach my apprentices to build corners line monkeys you end up with

Alright Shakespeare 😂😂

Why you laying there you should start at corner so it plumb level and correct height do you not

Building a corner prior to running in is redundant for cosmetic purposes because once you run the line in then look down the bed joint theres a kink where the both corners have been built, and it looks RAF. Using profiles, you get a nice straight bedjoint all the way through each course.. Can't believe this still has to be explained. lol

Why is there no insulation in the cavity?

They taking robbing us in wales we have to put wall ties every 600mm, have to use insulation bats and we get payed less also 😂

Why the huge trowel charlie

218 bricks

Sort them spot boards out

Why would you not bring up d inner leaf first

78 bricks

Been a brickie for 48 years and never used a profile in all these years Worked in central scotland all my days seem to use them a lot in england I can see the benifits of using a profile though

With profiles you’ll have the whole walls run in, you only doing corners to teach corners? And masses of job dodging going on by apprentice 😂 ‘Charlie will I go and get the wall ties? ( and take al day)’. ‘Charlie ..will I go and polish the van’ ‘Charlie will I go and get the tea bags, they’re on special at Aldin’ ‘Charlie can I do anything except build bricks…?’ 😂

What’s with the fucking 85 foot trowel, where’s Charlie collision and who’s this clone

I'm glad ammys not on site it's to rough for her .

Forgot your ties brother

just hate to see bricklayers not using full head joints

🏗️🏘️🏘️🏘️🏘️🏘️🏠🏘️

There’s no way each course was 75 mm , might of been 300 600 overall but 76/77 /74/73 more like each course bloody impressive yea but just saying
