Your collection of trowels is amazing thanks for sharing them. Well done all the competitors and congratulations Charlie some going that. Cheers Andy for another top upload 👌🏻
Well done Charlie well done Andy good bit filming nice to see u again love your vids well done to all the brickies that took part Nice to see the youngsters coming through with a passion for brickwork its a hard job but i still love after nearly 50 years in👏👏
Great vid Andy!! Was really nice meeting you and seeing your wicked collection. As someone learning the trade them book you gave me are really helpful and I brought that old whs trowel back to life and gave it a go today. Thanks a lot for everything at the event and was a pleasure meeting you.
Thank you for coming Andy was great to meet you, thank your for displaying your trowel collection and sharing your knowledge. From the bricklayers social club thank you
No problems Ashley it was a pleasure, dont know what is happening next year, regionals have been suggested, if so put me in ime up for it.Also if i can be of any help let me know this needs to carry on for the trade 👍
Regional heats are definitely going to happen as we have a lot of interest so will need to whittle the numbers down for a final. This will happen year after year with out doubt.

@@bricklayersworldwithandy6277 hate is a very strong word Andy that should be used sparingly in my opinion ,lest the true meaning of the word be lost . There’s also the other side of the coin ,some on social media will consider you a hater, or attempt to shut you down for giving them the mildest criticism or advice . Pinning people’s comments can often be used by certain TH-camrs like the stocks of olden days to set individuals up for ridicule ,sometimes it can be deserved and sometimes not . But I agree Charlie is a grand lad and at nearly 59 years of age I’ve picked up a fair few bits and pieces off him and other lads on TH-cam like yourself . Not just on bricklaying but on a range of things .
Fkin brilliant, ive been trying to remember you were at this minute believe it or not, you know what its like everyone knows my face but i dont know yours.There are some plans to set a college up, its in the baby stage at the moment and primarily it will be just to teach the basics properly to build modern houses accurately and then maybe at the top end a small class for the high end stuff, are you on Facebook?
Some great profiles to make life so much easier .But I'm a 54 year old bricky in the trade all my life and a good 2 and 1 with the labourer knowing his job will earn a really good living end of .

Thanks Andy .My wife now tells me it was reactive arthritis where as i thought it was psoriatic arthritis. Ill have to find out .i do take meds etc but yes ill look for it cheers mate 👍

Hello Andy, I spoke to Tim from Footprint Tools yesterday at the D&M Tool Show. He said the Super Trowel is a great day out so I may go next year. He has just released a 14" scutch chisel which I have been testing for a year for him. It is a dam good tool for cutting out old brickwork etc. Have a look, I may even be able to get you one sent out to test if you like the look of it.
Looked a good event even if your not participating,I would go for the tools alone,where else would you get all the brick tools in one place,nice job Andy can you confirm the 3 winners thanks👍
You should do a video some time on your trowel collection Andy That marshalltown trowel with the metal bumper was very interesting I never knew they made them like that . I have a 12 inch new old stock Estwing narrow London trowel .I also have a used one ( im fairly certain it’s a narrow London ) but it’s stamped p to designate it as a Philadelphia trowel .there’s no sign that it’s ever been altered so I’m pretty sure it was mistakenly stamped with the p. They look like they might be manufactured in England probably by Neil tools in Sheffield. The trowel collector has a site on tool catalogues and they appear in one of the Estwing catalogues
The Marshaltown lads knew nothing about it either, but they took a pic and we're going to investigate further. I had a fella from Footprint look at the Estwing, he was very knowledgeable about the Sheffield foundries and he said WHS. He explained the difference on how the shape where the tang meets the blade between American and UK trowels differ, which you probably know.
I’d be fairly certain the estwing is a whs . Yes that’s the best way to tell who’s manufacturing the trowels . Neill tools were the last uk company to manufacture the whs on English soil as far as I know Andy . Any word on those new Kokoro trowels where they are made Andy .
@@brickbybric No mate, I've probably done the same Internet searches as you, they promote it as being Japanese but I have my doubts. What is the name of that Bellota vid about the foundry I can't find it.
