The device is designed for bricklaying in order to maintain the same thickness of the seam. Thanks to such a very simple and uncomplicated design, you can easily make beautiful and very even masonry with all the distances between the bricks. Moreover, the device significantly facilitates and accelerates the work.
Brick Masonry

Design


The device consists of:
  • two horizontal slats 11x25 mm;
  • two horizontal strips 19x40 mm;
  • four planks vertical 19x40 mm;
  • two studs with a diameter of 10 mm with flaps, bolts and nuts, with which vertical strips are connected;
  • two screws with caps with a diameter of 20 mm with nuts and washers;
  • 40 mm finishing nails for fastening parts (the ends of the nails on the inside will need to be bitten off with nippers).

The total length of the structure is 850 mm. Horizontal slats are attached in the shape of the letter G. Sections from the edge to the vertical slats are 130 mm. The height of the vertical bars above the level of the entire structure is 100 mm. This height is chosen so that when laying brick the thread passes 15 mm above the vertical slats and does not interfere with the use of the device. To install vertical strips on the inside of the fixture, you will need to select two grooves in the horizontal bar 11x25 mm with a chisel.
All wooden parts are made of glued pine timber. To prevent moisture absorption from the solution, the surface is varnished.

Note: with the help of sheep on studs, you can adjust the width of the structure and work with a wider or narrower brick. The inner part is fixed tightly, only the outer side of the device can move.

Features of this design


The refinement of the design proposed on the YouTube channel by the user Nivok111 is as follows. The inner bar 11x25 mm is attached with a minimum approach to the brickwork, so as to only provide emphasis on the masonry during operation. The second (outer) strap is attached with the maximum possible approach of 13-15 mm.

On the outside of the device, at a distance of 30-40 mm from the edge of the vertical strips, screws are inserted through the drilled holes through the holes. Using washers that need to be padded or removed, the screws allow you to adjust the depth of the seam from almost 0 to 15 mm.

Way of working


The height of the horizontal slats rising above the masonry is 11 mm. The solution is superimposed on the masonry, evened out according to the level of the strips, after which the device extends further. Departures from vertical strips at the edges of the fixture are necessary to perform work on the edge of a brick wall.

    Such a device will only interfere with the work!
    A real mason puts a masonry with his eyes closed, even drunk)

    This adaptation is for students and summer residents. For a bricklayer, even with three years of experience, an unnecessary pile of firewood and screws.

    I propose to make the farthest distant rail longer by half a brick on each side. This will allow you to work on the corners of the building's box. and from metal to make (you can wash) will generally be eternal))).

    Dirty wall, hack, who will launder? Who will live in such a dirty house? You need to learn to put it on the sly, first on the shovel ... then on the partitions ... when you can put the partitions with your eyes closed and clean ... then proceed to the outdoor. Then to the arches and domes. How does he add to this garbage dome, interestingly.)))

    In the design of the clamp for the layout of the horizontal joint mortar, a strip-plate at one or both ends suggests itself for “mechanical” leveling of the mortar.

    And how to align vertically? To extend vertical bars by 6 cm to capture the lower row, and in general additional hemorrhage. Building corner and hands with desire. ))))

    Completely without useful shit ((((You’ll lose more time with it and it won’t be useless) it all walks with a shaker and not hard, you twist it every time - you will lay down 1 brick for 15 minutes, how will you measure it vertically? Two bolts on the rail for the gaps - generally GON))) in general, it is only in TOPOKU.

    So much time there is a video and never showed how to work in the example. He twirls in his hands for 8 minutes, but he doesn’t know how to work along the way or understands that she will only slow down the process.

      And if the wall is brick, one and a half. In the video, the masonry is still a curve. If it’s not a supermaster, it’s easier to put 2 square bars, the saddle, but the seam will be exactly the same and the masonry is flat, because the brick will go to bars.

    I didn’t understand. But why is it suitable for throwing a solution? I threw it. stretched out. that's all .. an example layer and so even a beginner will hold without tension. and then on an unaligned mortar, when the brick is upset, the seam will only become denser and stronger.
