good to see someone showing the finer points like where to gauge from on a brick veneer here in Australia, Brickies on big union jobs are clueless with this stuff. liked the water level method too.
Goldfinger Rules Thankyou! I remember when I was starting out my apprenticeship I wanted these videos to help me out when the boss was under too much pressure to show us slowly. Hopefully it can help someone starting up out! Cheers for the comment appreciate the kind words
Beautiful weather atm over here, Autumn is a great time of year when you get the nice blue skies without the unbearable heat, perfect to get some good numbers in !!
@@hendosbricklaying2003 I’m feeling your pain I’m a bricklayer too and today the weather looks like rain ☔️, I think on balance I’d swap Keep up the great video’s, interesting to see the comparisons and differences
What type of sand do you use in VIC? Looks pretty dark in colour. Do you use any additives to your mud mix e.g bio col or lime to fatten it up? Thanks for the video. Happy troweling.
Nice one Hendo keep em' coming. Interesting use of the water level though, haven't seen one of those used for many a year. Could I ask, when you set the gauge for your first profile off the window, have you figured out if it is the highest point on the slab? I only ask as this would save on cutting if that was the case, no?
Thankyou mate appreciate the words. Yes I do usually measure the corner points of the rebate to see what is hightest point to the bottom Plate. I forgot to mention that... you picked up on it well. Nothing worse then getting to a high point that requires a heap of split cuts.
@@hendosbricklaying2003 Cheers mate. I spent a year in Oz (I'm from England) from '99 to '00 and your vids make me wonder if I should have made a go of it out there. But I haven't been on the tools for years now, and as an ex-landscaper who is knocking on fifty, I forget what hard work it is and is in all reality a young mans game. Be well.
Just watching your old videos mate have you seen the extendable profiles from the brick business? I have them you should invest in some as you like to set your profile up this way.
Have you ever worked on a listed building? I’m from the uk and I’m working on a grade 2 listed building doing brickwork. I’m coming to the end of my level 2 qualification in brickwork aswell.
Casey P hey Casey good question I usually let the water run through the water level for a good 20-30 seconds steady flow to make sure no air bubbles get in there 👍
@@hendosbricklaying2003 great lad so much work here lot of guys starting their own business,would recommend vancouver for the weather,wet winters but amazing summers
Perhaps do a vid on how you started apprenticeships going on to start a business what would you recommend I have my nvq level two what would you recommend thanks
Is the gauge rod hard up against the fascia so bricks can finish flush, and is the timber under the fascia purely for the purposes of clamping? Also mate, what do you mean by the 10mm gap works in well with the slab?
We have a minimum cavity regulation of 25mm so depending on whether the frame is out of plumb which should rarely happen once inspected we just try to keep our brickwork as close to 150mm off frame (40mm cavity) as best we can. Obviously our wall plumb takes priority
GiftedUplifted very accurate the water level been using it since I started laying bricks... only thing is it’s a two man job struggle to do it on your own 😂😂

Why would you need a water level when you can just measure down from the top-plate?
Cracking video guys! Loved the mix of new and old with the profile clamps and water level. Keep them coming!
Watching from Ireland good job mate

You guys are good. Thanks for the info.
You are a top bricklayer just wondering if you use brick ties on your bricks i didn't see any in your videos.
Yes mate I’ve had the question a few times I just never film us putting them on every 5 courses we tie in our brickwork to ever stud on the frame
Hello guys I like that way of setting up things , it saves you loads of time , lay out the bond and trowels up lay some bricks 😎
Jay Puyenbroeck a bit of time at the start saves a lot later on I agreee Jay cheers brother
Jay Puyenbroeck he could do with your electronic water level jay .

Hi . What is the maximum and minimum cavity we can put? Thanks a lot for the nice video you are putting there. Cheers
Love your videos from Ireland.
Thanks Philip. Glad your enjoying them mate !
hey mate, awesome videos. would love you guys to do a first and second course bond setting out tutorial, just to see how others are working it out :)
Just watching your old videos mate have you seen the extendable profiles from the brick business? I have them you should invest in some as you like to set your profile up this way.
Nice teching bro
Nice vid
Nice job mate.. can you also make a video about how to read the plan as well
Real king Shango sure mate. Good idea might be one for this week!
Have you ever worked on a listed building? I’m from the uk and I’m working on a grade 2 listed building doing brickwork. I’m coming to the end of my level 2 qualification in brickwork aswell.
Never in my Life Joel! Ive only ever down slabs and town houses.
Thats awesome all the best with it mate appreciate the comment.
All the buildings in oz are listed in one direction or another😄😄😄
they are nifty brick grabs
Hey mate how much water do you put in the hose for the water level?
Casey P hey Casey good question I usually let the water run through the water level for a good 20-30 seconds steady flow to make sure no air bubbles get in there 👍
Hi mate can l ask u how much a good bricklayer earn in the Australian??in the average
Irish working in canada nice little channel,no radio tho
All the best Craig. Would love to go to Canada some time! Hows work there?
@@hendosbricklaying2003 great lad so much work here lot of guys starting their own business,would recommend vancouver for the weather,wet winters but amazing summers
Much more like Texas .. than UK. We do mostly brick veneers too , with brick ties holding to framing 16" oc .. don't know the conversion
Conversion is 400 millimeters
Perhaps do a vid on how you started apprenticeships going on to start a business what would you recommend I have my nvq level two what would you recommend thanks
Nvq stands for no value qualifications only time will make you any good that and listening to the old boys
Killin it
Shannan Olds cheers bro!!!!!

Also mate, what do you mean by the 10mm gap works in well with the slab?
Surely the L shape cramps you nail to the stud wall , will be in your cavity?
So once we are up to the L bracket height we put in some perp clamps into the brickwork that then takes its place to hold the profile 👍
What happens when the timber isn't plumb, measure 150 or keep wall plumb???
We have a minimum cavity regulation of 25mm so depending on whether the frame is out of plumb which should rarely happen once inspected we just try to keep our brickwork as close to 150mm off frame (40mm cavity) as best we can. Obviously our wall plumb takes priority

An ancient method

YOU'RE KILLING IT KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Someone tell the long haired dude that lazy only carrying one brick clamp at a time that its easier to carry two and better for your body
Albertdog101 hahahaha I love this comment
Why does the young guy carry one six pack and you carry two
Don’t show your phone in your lap while driving. You might get a fine in the post.
LAZY DOG a fine for having your phone in your lap. That’s the first
Hans Gilgen No not at all. Many people have scored themselves a significant fine and loss of points for having a phone in their lap.
LAZY DOG noted!
