Is this the "brickytool"?

Yes, made one exactly like it from MDF years ago.

Wish I had had the bunce to market the silly contraption ((



Its mechanical and stupid though.
Just keeps doing the same uniform thickness of mortar every time.
Can it pick up corners?
Can it get the first course level?
Can it allow for bricks being damper from some parts of the stack than
others?
Can it through skill and experience make the bed a little thicker, a
little thinner to allow for the bricks slumping more or less because the
sun is on one part of the wall while another part is in the shade?
Can it adjust vertical joints to allow for the wall not being a perfect
multiple of brick and (its) joint thickness?
etc
etc.
