I'm a female just turned 40 and applied for an apprenticeship with a house building company. Not sure if I will get it but I have been watching your videos and love them, learning so much! I want to really understand all the details and be able to work independently doing footings etc. Keep up the great work!
Charlie im a carpenter and i was like you 100 miles an hour then i had a accident cannot walk or talk but im a lot better now but am disabled now you must slow down a bit and think of your later years because there soon come round
Might steal a pinch of this advice Gary but most brickies don't usually see the later years that's why we're all 🤪 we know. A bad day can change your life forever that's for sure.
Hey Charlie, I've been mixing my muck with a paddle mixer because I don't have a cement mixer.. do you think my mix wouldn't be as good because the way a mixer knocks it up compared to a paddle?
As much as I try to explain without actually being on a footing, a lot of the younger trowels I work with in London who also watch your channel struggle with and are keen to learn about building off of the engineer's pins in the concrete. I know how it's done (outside edges of the pins should run brickwork) but like me a lot of lads need to be shown how it's done. Go on, put 'em out of their misery.
@@maxpower1797 You'd be surprised. Five years ago I fucked off house bashing and went to London. Back then I didn't know what an ancon was but now I can fit them. For a lot of trowels in central London all they do are big commercial jobs and would be completely lost on a house.
@@evocarti Ancon is the manufaturer for fixings, which type of fixing do you claim to have learnt to install. I bet none of these lads could set out a basic rough ring segmental arch with trammel heads on the floor. Stuff we did when we where 16/17 years old.
@@martin2466 it’s the same in Australia. The volume builds are pretty basic,no real decorative stuff. I did some arches over 10 years ago but they don’t really do them now. I wish I got to learn more traditional stuff, I’m learning more off your tube than my apprenticeship
Great video as always mate get the practice in for specmix 500 🧱 get up team collison and what gloves you got on there they always look the prefect fit

Brilliant Charlie always wondered how you did set up the profiles. Thank you so much 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Charlie your organizational skills and staying on top of all facets of the job puts you a step ahead
I always wondered what them 3 way clamps were for proper set up that 👍
Nice work Could do you a Video for putting the lines on the profile please Charlie

Really good how you make it look so easy!
Poor old Tom we all.done it 🤣🤣🤣 great set up with the profiles mate another good video 🤣👍🏴
Changy's the fastest on TH-cam, then TTB then magic
Frank is fastest
Ash from mahoneybrickworksltd and Charlie are the 2 fastest Iv seen
@@dizzydean3046 well that's it then 😂

Changy is nit even as fast a Charlie coming from a bricklayer myself seen both Charlie wins that one even though it’s not necessary to compare
charlie magnet the buisness sound
@Charlie Collison, how would you do this without the laser ?

Nice one Charlie lad Happy Easter 🙂✌️
Just build a corner,, so easy
Its Friday, you been on the line of charlie again?
Hi, im in South Africa we do not have the kind if clumps you are using on your profiles.
Can you assist me on getting a seat Please?
I don’t understand why use brick in a big dirty footing
Hi, any advice for someone from London (east) who would like to get a trainee bricklayer job? Thanks.
Would shorter profiles be better ? Just for the footings ?
Yessssss

I’ll show it next week for you 👍🏻
Not rocket science is it, pin is the external corner of the building. Hang your trowels up and head to tesco please.

You don't do it like that mate
Hey buddy 👊🏻
Is there a specific course or certificate needed to start bricklaying and finding work? Thank you
Hello Charlie bro any magnet left??
Where do you get your trowels from charlie???
I would love my House being built overhand can you do it all the way up
Bricklaying for ten years before I built a house off scaffold that is the way it used to be done
Why dont you guys use saw horses and a plank for the brick / block so you dont bend over all day for material?
He normally does to be fare. He hates working off the ground and makes a big point of efficiency usually.
I've been drinking your concoction to help me sleep. It seems to work but does it give you wierd dreams?
Yea 😂😂😂
What would you do with ur profiles if the engineer didnt have it set off
You you pull your lines off the setting out profiles and set the profile where the lines cross
Footings are not like that in the north east. I repeat nothing like that. Trenches, ankle breakers, can hardy get your feet either side blocks
Need to avoid that crap mate.
@@maxpower1797 we do mate, it’s brutal. Quite happy on the scaffold
thats what its always been like for me. they never scrape the middles flat.
@@man1cs171 shite init, be happy to drop on a footing if they were all like that
@@Stephenlightley I know. Would only take 2 seconds for a machine to drop some soil back in after its finished.
Bought a laser 4 months ago the driver dropped a pallet on the clamp and broke it 2 hours after I got it lucky the receiver survived.
Heads would come off
first 1st
Stop corrupting poor Tom
....overhand...ewwwww just as bad as a left hander
Great video as always mate get the practice in for specmix 500 🧱 get up team collison and what gloves you got on there they always look the prefect fit
