Stone work for Garden Benches

Wet Saw Mania!

After cutting stone with a hand saw for the past few months, I was eager for an easier method. The hand saw created clouds of dust, and it was constantly difficult to set the stones for a safe, straight cut.  The idea arrived to rented a wet saw!  In two days time, I cut 33 pieces, from a load I had amassed via a delightful counter top dumpster. I grabbed my mother and her trailer to pick up the rented saw.  We unloaded and set this efficient beast up, having been novices, I felt quite content with ourselves.  After making a few swift cuts, I was feeling very good indeed.  

Now I have a variety of dimensions and patterns.  Many of the stones have a match for the mirroring benches, that face one another.  The result is, a store house has been created!  The process should with less frustration and sawing biproduct in the future.
