True story here .Some brickies wear women’s tights underneath trousers in winter .Itches like feck I’m told . Have you built any twisted spiral brick pillars mate.how would you check it's plumb as you go up.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 The only round pillars I’ve built have been around a round steel wind brace set in already .Just a case of measuring off pole to edge of each brick face .If it’s a square brace you make up a half moon template to move up every course .Did a beauty down in Yeovil years ago that was 4 foot diameter ,Old English Flemish bond .Piece of rope loosely tied around pole to run round for brick face .Those are the sort of jobs I like rather than running in the line .Small pillars require half bricks to get the tight circumference . If it’s offset twists your on about ,a wooden template set upright would be better to the touch face against each course .I’m guessing your talking corbaling rather than cut squints . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ah fair play.im not up to speed with corbaling or squints to be honest..I've only ever seen 2 spiral pillars really eye catching..they were like these.. And come across this online.how the hell do you make the form work for something like that mate.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 Bloody hell mate .Not sure on the structural properties on those columns but looks fancy . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
king 11,980 Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 It is weird I can't see how they could make form work in that shape.. They have obviously built the 2 sides separately and cut the 2 middle courses to fit. I think trying that with a hangover wouldn't be fun lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
