I have just managed to build a small retaining wall in my garden from reclaimed bricks, and I am absolutley delighted with it.
I don't think I could have done it without the use of the bricky and the DVD showing me how to do it, so I am very grateful to you, it really did make life a lot easier.
Job done now, Thanks very much. It really is as excellent as all your publicity.

I am a very keen DIYer and will tackle any job but the thought of laying over 1,000 bricks and 200+ blocks for our new conservatory worried me. Particularly when I wanted a professional looking finish and didn't want to pay the professional price tag.
Like many others who had seen the TV ads and YouTube videos, I was a little worried that this would be another DIY gadget which would be used once then hidden in the garage or garden shed never to be used again.
BUT.... I'm pleased to say that it works and works quite well.
It will not turn you into a professional builder but it will allow you to build quicker, neater and more accurate. The instructions with the kit are pretty clear and I think it would be possible for a complete novice to produce a reasonable quality wall but I would suggest taking your time and maybe even build a "practice" wall before tackling the real job.
The only issues I've found:
1. The plastic pointing tool doesn't work too well, I used it to point up a couple of joints and then threw it away. I'd advise spending an extra few pounds and buy a proper stainless steel brick jointing tool from Screwfix
2. The way the system works means you work in a left-to-right direction with the brickwork. This can be make laying the bed of mortar a little awkward at times
3. Cavity wall spacing MUST be at least 65mm to accommodate the width of the large mortar tray
4. Consistency and the wetness of the mortar is CRITICAL. Add a good quality plasticiser to the mix. (Do not add washing-up liquid!)
5. The water absorption rate of the bricks can cause a few problems and make working with the system difficult. Found that dipping the brick in water or hosing the pile of bricks down with water before laying them helped a lot
Not quite the full 5 stars.... if I could give it 4.5 out of 5 I would

I am a serious diy addict and over the years have bought loads of helpfull kit but this is by far the BEST tool i have ever bought, it makes brick laying easy and the finish looks and is very professional, to have employed a brick layer to do the wall i needed building would have cost me a small fortune did it for a fraction of the cost well done Mr Marshall a winner with out a doubt.

Easy to use.
