Well, it half lays the bricks leaving the rest of the work for a professional to do after it’s half assed the job.
1200 bricks a day but still required that professional to help it out doesn’t particularly impress me and certainly isn’t going to be considered slightly cost effective.
500 bricks a day is pretty reasonable talking about like for like, straight runs using smaller bricks for a skilled professional, and they will do the job properly and completely.
Oh and what the video didn’t really show too accurately is how much cement is being wasted with the method of pumping it onto the bricks. Then when it places the brick in position how much just ends up on the floor. A quality brick layer will salvage the vast majority of that and reuse it. Can’t imagine any brickies out there will be bricking it on seeing this thing, at least not yet.
A sharp right to the side of the body, then an uppercut straight up the middle.
