Bricklaying tips- How to mix mortar

[@Chazza..]

Never put a shovel in the mixer. If your hand goes through the hand holder and the shovel gets caught. Your arm will be twisted off

[@IdealConstructionRyanWalden]

I’ve made mixes for years that’s if your retarded

[@thenorthernblankers]

Great video m8. Would you still follow that ratio if you were mixing on a smaller quantity

[@ryanwalden123]

[@superyid2010]

With the concentrated Feb I use 10ml to get a lovely creamy mix.

[@RichardDowd]

Not 'Feb' haha, just going through all your videos from your first- good stuuf there Ryan!

[@IdealConstructionRyanWalden]

Yes you used feb

[@mrc5653]

Where's the mixer stand?

[@ryanwalden123]

The stand doesn’t mix mortar

[@IdealConstructionRyanWalden]

Does that make the mix

[@mrc5653]

@IdealConstructionRyanWalden no but add a good handful of shingle to give it a nice bit of texture brickies love it all the best mate👍

[@IdealConstructionRyanWalden]

@@mrc5653 you ain’t got a clue

[@danielcharrington5604]

​@@ryanwalden123totally agree with using a stand ,it's helpful to put the mortar into a Barrow

I find this video entertaining but would never follow building tips from a British craftsmen. Where I am from, you NEVER! hear term "brick repointing" I use to live along many brick buildings, some hundreds years old, yet I have never saw any one doing this strange thing called " repointing" When you understand cement and ratios to building sand you never have to attend that wall ever again.
I watch videos like this one because to me they are very therapeutic, funny at times.
