And it’s a pain in the arse, water the bricks, water the footings, the mortar goes with in ten minutes, like laying sponges, nice work mate

hello rob, love your work very traditional. im a retired bricklayer worked both London area and Canada and south africa then had a heart attack nearly croaked on the way to work one morning in February 2014 near hyde park. Was in coma 2 weeks woke up in st Georges hospital and man just HOT nurses. but the trauma messed me up so bad and extreme low blood pressure like an athlete couldn't stay on my feet without collapsing. spent 3 months in the hospital. Feel I lost half my strength now 65 so sadly packed the bricklaying in. its my 3rd qualified trade. I was a London to brighton ultra runner and now have what they call football injury so miss running far and the" bricks" so I stay sharp by watching you and watching the builders calculations ha . love your videos keep up the good work

Hey Brian,sorry to hear your story mate.I am a 3rd generation Australian bricklayer but am retired now due to a back injury.My Grandfather was Welsh and layed bricks into his late 80's and i only made it to 45 before my back gave up the ghost.I can't say i have watched too many bricklaying videos but have been watching Rob on his arches and helical columns going on for the second hour now.Rob is certainly a class act and a joy to watch.My wife came down to my mancave and saw me viewing Rob laying bricks and i just simply said to her that i may just watch this all day and pretend i went to work.Watching all this work has made me a little weary,i think i will need to go and have a little lay down now....Take it easy and all the best.

I was a tory in Britain but now UKIP and nigel farage. OUT OF EU and British jobs for British workers I say. there is something very special about bricklayers truly the hardest working trade. at 65 I may go back and work part time and lifting the big blocks will bring back the strength soon cheers guys

Nice to see someone take their time and not fire it up as quickly as possible. I've seen a few new build developments where the brickies have only used bricks from one pack and not mixed them and you end up with a patchy finish. Also the purp's run out and look like a wavy line. For the short time saved, the (poor) results are around for a lot lot longer. I like the 'bank robbers' (sawn off Stabila) spirit level you used for checking plumb. No doubt salvaged from a longer level that got damaged in the line of duty. This was a pleasure to watch.

Rob it's interesting to see that the full brick laid in the panel turned up we call a soldier here in Australia is same gauge as 3 courses. Down here in Oz our bricks don't work gauge , full brick with a joint is 240mm and 3 courses is 258mm...you could still build this panel but the bed joints wouldn't run through which is why we mostly do herringbone if any at all.

My Father was a bricklayer as was his father before him, I have always had an interest in bricklaying but served my time as an electrician. My grandfather served a seven year apprenticeship and his trade was known as a builder, my father who has passed away now used to tell me of work he did one job especially was building a gauged arch using bricks called red rubbers and a lime putty box, the arch is still standing at a school in Folkestone in Kent. Really enjoy watching your videos especially the training ones.
