How to lay a mortar bed.

[jackthomasrobinson]

people are going to collage to learn to be a bricklayer! OMG they will do a degree in subway sandwiches next.. my dads been a bricklayer for 33 years and has no qualifications what so ever its not about your collage course it about how you lay the bricks

you don´t just walk into a 700 quid a week job after a three year apprentiship.you have to gain experience and contacts before you´ll be getting that sort of money.

[stilln68la]

aren´t you the cat that got the cream.well done.

[paulturfrey]

My apologies, I appreciate your comment, mine doe's come over brash, shouldn't have said that.

Here's an oppertunity though for say someone who's missed the apprenticeship boat to learn a trade fast with little outlay, get some ads. in the local paper and away you go.

Lot of people are doing brick laying themselfs,not paying a bricklayer.

I just use me "Bricky" device.Search it out for the video it IS bloody great.

The hard part was getting the mortar right..

Some builders come over from a job over the road,Their bricklayer pointed out my mortar needed more sand.

Three hours l18r the same bricklayer came over and said "That f*k*g thing should NOT BE alound!,don't show the Poles or my Boss"

I like my wall BETTER than his.

The "Bricky's" costing jobs.

I wasn't aloud to use the the so called ''Brick's'' tool in College. I got payed off cos of the recession. I am now working in Morrisons as an assistant!

Did u like my video? The labourer made that sand iLolz!

[georgekane666]

that fucking tool is fucking only good for straight walls wat about arches and pillars it fuckin horse wank!

[brickclimber]

not only that but how can you possibly gauge, i wouldn't take it seriously though it couldn't possibly catch on to serious construction, only doe it your selfers and such would use that.

@KingOfTheNubies

The hardest part of bricklaying isnt geting your bed right, its getting your corners plumb and range, and maybe have you considerd that the "bricklayer" was probably a cowboy?? theres a reason why this tool isnt used to build houses and buildings why dont you people realise?

[adamcook01]

i heard people get 700£ a week from bricklaying das what i wanna earn when i finish my training

[coltz1993]

[DevilsJesteRRR]

Good thing it didnt look that hot that day. i live in western australia so as soon as you lay the mortar you gotta put a brick on straight away haha.

[devilpie]

orite george, that looks like some skills makin the cement go all triangly up n down.

[brickclimber]

mortar needs more sand it almost looks like thin set

[n68la]

you can`t adjust the mortar too suit you.with more experience you`ll adjust your trowel action to suit the mortars required for the job at hand.

[georgekane666]

Bricklaying is ok! I've been doing it for about 2 and a half years need to sit my skills test in Elgin! Hope ya find an employer mate! Where bouts in the Uk u from?

[n68la]

that`s a real fatty mortar.

[georgekane666]

I like it fat so i can my manoevre my trowel and it doesn't fall apart!

[georgekane17]
