Another morning of hot-weather landscaping. I'm breaking concrete pavers into flagstones.

I smack them with a hammer aiming for specific shapes…

"Madagascar. I need Madagascar"
*Whack*
"Shit - Texas. Damn."
"Australia, Australia c'mon"
*Smack*
"Crap - Galapagos. Ugh"

This must be how #Slartibartfast felt.

@ottaross If you have a chisel, you can chisel a line along where you want the paver to break before hitting it with a hammer. This will increase the odds of getting what you want. Works a treat with natural stone, not sure about concrete pavers.

(My mom had a stone masonry hobby)

@jvschrag oh yes, got lots of masonry chisels, but playing geography roulette seems like more fun somehow. 🤣

If I get fussy I'll probably use a masonry blade on the grinder and score them first.
