Regarding a bricklaying corner "profile", i.e. a guide you strap to
the corners to get perfect corners. These seem to all be about 150
quid, and are quite simply designed, but probably overly sturdy for a
one-off job.
Anyone made a DIY corner profile ? I know its basically simple, but
things like stabilizing and adjustment are never as simple as they
seem.

What's it supposed to do? I just put one brick on top of another
(bonded, and with mortar of course), and use a spirit level to make
sure they're vertical (in both directions).

Brick laying /really/ isn't that difficult. (Unless you want to cut a
queen closer with a single blow of the trowel, or similar pro tricks.)

I've had success with what I've done so far, but since its my first
wall anywhere near as high,
I want to try and eliminate possible error. And if you can bang each
corner brick into a piece
of angle iron, you can't go wrong.
