Best advice ever as regards the trowel size,I was in the trade over 20 years from 1977-1999 , mostly subbing with my brother who's older than me, I was the typical show off with the biggest trowel ,we also did rendering and pinking and I'd use a oversize hawk, now I've got tennis elbow in my right arm golfers elbow in my left and 2 knackered discs in my back ,and my brother who always used a small trowel is still in the trade and laying bricks, great vid mate, good luck
HERE IN THE US, I have BEEN USING A 8'' TOROWL FOR YEARS DONT NEED A SHOVEL TO LAY BRICK LOVE THE VIDOS KEEP THEM COMING BRICKLAYER FROM ACROSS THE POND.
Charlie I’ve used your method today (helping a mate on an extension) for the first time after doing traditional for 25 plus years and I can’t believe how easier it is once I got used to it !! Thankyou !!
Charlie Collison just a quick one how do you stop too much mortar falling down the cavity or is this just something you get used too the more you do this way
Michael Hall you lay it slightly different then the traditional way. You press the back down and roll the brick to the front which pushes most of the mortar out the front. Keep at it it takes a while to get it perfect your basically spreading the muck with the brick rather then the trowel so getting the amount of muck depending on what brick your laying is key.
great charlie thats even better ive always told other brickies organisation is what will let you lay more brick you got it down to a tee well done ...yes i got a similar set up but i saw another video of yours about your profiles and im going to use your set up with the clamp at the top also good job pal keep it up
Like you said it's all got to do with what your building as to how much you should be laying, 1800 laid, home eating dinner by 3pm not to shabby at all, it's your technique that suits a small trowel but I am still trying to pick it up as keep reverting when I am in the zone to long bed laying, good stuff Charlie right up there with your skillset👍
Hi charlie. Love the videos mate. Keep them coming really helpful to the beginners. I've always used a smaller trowel for my brick work. Work smarter than harder.
Alright mate I'm a bricklayer 22 years 1200 best iv done 1on1 . Take pride in y work build everything as it's y own and point everything u will always be in work 👍👍👍👍head down arse up
I started as a 15 year old Hod Carrier, six months was enough for me, putting out spots for muck along with the constant moving of spots, feeding the mixer, up and down ladders, the occasional hoist, pull the rope and the barrow went, then run up the the ladder to wheel the muck to the old boys from the hoist, so many memories, hard English blokes and even harder laboring Irishmen. In the 60's we also did our own scaffolding. I was in a gang of 6 and always on price besides some fellas being on the lump. Old days... a great way to get a quid but bloody hard work. So glad to see your video as to how things have changed from my time some 53 years ago
It's crazy how easy you make it look, I just hope I'm that good one day, I can barely lay 500 in a day, no labourer though and I think I need to invest in them mortar stands, shit hot set up.
I used to go to college with a lad who told me his uncle layed 1300 a day 😂 like you said it's bollocks , nobody lays that's on a consistent basis maybe the odd few days over a month but not every day .
When I started in 1973 1,000 a day was common. We had more 9"" brickwork. the beast I did was 1,370 fair face on a small lift shaft.No profiles or lines, just level, and straight edge. total no more than 7 Hours
My heart, soul and mind miss laying brick....my body does not miss it one bit! Did an Aldi store in Kansas City, years ago....77,000 brick, just me and the boss (only had 1 laborer for about 2 weeks). Did it in 6 weeks! (had a couple rain days in there too!)
Well done Charlie 👍 need at least a couple of lads loading out and bringing you muck etc to keep that up , but its changing the way I do my work now , keep it up pal , and ignore the bad comments , 💯👍
Вполне реально, дружище. Веришь или нет, но в Советском Союзе были каменщики, которые за одну рабочую смену (восемь часов), клали по две тысячи кирпичей. Одного такого каменщика даже показали в телевизионных новостях. На укладку одного кирпича у него уходило две секунды. Славное доброе советское время, славные люди!!!!
The problem with most bricklayers is size they all want to be bigger than you ,ego ego ... I use the smallest trowel i can find it's about being clever .. brains and brawn 🤣
@@manwithsomeplans im 51qualified in 91 an still dabble with bricklayin when needs...but retrained as locksmith always good to see how site boys use diff methods to work smarter an easier
A cocky young bricklayer my old man got on a job claimed he could lay 500 bricks a day labouring on himself. When the weed smoke had cleared it turned out he'd managed about 250.
In my opinion if you tip up to work and just get stuck in or arse up head down so to speak then the quants soon mount up , I have said for years that you can have 10 trowels on a job and everyone does things different but the end result is the same !! I prefer not to profile corners and then go back to them , I profile all corners and start the back elevation first , racking out the gables 11 or 12 bricks , yes you’re forever lifting corner blocks but back goes up in 1 same with front thus leaving 2 gables of mass that have corners built !! Each to there own . Ps I also have a small trowel as it stops it getting nicked from the cabin when moneys in !!
Nice vid mate Was looking forward to seeing this one I normally lay about 3000 by 12.30 with out profiles am knocking up my own muck by hand without a mixer haha Seriously tho you got good way to work mate 👍🏻
Enjoy your take on laying brick. Been laying for over thirty years here in California with 11" Rose alot of C.M.U. block also. All the young boys now show up with 13" narrow London's. I going to show them your video tomorrow!!!!
Bloody hell Charlie. I managed 120 bricks the other! 😀😀 But I’m not a brickie, And I had to mix, layout and joint up myself. 😀 Great videos. I’ve learnt a lot.
Fair play mate I have gone down to a smaller trowel as did all the get a big trowel lay more etc but it’s so true what your say it does ruin your arm top man great vid
Hi Charlie...Thanks ever so much for taking the time to explain everything so well...Great Workmanship there...Could you use that trowel for blockwork too ?
Pat Roach I am using that trowel for everything at the minute seeing how it lasts. But yea I get through plenty of block work with it. It’s just nice to feel like your not picking anything up all day
I know of too many bricklayers who brag about their volume of laid bricks. Not because it isn`t true, but if they keep on like that they are done way before they reach 50 years of age and nobody will ever give them a medal for a broken back. Just a good laugh...
Great video, but a shame you never showed how you lay the bricks in real time. Interested how you can keep the vertical level without stopping to check as I would do after each brick I lay. I,m mechanical by trade but just finished building my raised fishpond which took nearly six month to finish, its 10’ x 6’ and six course high, please don’t laugh. Love your dog by the way.
Here's what I think. You are a machine brother, and good on you for experimenting with the 7" trowl , that's how all trades evolve by trying knew tools and methods. I'm taking your advise and going to try a 7" trowl. Thanks for the video, music was Bomb also !!
Good work bro! Just did the same with dropping the big trowel and going with the smaller trowel. Lay just as many bricks. I’m on a 10 inch marshalltown but looking to go smaller as it seems to all go the same pace no matter what. Looks great and way to put the 💰💰💰in the wall!
@@Wodjimicallit im giving you a thumbs up!.. for seeing that I refuse to learn to spell tatto. Actually Charlie is the real deal, but I can see through those stupid tatoos and recognize a real man!

8 1/4 make your own! Dont know why a brick laying video popped up but fair play lad a decent graft 👍 How do you get payed for the day or hour? Bet the winter is grim as fuck!
I laboured for first two years and have now built for 20 years brick block but mainly stone. Labouring for two brickys was harder work imo. Keeping mortor(muck) right is the most difficult thing when building bricks or blocks. Winter sand is wet so little water more mortisezer. Summer its drier sand so more water less mortisezer. Too wet, blocks sink. Too stiff morter doesnt spread and wrist over 8 hours on a footing can get sore. A good bricky is only as good as his labourer.
Fuck me you laid more bricks in 6 hours than I can in 2 days. Impressive that fella. Mind you I’m a builder who can lay bricks an not solely a bricklayer. Going to have a go at this pick n dip method as it obviously works. Nice video pal 🧱👍
My name is Brian Grammer I'm from Lumberton North Carolina we lay brick everyday and block but we brick houses and you hit the nail on Hitman I'm 37 years old I'm having a lot of trouble with my back and shoulders already
Laying a brick every 28 seconds would get you 1000 bricks laid over 8 hours. (obviously in ideal conditions but the max in principal) I've watched you drop them in at less than 5 second intervals so at that rate you could lay 1,000 in 1 hour 23 minutes. If you had got the contract to build trumpfs wall you'd be a billionaire in not very long at all.
I worked on a job site in Napa Ca. Where the brickies brought in a older man from Oregon. Who was supposedly a legend in the masonry community. That could lay 3000 bricks a day!
forgive my ignorance, I am not a brickie! Is there an advantage to building the corners, I would have thought you would put the profiles up as soon as possible and build up for the full length of the wall?
All depends on your setup really, if you have a good labourer loading out for the next day and not doing it in the morning and the runs you got. If your man to man on a box you should easy do a thou a day for four days of the week or the equivalent in block-work with one day left for sils ,lintels,scaffold lift and general bullshit we gotta put up with. I use my smaller trowel for cornering up and my 12’ to run it in.
Yeah, bad weather, too hot, too cold. Exactly different designs. Do you put washing up liq in your mix, muck ? Brickies are one of the hardest working trades on site. How many blocks do you lay a day. I miss working in construction ! Insulation ? Or are they thermal blocks ? O yeah I see the insulation. Brick ties. 👍 nice and tidy on your scaffolding ? And you have kept your hard hat on all day. 🤣 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤣🤣👍🤣💚🇬🇧
Martin I find them a lot more comfortable than the Marshall town trowels and totally agree with Charlie on the size of the trowel..also they last longer
Fuckin legend Charlie lad, always good work and well and truly earned your wage today pal, bet your labourer did to tho whilst crying with no skin left on his hands or his shoulder pal, hard core to the bone in this trade son!! Awesome video Charlie lad can't wait for the next init 🇬🇧 👍🏻
Great video Charlie, Glen and Mick will probable be over the moon with that performance only thing missing is the bottle of beer lol bless him, keep up the good work small trowel rules for me
Plasterer ,roofer,roughcaster to trade but if I need to il do a bit of block or brickwork all things to do with the construction industry's interest me got a sub here m8 nice upoad👍 you get the same patter from plasterers about how much you can get on the wall I go for quality not quantity and like you say we are doing this for a long time
Hey Charlie, I find you can get a decent run with a Marshalltown 19 / 12 up to hip high and then switch to a worn down same without suffering from any fatigue. That way the bigger trowel wears down to a point where it becomes the smaller one and keep replacing so on and so on. I'm surprised you're not using a profile called Blakes Profiles. I used them with great success when I was in the UK. Not sure whether you have heard about them but it might be worth a check. The above trowel info works for me ....37 yr vet . Great video and keep banging in the rocks :)
Totally agree about the trowel dude as a victim of the dreaded Tennis Elbow ...One thing for sure if you do get it you will be laying zero per day so good to see you are using your brain .
I think you must be confused John ! Are you sure you wasn’t picking potatoes with the hardest Irish gang ...you know 200 spuds per hour ....Give up ! every one who has ever worked in the game have spread the furthest, carried 80 brick in a hod, Laid over 1000 bricks a day , balanced 2 no 9” blocks on their head whilst singing swing low sweet chariot 😳Bla bla bla ....Boring.
John Bowkett The skill of bricklaying (A race)? You must be a millionaire by now John ,just think of all those bricks and blocks you have put down at record speeds and most before premix and telescopic loaders ! Did you work 3 x1 ....Three hods and speedy John. You must be a legend . The builders Ronnie Pickering .

What a good little robot actor you are. X
greg tutt don’t get it 😅
Plasterer ,roofer,roughcaster to trade but if I need to il do a bit of block or brickwork all things to do with the construction industry's interest me got a sub here m8 nice upoad👍 you get the same patter from plasterers about how much you can get on the wall I go for quality not quantity and like you say we are doing this for a long time
Hey Charlie, I find you can get a decent run with a Marshalltown 19 / 12 up to hip high and then switch to a worn down same without suffering from any fatigue. That way the bigger trowel wears down to a point where it becomes the smaller one and keep replacing so on and so on. I'm surprised you're not using a profile called Blakes Profiles. I used them with great success when I was in the UK. Not sure whether you have heard about them but it might be worth a check. The above trowel info works for me ....37 yr vet . Great video and keep banging in the rocks :)
Totally agree about the trowel dude as a victim of the dreaded Tennis Elbow ...One thing for sure if you do get it you will be laying zero per day so good to see you are using your brain .
Says “ The Late John Bowkett” 😂😂😂👍
Looking forward to your forthcoming videos John ........You are the real deal 😂😂😂😂😂🧱
I think you must be confused John ! Are you sure you wasn’t picking potatoes with the hardest Irish gang ...you know 200 spuds per hour ....Give up ! every one who has ever worked in the game have spread the furthest, carried 80 brick in a hod, Laid over 1000 bricks a day , balanced 2 no 9” blocks on their head whilst singing swing low sweet chariot 😳Bla bla bla ....Boring.
John Bowkett The skill of bricklaying (A race)? You must be a millionaire by now John ,just think of all those bricks and blocks you have put down at record speeds and most before premix and telescopic loaders ! Did you work 3 x1 ....Three hods and speedy John. You must be a legend . The builders Ronnie Pickering .
John Bowkett Calks?
