I have come to learn the term 'slicking' is an american term for jointing. There are many finishes to mortar joints depending mainly on the brick being used or simply the desire of the appearence of the finish product. I have many tools for the variety of finishes and the pointing trowel used in this video is by far the best tool to achieve the 'V' or old English style on a bulls eye, definately if the joints are wedged or using axed bricks as shown. Thank you again for your comment.

Robs one Queation and not a critiscism why point the arch and joint the wall? - Bucket handle for those that are not brickkies is used for jointing a round impressed joint, whereas a pointing trowel for 'shaped' laid in joint.

The work looks good but why does everyone use there trowls as a slicking tool? There are tools for every phase of this trade and using the back of the trowl isnt one of them. When making these videos i believe the person making it should use the proper tools so to teach the people right. Nice looking work though.

Probably not entirely his fault. The rates for laying bricks have seriously gone back so workmanship is compromised. I remember earning £90 a day back in 1987, working in the docklands area. I recently got offered £100 a day to lay bricks at the olympic village, 24 years later. Thatcher wasn't so bad after all.

His work looks that of a typical English bricklayer. Wedged joints because he has not bothered to cut the vissours. Rough enough in my book.
