Best method for “antique” cutting paving bricks
Hi,
I will be installing a small walkway in a herringbone pattern using old Purington pavers. They are almost 4 inches thick and 4 inches wide and are about 9 inches long. To do the herringbone, I will have to cut a lot of triangular pieces. These bricks are pretty tempered so I am curious as to the best way to cut them. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Darryl

I think a guillotine might do the job and maintain the desired "rustic" appearance. Of course, if you don't care for rustic and/or you need precision then a saw is what you want.
(If I were doing it and only had a few to cut I'd probably have a shot with a toothed stone chisel. But I'd never attempt to cut bunches that way.)
