Good video everyone, informative..funny and entertaining. Luverly to see Amy growing and the boys growing in confidence. Keep up the enthusiasm,...and continue to inspire. REspect !!
Hello Charlie . . . for some strange reason I'm addicted to watching your videos, I find them interesting, entertaining and a little bit educational. I'll never be a brick layer, but, as a graphic designer I can understand the creativity and precision and hard work in your job. Thank you so much for these fantastic videos.
Back in the day (80’s), all the brickies would ‘season’ a new trowel, by roughing the edges slightly and taking the shine off of the palm and bend the handles to suit how they worked.
Hahaha ofcourse im watching :D every day waiting for a videos to watch it :) im from Poland. Thank You for Your kind words and once again it was a real pleasure to chat with You it realy mean a lot to me !
Siema Macieju, ja tez ogladam prawie codzienne. Charlie wydaje się spoko gość i ma ciekawą wiedzę praktyczną. Mam nadzieje ze wszystko wypali znakomicie. Pozdrawiam!
Those look like the thermalite blocks I used to use back in the UK over forty years ago. They look a lot longer in size but they are so light you can lay them with one hand just like laying a brick. Two brickies could build a garage in a day and they were very strong walls. I will never understand why they were never produced in Australia as they are mainly made from power station dust. They would be a great product for walls that could be rendered and look amazing. They have a similar block here called Hebel which requires a special compound to bed them and they are very expensive. These Thermalite blocks are bedded with normal mortar and are a lot more reasonable in cost.
Lol great video 👍 Lunch break looked good nice selection of chicken there! 🐔 What's that? Jim will be on site next to Frank with Sam? Anymore been said about another gang joining you on that 3rs lift? Your all working well as a team , hope this new lad on Monday fits in well 👍 Looking forward to seeing magic work with you on a trial day. Keep up that good work and thanks for the hour upload, all the best cya in the next one 👍💪👊👌🤙💯🍺✅
Credit to you Charlie I’ve been subbed a good while now and you always are calm wen teaching people it’s take a certain personality to be able to do that wen ya grafting ya self ! I couldn’t do it I’m way too short tempered and couldn’t bare the mistakes humans need people like you or we’d all learn f##k all ! 👌🏻👌🏻
Toothing out is frowned upon because it introduces a plane of weakness which undermines the structural integrity of the building. You nailed it yourself, its impossible to get the same full connection between brick/block and mortar. And its more likely that you will leave voids when trying to force the mortar in retro actively.
Unreal how you keep on top of what everyone else is doing and yourself. Anyone that does this knows how hard it is to do so and get some down yourself.
I used to teach a class of up to 10 in a young Offenders institute and it sure keeps you on your toes but as they progress it gets a whole lot easier and than you get new students and the cycle repeats. Lol
Block cutters are great. Instead of adjusting the height the whole time have it just high enough for the block to go in and pull the lever down. When you go back the next time your not messing with the height of the block cutter
You’ve got tremendous patience with your crew bud you get an amazing amount of good work done despite the interruptions. Great vid. So happy you’re goin again
Hi love you're videos you are a inspirational hard working young man wondering whether you regret the tattoos on your neck and hands thanks for the videos
Charlie, I get that your training some of your staff as you go, but you seem to spend more time correcting or setting out for them than you do laying blocks, what sort of time do you think you invest in a new starter before they are trusted enough for you not to have to check there work ?
How many hours a day do you fast for? Do you struggle through the day? Want to give it ago, but I'm a spread and need to eat regular otherwise I'll drop. Good work mate
I fast for anything between 18-20hrs and then eat in 4-6 hour window, that said you might want to try less then work up. I also do the keto alongside it and now find all I need to eat is 1 meal with some multivitamins. Your better off looking on TH-cam for some advice their are some good people to listen to.
What are those clamps called mate that you can slide through the bed joint they have a little bar on other side that catches the brick? You have one on your profile set up at 7:18
@@neilsmart78 nice one thanks for that did t know about brickies bits, noticed he has Dori blocks ! But there out of stock currently, will keep checking would like to get some Dori blocks as well as t clamps. Thanks for sharing that information 👍👍👊
T clamps from BT Engineering. Use code Charlie for 10% discount but don't be surprised if they're out of stock as Charlie has them all. Lol. I have a couple and they're pretty good
When the mortar drops down the cavity, after removing excess mortar from the bricks just laid, Does this affect the damp proof course in any way ? I’m not a brickie just a DIYer who is interested. It’s not a criticism I’m just asking.Does the Mortar make a difference if it builds up at the bottom of the cavity. Or is it of no consequence?
If there was enough muck too bridge both walls above dpc then yes it would cause the dpc too fail and is alot of work to put right you would have too be a horrendous at making your bed too fill a cavity above dpc😅
I would disagree. Years ago, we always did face work first. Knocked the snots off and then backed it up with the blocks. Far easier to keep cavity clean. The big plus was setting out all your openings to work bricks too. Just saying😉
@@justycrusty yeah it was bricks, scrape back then blocks. Was cleaner then I agree but maybe blocks 1st is best as capitalises on using profiles, sets window levels, and helps preventing wind damage costs, since blocks are easier to repair than brick panels... And doing locks 'backs facework befotehand'
Amy wonna jump in the middle when we start x2 means common hod get that muck on the boards you slag 😂😂😂 only joking interesting set up doing brickwork first but then again some of the tastiest work I've seen has been built by 2 tasty trowels brickwork first
No wastage!!!! You've got blocks sitting on the floor 300 long but using a new block for a 140 cut???. You seen how much muck is on the floor try putting your joint on over your muck board. You cart a block cutter up there to cut your blocks when a bolster fits in your bucket
That's the first time I've seen a bricky be bothered about fitting a window former properly ,us window fitters will thankyou for that

Do you know what, it’s nice to see someone teach as well as you do without frustration, a happy worker will go that extra mile.
Respect to this guy. Good mentor and pride in his work.

You make brick laying look effortless serious skill mate even if it block work your attention to detail is spot on
I'm so glad I only do private work now. I would rather sit at home than work on site again. Great video as always Charlie

Takes years to master. A good few years on the trowel to become confident and then another 3-4 years to learn Everything else that comes with it

the more i watch the more i convince myelf i will never step foot on a building site ever again
Wish we could use Celcons for Jack/ Chucker walls its all concrete in North East Charlie ?
Where's Harry cam gone!! 😂

Nowt wrong with a bald patch Charlie 👨🏽🦲 😆🤣🧱👍🏽
How long did frank last
Great video! Well entertaining!!
Anything else been said about them getting a gang in to finish 3rd lift mate? That's a piss take that is
does the block cutter cut through concrete blocks aswell?.. I’m thinking of investing in one
hello 👋 from Greece nice 👍👍
By the time you have set the internal profile up on blockwork surely in 10 to15 mins the corner would be completely built
What trowel u using
Bloody hell, they are so fussy with the blockwork, looks neater than the brickwork!!! 😂😂😂
Do you prefer brickwork first or block-work first in the ideal situation
42:25 professionals have STANDARDS
Fasting 😈"well if your offerin I 'll have a fajitas. 😆
Banging vids man, wish I could do some long format ones like this, might try it out soon
agree with the new marshalltown trowel not being as strong, got a new replacement recently and it damages very easy on the edge.
Made with cheaper grade materials and still want top money for it, sad to see nothing is built to last anymore..
And goes black with rust in days
What trowel is that mate
Hi love you're videos you are a inspirational hard working young man wondering whether you regret the tattoos on your neck and hands thanks for the videos
N more great ab
No more grief about that 3rd lift? Great work
He returns!!
I wish them blocks were around 20 years ago they look so light.
Them light old durex blocks selcons or ting togs are best really

Wagwan Charlie i find your videos hella useful bro cheers by the way do you know whats the best way i could get myself a apprenticeship?
Just ring about companies
How many hours a day do you fast for? Do you struggle through the day?

Good work mate
