bricklaying profiles

[wakey77]

hi all

I'm trying to get hold of a set of profiles consisting of a length of angle iron a couple of metal corner blocks which sit over the angle iron carrying the line and some heavy duty clamps
I'm told there usually made by blacksmiths
I've searched Google for them but can't find anything does anyone know of a company that supplies that kind of thing.
I already have a set of Blake's but don't really think much of them.

You are not using them right then. We have tried them all, and Blake's are better than cut bread. On price work will pay for their selves in a week.

hi the old un

I understand what you mean about Blake's but I find with them the lines can be a bit fiddly there's more parts to go missing and mainly there's more chance of them moving out of plumb either by a tight line or in most cases the shoddy knocking them lol I just fancied giving the angle iron method a go as it looks good and fast.
