    I have so much respect for this guy i'm a tradesman myself and understand it's so important for apprentices to come into the building trade. Charlie puts himself out to help and teach others fair play to him.

    Mr Collison,
    It is very good to see the next generation of young Bricklayers being trained for their future careers. And full marks to you Mr Collison, for taking the time out to help them.
    P.S Did you give them a lecture on eating well, and living right while you were there.?

    Absolutely brilliant. I have never laid a brick in my life, but I've worked with apprentices for the last 20 odd years and this is the best training they can get. They may not really understand it now, but the way you explain body position, posture, mechanics and the robotics of correct laying will stand them in great stead now and in the future. Great stuff, well done Charlie.

    Earning good coin is great, but being able to teach young'uns to a good standard is a reward in itself. Besides that, to all my fellow trowels, always stick it on bully boy foremen when they're giving apprentices or improvers a hard time. You might be sent down the road but it does make a difference to the young'uns.

    This is a fantastic video…. the greatest bricklaying advice to anyone starting out on the trowel is to use your eyes and judgement to lay more than double checking yourself with a level and if begin your bricklaying career like this as you advance in skill of laying bricks you would also get better and better at eyeing and checking your work less there for would be a very efficient bricklayer…..

    We have always had passionate tradesmen, unfortunately they never want to move into the more political elements of building. if they did we would have apprentice schools in every town, and far better modern buildings. Too many pony architects and accountants run the construction industry.

      @@martin2466 means they may become really successful building contractors, with hundreds of workers, but none venture into a position where they can tell the government how it really is. Before they get to that point they are already part of the system, which in my opinion is flawed.
      Teaching apprenticeships, for instance, is mired in red tape and is a very unpleasant experience for small contractors.
      There may well be builders in parliament, but they have no sway over the civil service who draw up these training plans.

    The trick to interior brickwork, particularly fireplaces is really dry pug. Muck that would suit outdoor work will result in cement bleeds all over the interior stuff. So dry pug, and point as you go. Speed is not of the essence in fireplace building. You're putting something in place that people are going to live with, and look at, for years. Once the pug's gone off a PVA coating makes it easier to clean and less of a dust magnet. Cheers.
