How to Cut a Brick

How to cut a facing brick safely!

This is the 'Citizen Kane' of brick-cutting videos. Quite simply the greatest brick-cutting film of all time. My wife and I watch the video every night while we have dinner, and again before we go to bed. It's changed our lives. Thank you

Amazing video. Clear no-nonsense instructions and explanations as to why things are done as they are.

Never even considered the differing size from middle cut to sizing the brick to match your laying pattern by taking out that little section for the mortar!
Thanks for sharing and yes my brick oven thanks you as well!

Fantastic bit of work. Very good job, well presented. I hung on every word.

This is perfect for our new brick path we are creating! Thank you.

I wish I had seen this 150 bricks ago. 😂 I still have a lot more to lay so this will still come in handy. Cheers 👌

Too Easy! Thanks for the demo. I thought this was going to be a lot more difficult. I even have all the tools

If you score the brick all the way around, the crack tends to follow the score mark, less tiding up to do.

This is freaking awesome and damn near perfect

Hmmm this was just what i was looking for thank you. I would never have thought to use a mat. Now I just need to find a "bolster" with a gaurd, not your most easily found object in Hong Kong.

Nice vid. Wish it was as easy as you make it look! I feel like a wimp - but the job is done, thanks!

If u cut a brick in half, u have a half brick. Well done.

Very nice.  Can 4 x 8 concrete pavers be cut the same way?

Thank you sir, that's just what I needed. I quick bit of instruction. Good day!

[FugitiveZ]

Whoa, well done, I can you've done that (many times) before, nice job and video, but sadly not exactly what is needed for my job at hand. But as I said, nice work.

Good vid mate.i am about to shorten a wall in length by between 1-2 metre.

Cheers
