...and that means I'm six months overdue on doing the brick facing on 
the outdoor kitchen I framed up last year.  It's a welded-steel frame 
faced with Wonderboard with gas grill and the like, and that part's all 
done, I just need to face it now.

I've got a large pile of brick sitting here, from various parts of our 
house (fireplace, exterior trim) pre-remodel, and I think I know how to 
mix mortar, and I've pretty much figured out all the dimensions.

So how does one cut brick?

I know it's been done with hammers and chisels, and I suppose if that's 
the RIGHT way I've got lots of extra brick to practice on.

I own angle grinders and a Harbor Freight metal cutoff saw and the usual 
collection of other power apparatus, but no wet-saws or anything of that 
nature.

I haven't yet tried running the circular saw with the masonry blade over 
a brick to see what happens.

John.
