  funny isnt it, when you have done something so long and are extremely good like this, it is so hard to show somebody in slow motion or even at times explain how and what you do, &nbsp;you just do it lol &nbsp;but this was an excellent video and explained great!

  I had this realisation with perps at the weekend with a DIY project. I think the reason it works if your edges are more tapered (rather than flattening out the perp and having squarer sides) is because of the squeeze out towards the edge of the brick as you drive for your 10mm gap. So I think it&apos;s all about having the right amount of it and the right technique.

  I&apos;m a reasonably handy bloke. I can turn my hand to most simple jobs. But watching a skilled bricklayer makes me know there are some skills only time and practice give a person. Bricklaying is one (I was a hoddie many years ago) but so is videography. The bricklaying is definitely better!
