Having got my uneven slabs sorted, and thanks for the feedback, it was reassuring. I have been deciding my plan of attack for the brick edging.
I will need to cut some of the bricks. Unfortunately I can't find any reference to hand cutting bricks on the site. I would cut them using a bolster chisel, but it's always good to have some tips on how to do a good job of it.
I can only find ref to using splitters. with only a small number of bricks to cut the cost wouldn't be worth it.
Are there tips on the site, or anyone got any??.
The way I seem to find best is basically just go all the way round the block with the bolster so theres a continuous groove, then give it a good few hits on the top and it should come apart, but sometimes, its just not to be heh
Thanks for the reply Stuarty. That's the way I have, on the very rare occasions I have had to cut bricks. Most successful some not. As you said.
The problem I have though is I tried cutting one today to the kind of mitre shown on your website, hope this link works. http://www.pavingexpert.com/images/blocks/mitre03.jpg
The bricks seem to have a natural desire to break across the width. So to hire a cutter for just a handful of bricks. I'm clutching at straws here, any ideas or help would be great.
Thanks again
