How it Works
Due for release early 2020.
The Gablemaster.com
offers the Bricklayer a safe, one handed clamp operation which easily attaches an integral channel to the top surface of any roof rafter (65mm to 225mm deep). This can be done from the safety of the scaffolding and is achieved because the Gablemaster.com
can be secured at any angle on the rafters with one hand whilst still maintaining its accuracy.This then offers the multiple points required for the gable ‘cut up’ and corbel detail.
Two of the clamps are attached to the top of the rafters using a one handed clamp with the integral channels in them which allows the slide bar to move freely along them because the channels are a few millimetres bigger than the slide bar. From the clamp closest to the bricklayer, the slide bar can be securely fixed in position by the bricklayer and then adjusted to any subsequent position in and out by using the one, easily reached thumb turn closest to the gable. There is no need to touch the thumb turn on the second clamp as this channel just acts as a guide for the slide rule. The channels rotate which allows them to be clamped at any angle on the roof and avoids the need to re-attach them.
Standard brick sizes are marked on the vertical section of the sliding bar with grooves to hold the builders line in place and a line holder slot is also on the top of the bar for ease of use. Importantly the Gablemaster.com
can be used where easy access cannot be made by a profile attached squarely to the two trusses adjacent to the gable, where other trusses or valley boards prevent that. This enables the lower portion of the brickwork ‘cut up’ and corbel to be accurately built. The Gablemaster.com is fixed from the safety of the scaffolding without the need to climb up the roof trusses because the channel furthest away from the scaffold can be positioned lower where it can be safely reached from the scaffolding.
Predominantly intended for the construction of the gable end ‘cut up’ and corbel detail, the size, strength and rigidity of Gablemaster.com profiles also offers an ideal solution to forming a parapet wall on the gable, simply by re-inserting the slide bar the other way up. The Gablemaster.com
can also be used to form the inner block work cut up on a cavity wall. The Gablemaster.com
can also be stored using the two holes in them to hang them horizontally on hooks with the clamps hooked over them.
The Gablemaster.com
is unique tool and has a patent pending so it is only available through Gablemaster Ltd.
The Gablemaster.com
offers a long-term, safe, and accurate solution to forming the brick and block work cuts required in forming a sharp, neat ‘cut up’ and then the corbel detail to gable ends.
Gablemaster.com profiles are designed to be robust, standing up to both repeated use by the bricklayer and transport in a builders van.
Currently the ‘cut up’ and corbel detail is often addressed in the following way:
Two pieces of timber from site are nailed together at 90 degrees using a triangle of plywood to hold the timbers in the correct place.
A bricklayer climbs up the trusses 6 or 7 meters from the floor with hammer and nails and attaches the ‘hockey stick’ to the trusses, a string line is then attached at the end of the L shape. Another bricklayer on the scaffolding then judges when the line is plumb using a spirit level, and the bricklayer balanced on the rafters adjusts and fixes accordingly.
In a corbel detail, the L shape timber will have to be de-nailed, moved and re-nailed several times.
The disadvantages of this process are: the welfare of the bricklayer in climbing repeatedly up and down rafters working at height with a potential 6m - 7m fall; the practice is potentially dangerous and inaccurate as the position is not always maintained during the bricklaying process; it is also costly in wasted bricklayer time and in timber that needs replacing.
“The Gablemaster.com
is certainly a tool worth having. It saves the bricklayer hours and is simple and safe to use”
