Regarding a bricklaying corner "profile", i.e. a guide you strap to the corners to get perfect corners. These seem to all be about 150 quid, and are quite simply designed, but probably overly sturdy for a one-off job. Anyone made a DIY corner profile ? I know its basically simple, but things like stabilizing and adjustment are never as simple as they seem. Simon.
DIY bricklaying corner profile

What's it supposed to do? I just put one brick on top of another (bonded, and with mortar of course), and use a spirit level to make sure they're vertical (in both directions).
Brick laying /really/ isn't that difficult. (Unless you want to cut a queen closer with a single blow of the trowel, or similar pro tricks.)
I've had success with what I've done so far, but since its my first wall anywhere near as high, I want to try and eliminate possible error. And if you can bang each corner brick into a piece of angle iron, you can't go wrong. Simon.
