Cobblestone has been used in the construction of walls, floors and streets for hundreds of years. Installing cobblestone does not normally involve cutting the stones, but you may want to split some for aesthetic purposes around the edges. Knowing split cobblestone with your brick hammer is a convenient skill on the job site when you are not near the saw. Practicing splitting cobblestones will improve your technique. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Grasp the stone firmly in one gloved hand while gripping your brick hammer with the other. Strike the stone with the chisel end of the hammer just hard enough to make a mark on the stone.
2. Turn the cobblestone in your hand and strike it again, making a second mark next to the first. Continue tapping the stone to make a mark around the circumference of the stone with the chisel side of your brick hammer.
3. Turn and strike the stone on the marked line progressively harder until the cobblestone splits. Chip off jagged edges of the stone by tapping on the protrusions with the chisel side of your hammer until the protrusions snap off of the rock.
