Wow he must have a serious Nigel Mansell neck on him.

I used to work with a guy that used a plasterers hod to move bricks, for those that don't no a normal hod carries 12 bricks and a plasterers hod is about twice the size but I can't remember how many bricks he put in it.

It's not so much the strength required that amazes me, but the incredible skill of balancing them and throwing them up in the first place.
I wonder if they weigh as much as our standard housebricks, though.

Anyone remember the story of the hod carrier in the 70's (I think)  who wanted a rolls Royce so he just worked his Nutz off untill he earned enough money to buy one..

Haha - too true. My father saw a H & S guy putting up a safety sign on a dodgy step ladder and he fell off it! Oh the irony!  :D ;)

Seriously impressive though!

I would have expected the plank to bend more with all that weight so I'm a little suspicious ::)
