You're hands where moist and trembling when you wrote that eh Buzz ;o)))))

Try and avoid bashing the bricks into oblivion or you'll probably loosen them completely.

Bunch of faggots, club hammer and a bolster.

Remember my apprenticeship had to chop in twenty 45 mm double boxes in engineering bricks with a club hammer and bolster it was soul destroying, thank f*** for a kango

No spoon

Nope, I had to use the rawl plug tool to spoon sugar and to stir the tea as well......

This forum never lets me down! Angle grinder went through the brick like it was warm chocolate.

So much dust though, you really weren’t joking @James the Spark1976 !

It's worth getting a dedicated wall chaser. It's effectively two angle grinder blades in an enclosure with a vacuum cleaner port which keeps the dust down.

I don't think that lot would fit even if you lube'd up with partially melted tallow.......

Glad the grinder did the trick..

Talking of engineering bricks...
I had a kitchen to do last year, with some of the hardest engineering bricks I'd ever seen.
4x 5.5mm SDS drill bits and 3 sets of Diamond blades on my chaser, you had to deburr the wall after running a cut up the wall.. There so much metal mixed in with some of the bricks you could literally stick a magnet to the wall.

I got there in the end, anyone else ever seen bricks like that ?

They where thinking a few years back to turn steel mill waste/dust into bricks for construction, known as waelz slag, maybe it was something similar from years back.
