Default brikmat bricklaying aid

Anyone got opinions on this ?
You have to level the bottom course yourself, but I'm sure it could
help me progress from the "low brick wall" to building an extension !

By the way, how accurate are bricks ? They would need to be very
precise to ensure no veering off on a high brick wall.

It depends on the bricks: flettons and wire-cut extruded bricks (the
ones with holes in them) are usually pretty consistent. If you pay
serious money you can get hand made stocks - no two the same.

It's quite good. Bought a pack at the show and they do seem to help me keep
the corners uniform. Of course a pro bricky wouldn't have this problem.

For new ones - very
For old ones - ho ho
