The Idea behind this was purely to get two cuts out of one block (440 long) to give a pretty accurate and acceptable half bond. I went for 330 and 110 for arguments sake. Easy !!! For some reason, I have had a couple of comments which complicate it and suggest that I have no idea and don't know what I'm talking about (now deleted😉). The most recent was that the three quarter should be 11 5/8" 🤣🤣🤣🤡. Let's keep things simple shall we 👌.
Morning Andy saves alot of cutting which is a nightmare hate it 😢ive used the 3 quarter on many job's but fair play to you for showing people the option 👏 it will help loads to a young apprentice 🙏👌👌👍
I'm retired now,but never new why most lads on sites just kept cutting loads of 100 mm cuts.Over the years never came across anybody who could show me in construction books with proof or explain the differences in strengths if we 1/4 bonded then changed to half bond instead of half bonds all the time..

🤣🤣🤣 No, not a miracle but this was for Level 1 students who wouldn't know. Plus, how many blokes actually do it that way on sire ??? It's easier, simple as that.
@ you are right, the default is the 4” spacer and I think I do that more often than not but the blocks come in broke a fair bit of the time so I just utilise the breakages

I always do my cuts like this ,you get 2 for 1 ,it's quicker and there's no wastage

Just made sense to me and you still got the perfect half bond. Definitely quicker and easier to.
There was me expecting a miracle 😅

Hi Andy even after over 52 years in the trade, I'm 68 now I always like to see alternative options, all the best.
@Steviemacdonald6594 Thanks 👍
I showed Lewis this last week coincidentally 😊
Don't see many doing it that way though Mark.

Fair comment 👍
I’ve never done it any other than the 3/4 way and use the cut. I hate to see people sticking commons in each coarse. I’m 37. So young people do know.
@timcartwright4538 Good, glad about that. Just makes sense 👍
