It was this big... Now its this big...

any teeth left on that blade? need a mason rope blade for hacksaw to cut thick rock.
Usually the rock is so soft it just cuts no matter the blade... those things are made for metal pipe after all...

yeah they’re all there. My mistake was grabbing a hacksaw that has 24 teeth per inch without seeing it. It cuts. But it takes forever
 
Those look amazing! Def the right size. Great shape.

yeah I’m super pleased. I’ve played a bit with them and there are ways they fit together like puzzle pieces and make arches and such. And I still have this to break up:

Shoulda drilled holes and used Black Cat firecrackers. Fire in the hole!

Save the small (tiny) peices and the dust. Use it in place of sand and to mask the sand with rock peices. Do it right and you won't even see the joints...

I’ve been saving all the rubble I’ve gotten. The sand is going to be harder but I’m going to try.

here’s the final product. I’ve got a handful of pieces that while not totally flat, sit square. So they will be my foundations. Anyway here’s the final pile. I’ll be adding all of this to my build. But figured you’d wanna see lol

Excellent
 
Getting ready to bust some rock here too...

do share my guy. I spent 4 hours (thanks to the hacksaw) sitting on my patio with a moving blanket. Neighbors kiddos peeked over the fence to see why I was hammering away lol

Really though. I’m happy with the pieces I got. I see what you mean about following the rock. Looked at each piece, had a hunch where to apply chisel, got great useable pieces and rubble.

played around with the pieces while taking a smoke break, eerie how they fit together when you don’t think about it.
