  • leaving all that gobbo on top of the bricks aint goner help!

  • Comment removed

  • Also noting, as you have used the teachers method of hitting the brick, your third course down the header is off a mile.

  • *How to really use a spirit level*

    Lay beds evenly, lay bricks close enough (within 5 mil) put level on wall, hit level (decent make!!!) with trowel.

    Foolproof.

  • @gordthelord12 If you hit the level it will not remain accurate for very long. this is not good practice and trades people, i hope, tend not to do it.

  • @StevesBricks go on a real site and say that =)

  • i bin bricky for 8 years now. 1st 3 did not hit my level, was only normal £30 level. then i met some1 who was laying over 1000 bricks a day who had a good level around £120... he could knock the shit out of. makes setting up corners and lines alot fasted. but i do agree its a bad habit, but one i wont be breaking soon. PS had my good level 5 years now still as accurate as 1st got (u get what u pay for) good vid

  • I was waiting for him to say, "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off".

  • get a lump hammer and hit the level

  • @cpotte123 true lol

  • decent video. I passed my City and Guilds other week and the 'detached hollow pier' or chimney as we all know it still gives me nightmares.

  • steves level is a slender lightweight stabilla heavier stabillas are able to take a bit of a bashing but it all depends on how accurate you lay them knoking the level to get a couple of mill is alright but more ??

  • Steve, let me ask you something...I've used a Crick level for the last two years....it's a good 5-piece wood level. I've hit it for two years and it's still very accurate. They are expensive tho, $130 USD...but a cheaper level that looks similar to yours is like $35 USD....so I'm thinking of going with it next time....I just can't get out of that habit!! lol

  • that's not a question squid lips!

  • m8 im at college jst finishin my year of construction foundation i don't no weather to go for i.c.a course or go and get an apprentiship but im not the best bricklayer if im honest but its all practice w/b please fnx for the video's

  • Well presented, good to see someone encourage people to hit bricks and not belt the daylights out of the level as a lot of bricklayers tend to do.
