Iv been laying bricks 30 years so I'm an old fart 😅, trust me you are doing the right thing I remember the days like you that I just loved laying Bricks, wanted to be the fastest and neatest. Non of us want to take the responsibility of supervisor but If you are good at what you do it just happens. I'm now running massive multi million pound jobs in London and have been for 10 years with one of the biggest brickwork contractors out there. It's hard and I don't lay Bricks but I'm passing my knowledge to other people which is good. I'd love to be house building it's such an simple process and the buzz of a small gang working and having the craic is fantastic. Good luck mate and keep up the good content as it's so different from what I do and it reminds me of the good old days. 👍

Love the staying positive Izzy and yes the paperwork, wages and all that has to go with it as you grow. Time and time again I use to leave that to just lay some bricks to clear the head. As you grow buddy maybe think, as I did, which again is more money, but worth it, employ a good QS, the time and agro that saves is well worth it. Keep it neat, fast and plumb which is all I see at the minute, so well done buddy. Maybe time to think of getting your own wheelbarrow scaffold fixed hoist, again well worth the money, and a very good forward looking health thought to save a lot of lumping and leg work.

When I was an apprentice we had got a big detached up to plate, it had four windows 2 up 2 down and a big central arched window on the stairs . Brick up to joist then block and render above to have Tudor timbers on top ( 🤢it was the eighties 🤣🤣) anyway one night after a howler the whole front blew in and took most of the Floor with it, 😱 good job it happened over night. Anyway my grumpy boss was very grumpy that week . It’s a horrible feeling finding it and gut wrenching re building the same wall .

I run my own business (Gen Builder) its a major step up from just laying, but being in control has its benefits, its not easy, its time consuming but when you get customers loving what you've built its very satisfying. You have proved yourself to be more than capable of doing the Foremans job, rectifying poor brickwork and levels when 1st on site, your organised and have a great work ethic.

It's great to see the way you are bringing on your Apprentice, active instruction and encouragement. (No need to tear someone a second arseole) I was a Shipwright Apprentice back in the 60s, and I must have been very lucky. Because in all of my 5 years of that Apprenticeship, I was trained by many skilled men and not one of them had a go at me for making a mistake. (And believe me, I made some beauties!)

I'm not a brickie but I still watch every week. I used to fire bricks though. Eliistown Brick, now Ibstock Brick, early 90s. We used to make 1.1 to 1.2 million Class B Engineering bricks per week. I know what it's like shifting large amounts of bricks, if I had to scrap a whole kiln car that's over 50 ton of bricks into a skip in about 6 hours. Happy days, health is crap nowadays, live it to the max while you are young.

@@IzzytheBricky Cheers Izzy mate. I should be clear, there'd be a gang of 4 of us scrapping a kiln car. I wasn't on my own. 2 lads on forklifts constantly bringing in and emptying skips. It didn't happen often either and there'd be a bollocking if it did. The whole process of making bricks was heavily mechanised. Basically, quarry clay on site, some of it came from Wales though in lorries, depending on if we are making red bricks or buff bricks. Clay goes into massive steel rollers to crush any rocks. Into extruder machine where it's forced under massive pressure into a brick shaped slug about 8ft long with perfs. Then a grid of wires like a line of cheese cutters comes down and chops the slug into individual bricks. 2 days drying. 2 days firing. Unloaded from kiln cars and made into packs - all mechanised. I reckon all brickies should see how they are made. And vice versa, all brickmakers should learn about what goes into bricklaying. Your videos are excellent mate, all the best Izzy.

When i was a first year apprentice i had this forman that used to yell if you hit the brick more then twice with your trowel to get the brick down to the line. He says if you hit the brick with your trowel more then twice you are not laying brick right and you are wasting the companys money because you are taking to much time laying the brick, but i was always told by the union that as a apprentice your job is to lay the brick to the line no matter how long it takes. The forman is a company man and wants bricks to be laid fast.

My workplace closed down few weeks ago I was there nearly 8 years and I was made redundant so I've decided to take a few weeks to try and clear my head and redecorate / repair my house and I was considering trying to do a apprenticeship in brick laying I'm a 34 year old father of 2 so I was working 6-2 so I can pick my kids up and be home before my wife leaves for work and currently don't drive fingers crossed I can get my licence would my age or any circumstances go against me when it comes to applying for a apprenticeship loving watching the videos to pick up some little tips

Hi mate, sorry for the late reply! Very unfortunate that you've been made redundant, hope things are picking up for you! If your interested in becoming a Bricklayer, I would suggest becoming a "hod carrier" first. While your labouring, you can pick up the trowel and learn like that!💪 All the best, any questions just give me a message brother

Hi, been watching your work and progress a while now. Well done and grab the opportunities that come your way and see where it takes you! How about adding a small electric hoist to the scaffold on a swivel jib to save all that climbing up and down the ladders with buckets of compo/bricks/blocks?

You are a bloody grafter, the thing that amazes me is that you mix up and never gauge it in a bucket so to get all your compo the same colour is incredible.
