Thanks all again for previous assistance. It' been invaluable to me. My next job is for a Driveline Elite Drive. And my question is re setting out the edgings to suit bond. With a herringbone pattern the blocks are just cut to the edges wherever they meet. With a straight line (staggered bond) pattern such as would suit the above, what's the best way to ensure that I don't meet the edge with an unsightly split? It's not like brickwork where I would set out to suit, or just open or squeeze the joints.
Excuse all the questions, but branching out from site bricklaying raises a few questions for me.

Thanks for the pointer, Tony. I see I just turn the blocks to suit the edge, the same as with herringbone. I've seen some terrible looking small cuts at the edges which stand out like the proverbial sore thumb with this bond and wanted to avoid it.

Thanks
