Hi all The brickie comes tomorrow to start building my extension.It needs 700
18x8x4 7 N blocks.He told me he would need several half blocks cut.Out with the diamond blade Stihl saw on with the water system--help!! the marking lines obscured/washed off by concrete gunk. Is there a jig I can buy or do I have to bodge something up I was thinking made of 2x2-yup Im an old imperialist its much superior to simple metric 3/4-1/2-1/4-1/8-1/18-1/32-1/64-et al.4 inch Bolster and lump hammer do the job just fine.
put block on FLAT, CLEAN surface, score a line, wack a line with a couple of wacks on the bolster at each end, then a couple more with harder wacks - it shoule be throught by now.
The the under surface is not flat & clean it will effect where the cut goes.

Use the force Luke . . . . I dunno, lines, jigs, pah!
If they're concrete (not aerated), then a block guillotine is a much nicer way to cut them. You can hire these (about £12/day last time) from most tool hire places.
If they're aerated, a hand saw is the best way.
