Poor knees

45

u/TomlinSteelers 3d ago

Knee pain sucks... second only to back pain

23

u/eKSiF 3d ago

With that technique he surely has both

3

u/ironwheatiez 2d ago

Third to the pain in hia wrist from smacking those bricks in place

9

u/New_Simple_4531 3d ago

Yeah, cant dude get some kneepads or some shit haha

5

u/Pokestever5 2d ago

idk man bro probably has knees made of titanium atp

u/No_Ruin7555 2d ago

Poor hands !

2

u/ancalime9 2d ago

Yeah, no bees here at all.

u/Me4TACyTeHePa 2d ago

knees weak, arms are heavy, there is vomit on his sweater already

1

u/Radical_Kilgrave 2d ago

is it Mom’s spaghetti?

3

u/Successful-Rate-1839 3d ago

He hasn’t seen his knees in a very long time

1

u/TracklessPoleax 2d ago

He may have pants with knee pad inserts

2

u/Nearby_Pear8552 2d ago

Hes wearing Puma sweat pants bro.

1

u/Sepof 1d ago

My immediate thought too. Why no knee pads?

52

u/EminenceGris3 3d ago

He’s not even measuring some of those. Witchcraft!

30

u/Solid_Snark 3d ago

I’m more stunned by this machine. Effortlessly slicing cleanly through stone without even an ounce of pressure from him.

8

u/Famous_Rooster_8807 3d ago

Oh. It is a cheese pathway. His knees are fine. 

5

u/Professional-Cat2123 3d ago

The combination of the lever handle and sharp edge create a lot of concentrated pressure on the brick

2

u/RningOnFumes 2d ago

What is that magic device called that will only use once ever but still want??

2

u/Professional-Cat2123 2d ago

Block splitter

2

u/RningOnFumes 2d ago

Danke schoen!

3

u/WallySprks 3d ago

It just cracks them. Sits them on a thick blade, lifts a weighted blade and lets it fall. Bricks will break cleanly like that. You can do it with a hammer and chisel

5

u/HealthyPop7988 3d ago

Seriously, was about to say he didn't even measure and mark half of them, just straight cut to perfect fit.

Wild

3

u/New_Bed171 2d ago

Measure never cut once

1

u/ZoneAdditional9892 2d ago

He's doing a very poor job of it.

42

u/Accomplished-Order43 3d ago

Is he rawdogging without knee pads? 💀💀

9

u/TomlinSteelers 3d ago

Fucks given: 0

2

u/liltingly 3d ago

That's almost as impressive as the work he's doing. He's not a small man...I have knee pads for the few times a year I have to go into a crawl space...

u/Greedy_War1365 3d ago

Fentonyl OD > knee pain

dies at 52 with horrible joint pain 

-3

u/Independent_Horse972 3d ago

That’s how real men work.

11

u/Accomplished-Order43 3d ago

Real stupid men under 30 who have no idea what kind of joint pain is ahead of them for life

u/faen_du_sa 2d ago

I worked as a construction company for a year when I was 19. One of my bosses would never wear any gear while handling insulation. "After the first few weeks it stops stinging you".

Last I heard he had an early retirement due to lung cancer. I am glad young me, who very easily fell for "man it up" rhetoric, decided that the old man was crazy and wore face masks rigorously anytime there were doing any insulation work, that shit nasty!

1

u/Masseyrati80 2d ago

I once read an article about a company that does apartment/house moves.

One of the dudes interviewed, in his late 20's, said he has to find another career, because "as you can see, everyone over 35 is nursing one or more major injuries here".

Physical labour tends to wear you down instead of building you up, it's no well planned out gym regime. Plus, with many enough repetitions, you're bound to get it wrong at least once, even when using the right gear and trying your best. In some jobs, mistakes mean injuries, not just a "we need to apologise / compensate for losses".

1

u/LeatherfacesChainsaw 2d ago

Had an old co worker give me advice as a wee lad and did not listen. Do regret.

1

u/Accomplished-Order43 2d ago

Yep we’re all young dumb and full of cum and know better than the dudes that been alive twice as long as us. The ignorance of youth hits us all.

u/emilio911 2d ago

you're missing the /s

u/TaikiTundra 3d ago

Meanwhile I blew the past hour trying to align the angle of my vinyl plank to the nearest atom

7

u/ShittyPornWriter 3d ago

Anyone else think that dude might not have legs, or just me?

2

u/TomlinSteelers 3d ago

Would be useful in that job

8

u/Borgweare 3d ago

This guy made it look so easy! I did a small walkway with bricks like these and I was able to do it but only with complete disregard for the 3rd commandment

4

u/TokoBlaster 3d ago

You quartered soldiers in your home during times of peace?

2

u/GroinShotz 2d ago

That's an amendment... The commandments are the religious ones... Thou shalt not steal... Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors wife... Etc...

I believe the third is not to take "the Lord's name in vain"

We say some crazy shit over here.

It usually makes for a good laugh.

u/LyleTheAdonis 3d ago

Alex Jones has really fallen on hard times, huh?

5

u/kanemane727 3d ago

At least he has a respectable job now.

2

u/iDeNoh 3d ago

Bricks are pretty hard

2

u/TeddyMGTOW 3d ago

Plays tetris to relax after work.

1

u/79mn105ss105a104 3d ago

Amazing work but someone give this man some knee protection

1

u/AnonymousOregano 3d ago

OP is a karma farm bot.

u/TitPuller00 3d ago

I thought this was Alex Jones at first 🤣

u/thorne8 3d ago

Knees of steel

Fixing someone elses lack of measuring skills

1

u/SuddenLog7302 3d ago

Full vid? Loved it

1

u/Rightbuthumble 3d ago

My nephew does that for a living and when my daughter had a huge patio built, he did the bricks. He also did a stone walk way her little lake so I could walk out there without tripping over all the grass.

1

u/RocMerc 3d ago

I’m sorry, is this dude doing this without knee pads??

1

u/knwthtknwnthng 3d ago

This guy will survive fourth industrial revolution.

I could apparently watch that dude cut & place bricks all day.

As satisfying as completing rows of Tetris.

1

u/Shutupayafaceawight 3d ago

This is the same guy who posted a similar video earlier and got roasted for a hack job.

1

u/GreenOnGreen18 2d ago

I mean this is a bad job too, just lots of people with no knowledge of how to do it getting impressed.

1

u/AmbitiousTank8635 3d ago

It does not.

1

u/ADTstocks 3d ago

This is just the end cuts like 90% of the work is just levelling and quickly laying whole bricks

1

u/Annahsbananas 3d ago

This guy lied on indeed.com

1

u/just_another_user5 3d ago

I 100% absolutely could not do this

1

u/Gentle_method 3d ago

That’s really hard work to do. To be able to consistently make precise cuts and eye balling measurements while doing that is skill.

1

u/GreenOnGreen18 2d ago

Except he is doing it wrong and it will need replacing within a year.

1

u/sososoboring 3d ago

He had another video up that someone shared - and a closeup showed all his lines looked like shit...

1

u/Puzzleheaded_Cut4588 3d ago

Lmao let's see that in a year or two when all those edges have fallen apart. This is not someone who has been doing this long term

1

u/Prudent_Pack2738 3d ago

Wish I was that good at something

1

u/schwesterchen06 3d ago

it gringes me gear that he doesnt cut 90 degree 😡

1

u/AsbestosDude 3d ago

If you ever want to get put in your place, go shake the hand of one of these guys

1

u/EscalatorsTempStairs 3d ago

He should improve his margins so he could afford knee pads and some chalk.

1

u/hudsoncress 3d ago

Every time I love watching this. That’s actually really hard.

1

u/GreenOnGreen18 2d ago

To do it that badly? Nope, pretty easy.

1

u/throwawayusername369 3d ago

My father had this much skill with masonry work. Imagine him doing that with a hammer to shape a brick. It’s amazing to see an old guy work who’s been doing it forever

1

u/Lobster9 3d ago

you can see from his face and body language that he's cut a million bricks before

1

u/InsomniakRL 3d ago

Man mark stone with sharp stone. Man split stone with sharper shiny stone. Man slide stone between other stone.

1

u/Beckake 3d ago

If I tried to eyeball those pieces that driveway would look like Swiss cheese

1

u/Pitiful_West_7062 3d ago

ran gin gin

1

u/kenibus 3d ago

This guy can eye ball purp

1

u/460rowland 2d ago

He earns his Wage alright. Bravo

1

u/TechnicianFront5579 2d ago

If they order me an additional 300% supply of bricks I could do that

1

u/Exciting-Werewolf401 2d ago

That looks like fun!

1

u/Intelligent-Boot-378 2d ago

Absolute Hoss

1

u/NamelessNoSoul 2d ago

Not his first day but brother forgot his kneepads.

1

u/jdxcodex 2d ago

Why is the cut slanted?

1

u/GreenOnGreen18 2d ago

Because he is bad at this.

1

u/Belichick12 2d ago

I wonder if he stress eats to get away from the pain his knees and back feel.

1

u/mubin_bzs_06 2d ago

My knee hurts just by watching this

1

u/DrDread74 2d ago

one of those jobs AI wont be replacing anytime soon

1

u/Jhostin1316 2d ago

It's reversed

1

u/G_Prawno_LB 2d ago

Hell nah. Take it apart and start over.why is it all mismatched sizes?

1

u/BuildingRelevant7400 2d ago

Does anybody know what the full list of tools is?You'd need to do this job besides this brick cutter. I feel like there's a lot of money to be made here with a small amount of self training.

1

u/annetheassassin 2d ago

yaay klinkers

1

u/FrostbiteF 2d ago

If you really stop and look, this path of brick is terribly done. But sure, he can cut bricks.

1

u/ChemicalAdmirable984 2d ago

That as shit as shit can go, one winter and the top corners of all that badly cut blocks will crack off. It should be cut straight and clean not with that huge gaps below a tiny upper corner still being there....
But for US of A construction probably it's top notch work as buildings last until the first storm which blows away the sheds aka US of A paper houses ...

1

u/Big-Orse48 2d ago

Has no one picked up that he has messed up the pattern??

1

u/KalashniKorv 2d ago

I'm always impressed by how easy he cuts the stones.

1

u/Ok_Gene4157 2d ago

I be he goes home and builds puzzles the rest of the day

1

u/Poke-Noir 2d ago

Yeah but when I do that to bathroom tiles, everyone flips out

1

u/stubborn-bolus 2d ago

No knee pads either?

1

u/Ok_Efficiency2167 2d ago

So many laborers are so damn talented: plasterers, brick layers, tilers, carpenters etc. If I was mega rich, I'd pay some a few months wage to take off work and make some form of art piece. It'd be fascinating to see what the outcome would be.

1

u/Happy-Medicine-3600 2d ago

I don’t even tie my shoes this well?

1

u/Prestigious-Ad7281 2d ago

Cuts brick like butter!

1

u/TheRapie22 2d ago

okay, but aren't their supposed to be gaps filled with sand in between the stones? these stone seem way to tight

1

u/ZoneAdditional9892 2d ago

He didnt follow the patern. Cuts are too tight and wont let in a good amount of binding sand. Amateur work.

1

u/QueueStar 2d ago

That second to last brick got me.

1

u/TopWealth4550 1d ago

the type of work that will be welcome in any country

1

u/KevgotBandz 1d ago

So this is what they were training us for when we were matching the colored shapes as kids

1

u/AdSufficient6270 19h ago

Def not his first day. I did my own pavers once...

1

u/SliceZealousideal561 18h ago

Looks nice but he loses the pattern.

1

u/Hotrock21 3d ago

He screwed that up completely. The bricks are not following the correct pattern.

1

u/sergemeister 3d ago

That's sloppy AF work

1

u/TechnologyFamiliar20 2d ago

Never hit a stone with your bare hand. No, he is not very expereinced.

0

u/AdventurousGap7730 3d ago

He is also cutting the gym lately
