Here is another vid on soldiers.
The last one showed how to brace the face of the soldiers. This is the other method I use for doors and small window but have adapted for big lintels. It involved cutting a length of timber and wedging it in the opening directly under the lintel and in line with the front face. With big lintels propping it or clamping bricks either side ( like in the vid ) is necessary.
Bricks on big lintels will make it deflect causing the soldiers to fall forward. With the timber being set to the front it feels more like laying soldiers on a wall rather than overhanging a lintel. A finger trowel is good for pointing the joint under the bricks if your planning on leaving the timber in for a while . 👍👍
Thanks for watching ! 😀👍
Another great video !
Cheers George!! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍👍
Think your content is great mate. Good for us younger lads branching out
Thanks so much for the comment!!! I’m on a site with some interesting stuff so I should be getting some more vids up soon👍
Your in the right trade mate ! Only going to get better as well I think 👌🏼👌🏼💷😀👍
I used this today on engineering brick over a 2 meter opening. Took 10 seconds to set up. And even put a profile towards top of soilders👌
Brilliant! That’s great to hear. It’s an easy set up and defo makes soldiers easier. Profile at the top works great😀👍 especially if there is a gauge marked on 😊👌🏼👍
Nice tip from an old brickie ( your never to old to learn something new) thanks for the great content 👍
Thanks for the comment Martin! Totally agree! I saw someone cut a block in the corner of my eye on site the other day. Never seen it done like that before. Now I do it like that every time 😀👍👍
great video, its all about passing on knowledge 👍
Nice one Scott 😀👍
yeah, definitely mate 👍👍
That’s a great idea for propping the lintel mate I will have to use that one day
Its good mate 👍 for normal doors you can just cut a roof lat to the width of the door and wedge it in👍
Good idea mate Dave's all that messing with props
Lol sound . Yeah, just a bit of roofing battern cut to the size of the opening for doors is ok. Just Wedged in so it’s to the face 👌🏼👌🏼😀
Excellent
Thank you mate 👍👍
Good idea with the clamps, suppose you could use small offcuts of wood👍
Definitely!! The best bit is you can get a few courses on top if you want👍👍 Cheers for the comment 😀🧱
Xcellent thinking
I saw a gang of lads use roofing lats under the windows and doors on a block of flats near me about 20 years ago. I’ve used the method ever since and adapted it for the big lintels. 🧱😀
state of that level 😅
It’s so bad 🤦♂️
I work in the rain so everything gets a bit messy. 👍
Where’s the weep hole vents🤔
Every 450mm mate. They are called peep weeps. They are smaller than the cassette ones you might be looking for. I’m ocd so I can assure you they are there 😇👍👍
