Finally! It isn't a tuck pointer! Thank you Al. We knew them as window trowels years ago. I will except finger trowel but when so called bricklayers call them tuck pointers I know they have never heard of tuck pointing. If you are a young lad reading this, Andy from Andy's world of bricklaying (have I got that name right Nuss?) has a really good video about tuck pointing. Learn your trade. Never ever call it a tuck pointer. Your the only guy I know that has a bucket for his bucket handles. Hats off to you Al. ( I know it is a Hultafor tote but don't ruin my line.) Totally with you on shallow jointing. Donging up is an underrated part of bricklaying, you can make your work look really good if you learn to do it correctly and use the right brush.

When I was working over there, the Aussies called them Frenchman’s or frenchys. Absolutely no idea why, they were all a bit mad to be honest, to much sun and bad beer got the best of them 😂 Keep up the top vids Al 👍

Keep it in the coolest room, mine is at 74 , it’s what happens in summer. I never worry too much about it
If your joints are rather tight it’s harder to smoke 🚬

Usually when you re-point there is existing brick work so I usually match the rest of the work on the building
