    I've watched a few bricklaying vids and got to say you have some great skills. You've obviously had an excellent teacher. No messing about laying bricks with some considerable skill 👩‍🏫👍👍

    Here’s a tip from an old bricky, when cutting your halves with your trowel hold the brick underneath with your hand and pull it towards the trowel as you strike it, or one day you might lose your thumb and just one more tip less tapping more money keep it going Linerforce.

    Great Video 😊. I'm currently learning Bricklaying in College. I'm also learning Carpentry/Joinery, Plastering & Painting and Decorating. Learning the trades is actually really fun and I agree Women should definitely get into learning the trades more. 😊

      I was on the tools in the 80’s and never saw raised spot boards. I’ve just started back in my late 50’s after retirement. I made some board stands, they are a revelation as are nylon spot boards. Not sure my old back could cope without them.

    If I could give you a tip it would be to lay the full brick first before putting half brick in the corner.
    Either way works though :)

    Because of all these google ads about female Brickie I came to look for a female Brickie to ask there opinion. Regarding the pay gap, etc. what are your views on the correlation between male and female sportspeople to male and female work people? Do you think the obvious performance differences mean diffrent pay or do you deny there are differences? Just wondering about proper female Brickies perspective

    It always makes me wonder watching these videos from the UK how you guys build your walls with no air cap between the brick and insulation. No wind resisting layer on the outside of the insulation nor water vapor barrier on the inside between blockwork and insulation. How the Hell aren't your inside air full of contaminants?! Great job on the brick laying though.
