I prefer to leave a weather-struck/flush joint as at the beginning but concave jointed it to match some existing brickwork. Think the two dislikers might have been looking for Freddy, lol.

  • As an aspiring apprentice; this is awesome. Your work is beautiful. I have a question; I've seen how the old mortar is cut out, what keeps the bricks from just simply falling out?

  • @M1K3YM0 Thanks for your kind comment it means a lot, the old mortar was raked back aprox. 1" leaving a further 31/2" holding things in place.

  • gotta say i normally look at bwk related vids and think..."oh dear!"and when i saw the gear coming straight out of a glove i thought "hear we go"...WRONG! very clever,as with the bent up hawk for the beds...good and quick,impressed for a change!and jealous i never thought of it ha ha!good stuff!

  • @bigdannyg23 Thanks for that Big Danny and if it's any consolation my bwk's non too quick having had a life time of doing this.

  • PPS, how did you come about pointing the head joints with mortar in hand and not on the hawk. And what made you bend the plasterers hawk. I've been a tuckpointer for twenty five years and must say that your work looks better than I've ever seen.

  • @az13klf "Necessity is the mother of invention" the handle fell of my "perp hawk" many years ago so out of necessity I just picked up some mortar with my hand and found it easier and quicker although it may look a little unprofessional.

    I generally mix my own mortars but I have tried 'Blue Circle Mortar Mix' on a small job which I was quite pleased with.

    First pointed 48yrs. ago at the age of 16 but have specialized soley in repointing since 1986, up for retirement soon.

  • How many years have you been a tuckpointer. And what is your opinion on premixed mortars. I can't stand them, there to hard and go bad quickly IMHO.

  • @MegaMusical10 Thank's for that, much better than the Pollyfiller video what.

    Sobering evening after watching The Ten Brothers.

  • @MrLizbudu Best see my reply to 'Viewer number 99' guess it's simply a repointing hawk.

  • I enjoyed watching this dude. It was great!! Thanks for posting.
