I don't have a problem with the tapping. Engineering studies have shown that gentle tapping of brick while being laid increases tensile bond strength with mortar from 25-50 % ! I would sacrifice any other perceived benefit one may anticipate by hand pressure only to achieve the real bond strength realized. That finding was discovered by masonry engineer Christine Beall and published in several of her papers and one of the books she has authored.
You will learn with experience speed is not everything. A full head joint is far superior than just a spit from jointer. After a few years to the weather you will see all those little corners start to pop. It's ok to have fun and throw them in but experience will teach you to slow down a bit. thanks for the vid.
listen dude, I put it on Facebook for my mate to see and it was a betamax production so I put it on TH-cam for clarity purposes. Didn't realise how many sad nobs there was who think,and I mean think who can do a better job 😁 I'll name these dikeds in my next video 👍
Peter Hamilton my ass you've been bricklaying for 36 years, more like 36 minutes. That pathetic cowboy builder sucks at bricklaying and sticks to private work because he would get fired if he worked on site with his shit work.
Hahaha it's funny when you see these heros who complain about other people in their trade and complain about their work ( when ANYONE who knows anything can see that it's perfectly fine . ) you guys ( like you and your boyfriend Slap Box princess ) are a dime a dozen hahahah you're the exact type that pull up to a job site and immediately nit pick everyone else's work and act like you're some sort of hero that is gonna save the planet one brick at a time hahaha . News flash losers , you're NOT that good , and every single person in your trade who is around you thinks you're an asshole and secretly ( if not openly ) totally hated you . Hahaha it's so simple to see your type from a mile away . Pointing at the work and talking loud " look at THAT spot , OMG it's so bad . I'd FIRE that guy if I WAS in charge ( which you NEVER will be hahaha ) . Dine a dozen wannabe . Haha slap slap slap . Sit down dum dum
When it pushes the brick down the bed fills the bottom and when he puts the bricks down on top for the next course it goes into them perps, time is money. Work smarter not harder
Nice brickwork I've been on the trowel years now but I still hate laying smooth reds, you can't help but smudge a bit but nothing a bit of acid can't take off. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos All the best
I am a complete novice at bricklaying. It seems to me that there is a LOT of skill involved, but a good brikkie just makes it look so easy because of his expertise.
and for everyone moaning about the perps , its a 9inch wall in strecther bond and hes filling the joints 3quarters full wich is acceptable and the wall is in engineering bricks aint going knowhere sometimes in life u have to get them down
I dont lay bricks, I'm a makeup kinda girl but I think you're doing a fine job. TH-cam put you in my recommendations so I watched several of your videos and I want to build something now😂 good music selection👌
Matthew Greenway from where I stand, you are the foreigner. Fast for sure, but the whole idea is not having to go back on a job once you're done, isn't it?
Slap Box City Bitch haha takes twice as long ?? You hand to joint your work ANYWAY moron . Weather your joints are perfectly full or not . If you don't finish your work then you're a hack. That's the luxury of you idiots doing commercial piece work . You don't have to go back and tool your work because no one knows or cares . Private work ALWAYS has to be tooled because it has to be presentable and respectable . Apparently you know nothing about THAT side of the job . Keep building your malls back . Hahahah leave the finish work to the grown ups .
This guy is good. He lays bricks the same way I was taught to lay them by a trade school teacher in the US years ago. The key to laying bricks fast is in the mud spreading. Spread just enough mud where you can press out enough mortar out of the bed joint, to butter the head joint. My teacher never once tapped on a brick, the mud was mixed to the right consistency where he pressed it with his hand. If you're tapping on a brick, it's costing you time. If you have to tap on the brick, it means your mud needs a little water and is too dry. This teacher, by himself, would brick a 3 bedroom home in 2 days. He could lay bricks faster than you could throw them to him. I never layed bricks for a living and just took the class to know how to build my own home. Unfortunately the careers of most bricklayers are usually over by age 40 due to back problems from bending over and this was one reason I didn't want to make a career out of it.
@@MatthewGreenway fuck. i cant believe i fucked up that badly.................................................................................................................................................................................. as a massive rh fan ima go into hiding for 100 years now, and bury myself in my shame.
great bricklaying. Can i use 30 seconds of this video on a youtube compilation i am putting together. I will add a link to this video in the description. Please let me know if this is ok. Thanks, Graham
I would like to see two courses deconstructed just to see if the head joints are being filled by the mortar being pushed down by the upper course of brick.
Dustin Noonan I don't get it either. Put it on for my mates cos it wouldn't upload to facebook. Didn't realise the response it would get lol! Thanks anyway 👍
Slap Box City Bitch you really must be one sad fucker. If you don't like it then don't watch it... It really is that simple. Nearly as simple as you probably are.
Haha! Can't believe the comments on here... joints are in line...plenty of muck in there , once jointed no issues what so ever, he's fast and clean! No staining of the bricks.... what is it about people hating! This guy knows what he's doing.... end of
Whys everyone hating this guys right bricklaying is easy, he shows it, don't worry bout your perps, don't want bout the levels, don't worry bought the thickness of your perps and beds this guy said it's easy and it clearly us
Slap Box City Bitch bro I know I'm a brickie it's the easiest shit anyone can do it. My 13 year old son lays bricks just as good as me just bit the same speed
jealousy will get you nowhere. go and have an early night and you might wake up in a better mood. thanks for your comment though, no doubt I'll improve for it.
All these melts talking rubbish behind a screen I'm a brickie and there ain't nothing wrong with what this guy is doing in fact I'd say he's a top trowel, yea there marked a bit but if you know your stuff then you should know engineers always mark up, give it a brush and a few months of weathering that wall won't have a mark on it.. you see so many chancers trying to lay bricks these days it's nice to see there's still a good few trowels about, but most good trowels won't go near a site now it's not worth hassle or the money were all doing domestic work like this walls extensions etc and by the way that's a good technique you got there you don't see it much, you really get in the rhythm bet you stick a few down don't ya! Not to sure about your radio station choice though lol nice video mate
decent enough job I'd say . only engenerings anyway . only criticism I'd have would be not leaving them weep holes sticking out another 20 mm or so save the stain from the run off
I'm advanced craft myself, I can do the decorative shit myself, the difference is I can slam them in and no doubt blitz you on bricks and blocks. Maybe you can put a tutorial on how to butter a brick😴
I bet you are awesome. people who put negative feedback on videos like this are normally wank. it's all about earning money and that's what I do. slamming them in is the new trend. we are not in the 40's now pal. get over it, I'm faster than you end of. no tie wires either💪
Anyone on here explain why wall ties are needed on a 9inch wall? And why are you tapping every brick you lay, thanks? Is it to tie both together because its stretcher bond and is tapping is for better adhesion? Some say tapping is a bad thing so any experts care to explain, thanks.
His wall looks good bond looks good nice joints exc but the wee holes he’s leaving at top of most joints would do ma head in when going to point the wall.

You know what I don't see what everybody is bitching about. The wall looks damn good
Yeah its really good, im just thinking about those perp joints.
It will probably be fine but id fill em tf up personally.

I do it properly and I drive a rolls Royce
Tom Hoggard that's a nice car

I know you only seem to respond to negative comments but do you recommend this job as a career or temporary work?
I would mate but more and more buildings are being built with less and less bricks!
and for everyone moaning about the perps , its a 9inch wall in strecther bond and hes filling the joints 3quarters full wich is acceptable and the wall is in engineering bricks aint going knowhere sometimes in life u have to get them down
gareth jones yes fair enough but it’s a retaining wall and no holes for drainage and no room for clean stone in behind??

iPr0 Gaming its easy when the perps are not completly full. Perpes need to be full for a good quality wall.
Slap Box City Bitch bro I know I'm a brickie it's the easiest shit anyone can do it. My 13 year old son lays bricks just as good as me just bit the same speed
iPr0 Gaming so about people hating on his work, your question is answered.
Slap Box City Bitch ???
iPr0 Gaming you where why people where hating
they're as full as they need to be before jointing and I'm driving round in a 911 4s so I ain't doing too bad but thanks for the critical analysis
Matthew Greenway driving a 911 because your a con man. Why cut the excess muck into the floor? Very bad craftsmanship if one dares to call it that
😂
show me how to do it then. I'll look forward to it
Good job
Matthew Greenway anyone can blag a job fella, just some are better than others LOL.
cross joint suck no matter what you drive!
PaddleDogC5 true that
The brickwork is more depressing than the music. Fucking mess
jealousy will get you nowhere. go and have an early night and you might wake up in a better mood. thanks for your comment though, no doubt I'll improve for it.
Matthew Greenway don't know what he's talking about man! Your a fast and consistent brick layer. And you've got a nice style
Alex Sircus speed isn't everything, quality is more important than shit joints😂
I wanna be this guys apprentice man. Hes good
I am a bricklayer and have been for 12 year i wouldnt wana run a line in with this guy he would leave me for dust nice work mate
things are heating up in the bricklaying fandom
you should not be re-tapping and cutting off the mortar twice press down to the line one cut should provide you with your next joint
kjrutter17 race me for money then?
No full perps, tapping the bricks and wasting the mortar but great music in the background

where's the term sling come from mate,we're all saying it at work now 😁

Right on fitzy
Yah, now look at how many holes you gotta fill now before you joint
Matthew Greenway yah your better at pointing because it looks like you've had a lot of practice filling in holes, I'd have a wall done before you set your corner post up bud
You're probably about as fast as your come back.. 🤔
Wow bro haha love the facials if employ u any day lol
Nice to see they let a labourer have a go . That wall will be lucky to last the summer the way his laid those bricks . This guy ain't got a clue . Unfortunately people who know nothing about brick laying will watch this and think his good . The mix is wrong . The bricks are not level . His laid bricks in the wrong order. Some bricks have been laid upside down.
🤣
Fucking hell. LOL.
I was thinking the same
Sounds like a lot of jealousy in these comments lol
So true
u nick that 911..?
Why not throw the muck you scrape off back onto the board? Poor hoddies probably doing an extra gauge a day to make up for what's on the floor lol
Any perps ? Two
Hours jointing hope
He is not on price 💸
You borrow them bricks from the groundworkers 😜 .
U a bricklayer ot brick tapper??????
tapper mate
If u didn't tap them all 3 times u would be quite quick
Them joints though
You should have made the back of that wall common block work waste on money doing it in brick. and shit load of stains on your brickwork
It's somebody else's back garden you rough fucka..
You sound well hard...
Not pick and dip method, pick and butter method. 😲
Why would you have a double brick wall and not tie it together?
Terrible habit scraping down the face of the brickwork... tut tut tut.
Front scuffing the bricks too with partial perps. Bad for a retaining wall.
Good work by the way, it is not an easy job.
Nice one chuck👍
aye aye any chance of seeing bricks at back....knob
Every perp is a weep hole 😂
Tip jointing mate
Steady Eddie lol
It's scary how good this guy is. Speed and precision. 💪🏾
Day rate? You should be on day rate ,pay back the customer daily. Anyway it's hard game good luck.
Easy?.... yeah, but tiring af!!
World News haha yes it is tiring. Specially at my age. Its boringly tiresome as much as physically tiring !
voids at the top of all your cross joints. There is hope if I had you a day, you do have a hand

Not when there's nothing against the wall they won't. It was built to retain next doors labrador not soil but thanks for your concern..

But not cheap!
Bodger and badger
Mash potatoes
Fast laying, wall looks good just gaps in perps and poor technique.
Inferior brick layer .couple yrs the cross joints will have failed fill ure joints pal
alot of people here hate you for laying a few rough bricks. now I know how Donald Trump feels lol.
what trowl is that
