Can’t believe some desktop warriors on here. Give the guy a break ffs. You can always learn something new. Great character lovely personality in a world full of rudeness. Good on ya glen.
All good advice. I will use the tub and hop ups on my next bricklaying job. I liked the folly, that kind of work is right up my street. All the best to you both.
Fair play boys, my old man has always said brickies don't retire they just fade away..... don't fade away to soon all that knowledge is fantastic! Keep up the good work great craic god bless
Vera Duckworth on speed. Seriously though I thought I was in Stella street kept thinking Jack Nicholson or Al Pacino were going to pop in. This is better than Stella street, you get to have a laugh and learn proper bricklaying at the same time. Keep em coming guys.
Nice work guys your the second bricklayer in a very short time that has used a smaller trowel and can still lay a good few bricks and save your backs 👍👍👍
I'm in Cleveland, Ohio and you have a subscriber for as long as I have TH-cam. Thank You for lifting my spirits. A true original content creator. Best of success for you and yours going forward. Beer companies should be paying you to promote their products.
Thank you very much William. Our last video Bricklaying Made Easy 7 is more of a comedy, but people seem to like it. We really appreciate your comments buddy
I’ve just started my apprenticeship at a local builders, and the boss told me to watch all of your videos because “you’re a true old school bricky with lots of great tips” Found them really interesting (and funny) also easier to understand compared to college. Look forwards to seeing more soon. Cheers Olly
Thanks so much Olly. I know it's different, but if you do learn to lay bricks like in my first video, it really is easier. Just remember to keep the mortar and bricks close together with the mortar on the right if you are right handed. Enjoy your apprenticeship buddy, glenn
U reverse what u would do normally. Instead of pulling and wrapping the line around the corner block, u pull it that it comes out the other way. The block will stay on the profile, as if it is "magnetic". Hard to explain, easier shown in practise.
He reminds me of Tommy Cooper. But fair play those guys have the years of experience to back up what they're saying. And a shout out to Rob Songer too!
Hi glen I haven't played bricks in 16 years since college I'm 32 now When I do brickwork do I gauge every course at each end or transfer your level on every course Sorry for stupid question haven't layed in long time
Like your videos , always use the the Batten squares on my profiles , Little tip for you tho use masking tape on the profile to mark your gauge off, otherwise I’ve had brickies with me going to different gauges Keep them vids coming Cheers 🍻
thanks for the information glenn you are a good bricky better than crompton personnaly in some aspects you are better than songer haveing worked abroad you learnt some thing from the germans anyone with the old city and guilds craft and advanced craft knows what they are talking about cheers
what do you think about spreading mortor for 6 to 7 bricks thats what i was told at college a long time a go by a brillent brickwork tutor called paul caunce by the way thats a broad london m34 marshaltown trowel much better than the philly pattern cheers
also have you heard now they want a full block under the lintel so meaning we have to put a course blockets round under the full block then on 2 course on top of the lintels to get it back to gauge lol
Brick laying the way the germans do ? One spread to a brick , bug agree not bending down for bricks on a bench is a good idea , and you got a matching suit and hair to go lol 🤪

Cracking video Glenn! Keep them coming! Could you show more detail with the line wrapping around the dolly then returning it on to next profile.
Will do Stuart
U reverse what u would do normally. Instead of pulling and wrapping the line around the corner block, u pull it that it comes out the other way. The block will stay on the profile, as if it is "magnetic". Hard to explain, easier shown in practise.
Great series of videos! Can I ask when these videos were made please?
Very entertaining Glenn, nice to see you
Thanks Trevor
Love these videos. Cheers. Can anyone point me to the video for tips laying blocks? You mentioned it in the '40 bricks in ten minutes' video.

Brilliant.
I didn’t know that ric flairs brother was a mason!! 😂
Lol
Been using l-shapes for years so quick so simple , bricklaying is as hard as you make , good video Glenn is this your only set of clothes 😉
Sadly yes Liam. Wear the suit out weekends!

Not sure Liam. Will try and find out mate
You are still a star been a while since you posted keep them.coming happy retirement buddy
Thanks Ivan. Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks Ivan
I love it thanks boys for the great tips I will be youesing them 🤓
Thanks Mark
Amazing Glen
Thanks Lewis. Same as my film making really. Just pretend I know what I'm doing. I'll get caught out one day !
Something you dont see now days on sites is the old characters...they're all robots now covered in hi-vis,helmets,gloves.
Your right they do use the buckets and not boards and only use the level to set up.
Better camera next time please. Great content. Keep them coming. “Let’s go Bricklaying”🧱👍
I'll tell Mick!
what a legand fair play lads
To lay bricks like the germans, get a smaller trowel. Because the english trowels are designed to work from a board, not a bucket.
You're dead right Wolf
Hi glen
I haven't played bricks in 16 years since college I'm 32 now
When I do brickwork do I gauge every course at each end or transfer your level on every course
Sorry for stupid question haven't layed in long time
I have a separate gauge stick for each corner and number them individually. Thanks for watching
@@glennveness
Thanks for your help glen
Thanks buddy
Like your videos , always use the the Batten squares on my profiles ,
Little tip for you tho use masking tape on the profile to mark your gauge off, otherwise I’ve had brickies with me going to different gauges
Keep them vids coming
Cheers 🍻
Good tip buddy. Keep meaning to clean them
That folly(whatever the fuck that is) looks amazing chaps.
Your right about no tapping
Legend
thanks for the information glenn you are a good bricky better than crompton personnaly in some aspects you are better than songer haveing worked abroad you learnt some thing from the germans anyone with the old city and guilds craft and advanced craft knows what they are talking about cheers
Thanks Zaid
69 years of age?
You look absolutely amazing!
Thanks Victor
You boys are couple geezers enjoyed your vlog keep them coming
Glenn I'm steve mate.can we build a wall together one day. I'm based in surrey if you need a hand. I've got a couple of videos on youtube bricklaying
Will check them out Stephen
They are (Heathers trade) lol, great video
Thanks lads. Making a new film but Micks camera work is lousy
what do you think about spreading mortor for 6 to 7 bricks thats what i was told at college a long time a go by a brillent brickwork tutor called paul caunce by the way thats a broad london m34 marshaltown trowel much better than the philly pattern cheers
Always pick up brick and mortar together Said
Surely it would be quicker to just spread for 5 or so bricks than doing it one at a time
Not really Aaron. It's far more efficient to pick up a brick each time you bend down. Believe you me it is quicker when you master it
What's the most you have layed in a day
Love that question Stacie. Let me think about it poppet
Good video but now they like a tie up every block course on a corner same a you treat a reveal
Thanks Kieren
In this game your always learning because there always changing the poxy materials etc
also have you heard now they want a full block under the lintel so meaning we have to put a course blockets round under the full block then on 2 course on top of the lintels to get it back to gauge lol
Worlds gone mad!
Yes mate no drinking on site it sucks we have a challenge though to see how many pints you can neck in 30mins lol
Quality
If you boys fancy a pint one day give me a shout 👍👍😎
Will do buddy
Keep them self employed grants coming Boris.
What's the fellas name who's videoing think I might know his voice 🤣
Mick Davies from Hastings buddy
bricklaying live from the london palladium
Thanks mate
Great video. You can come away with more knowledge & tips by watching them. If someone has the bollox to moan, F*ck em!
Thanks buddy
Are you still doing videos
I've done 20 John. Busy gardening lately, but will do some more later, take care buddy, glenn
@@glennveness thank you will have a look
69 still laying brick every credit.
Thanks Callum
we call it an " L - bracket,,,or a top....had some made of 2" angle iron with nail holes, then clamp to it as you did
Brilliant
@@glennveness passed down from my father
Got have a good beer
Quality 😂
We use spot boards for muck but put them up on plastic dustbins, they are then at about waist height, no bending. Thank me later ;)
Thanks Ben. Use the lid to put over the mixer if you're in someone's garden
Brick laying the way the germans do ? One spread to a brick , bug agree not bending down for bricks on a bench is a good idea , and you got a matching suit and hair to go lol 🤪
Thanks John
Hello Boris johnson 😂😂😂😂😂😂 the bricklayer what about BREXIT ha ha ha ha ha ha
Hope you enjoyed the video John
is this suppose to be a comedy sketch ??
Yep!
Do ya think I’m sexy.
You're not bending because your not on the first course. Slow playing with the mortar bed.
These two lol can't work out weather it's a joke or not
Get your hair cut
Its a gallows bracket
