If you can beg/borrow/steal an air compressor, you can
get $20 air hammers and put a $1 air chisel in there, and
have at it.
It's fast, effective, and a lot of fun. When I first
got my air compressor it was so fun to crack up masonry
that I destroyed half of my "odd bricks and cinder blocks"
pile just for fun.
I use the air chisel to cut stones for patios and gardens
too, just score the cut you want to make with an angle
grinder and a masonry wheel, then hit it with the chisel
and it cracks along the line.
